Your Thoughts on my Accountability Partner

[Mancub13]

All,

I have asked my wife to be my accountability partner on this journey to a P free life. Do you think this is a wise choice, or is this a recipe for disaster? I know my thoughts, I'd like to hear yours. Thank you.

I think its a very wise choice. Your wife knows you better than anyone else, and is more likely to be around when temptation strikes. You need though to make a pact to never lie to her however much it may hurt as times may come when you really don't want to own up to something.

Dom,

Thank you for your reply. I have talked to her about using an accountability software, specifically "Covenant Eyes". I know that no software is glitch free, but I hoped that this would give me better accountability and more of an incentive to come clean if there is a relapse (She's going to know within a week anyway). My real concern is how I will react if I do relapse and then tell her freely and she still gets upset about it out of a "knee-Jerk" reaction. I don't know if I will handle it well. Your thoughts, all?
