Hi,
I've read your story and I'm so sorry you've hit a brick wall again. You keep coming back here which is amazing but given everything you have said I really believe you should tell your wife. It took me a long time to finally tell my husband and I felt like such a failure and I was scared I'd lose him and my four kids but as much as he was upset, angry and disappointed he stood by me. I have relapsed once since coming clean and that was horrendous admitting it (he actually guessed due to my mood changes). Anyway what I'm trying to say is you have kept all this to yourself for such a long time it's not good for you. Please offload this to someone, that way you can be held truelly accountable and you'd be surprised how much better you will feel.
Apologies for going on a bit I really am rooting for you to beat this x
Thanks for your comments. I just struggle with getting my side across and don’t think I could handle telling her. She’d look at me completely different.

Yes she might look at you different to begin with that's understandable but it will pass the more you recover and prove you are beating this, she will want to understand and help you.
One thing my husband said to me was "I can't believe you've struggled with this for so long on your own" I think he was more upset that I didn't feel I could confide in him.
Have you thought about writing it all down and giving it to her? That way you can say what you need and it will give her time to absorb it all?
