HELP! Never satisfied and scared
Every time I get a girl I want to be with and once they want me back and say I love you I don’t want them anymore. I’ve been doing this since I was 15. I’m in my forties and thought this would stop. Nothing is good enough. I started hanging out with my ex wife again (we have theee young daughters together) and it has been amazing until it was wasn’t with my thoughts over flooding me. Especially while at a pool party with other women being there and then I start comparing and wishing I had this feature or that. I feel awful. I do badly want to just be with her and keep the family together but I can’t seem to get over this rumination of wanting better. Now that we have been hanging out together including the kids for the past week the pressure is even higher. I plead to God to help me be satisfied and happy and to take this sick cup I keep drinking out of. I hate hurting people especially my ex. I’m always wishing she was this or that and it sickens me. I’m not sure how to do ERP with lusting thoughts of women I see or how to even do that with my exes physical features. My brain is on fire and I can’t eat or sleep. I’m having bad stomach issues. I keep on saying if this was right you’d feel better. But when I’m away from her and raising my daughters alone for 7 days straight I will miss her. I’m also highly protective of her. If I think of her dating other people or being with someone else my brain self destructs. I just feel I’m beyond saving with this stuff and don’t even really know what love is. People say it’s possibly lust but I feel it’s far more than that. My brain never stops with overthinking and over thinking and even more over thinking. I want to just cry and cry. Why can’t I just be with her and be happy and not have these thoughts!? It’s never enough. :-/
