Hi  there! 

Just in case you’re wondering, I’m John, Leslie’s husband. And no, I’m not the one who cheated on her. I’m the one who had the good fortune of meeting her after her divorce. If you’re looking for some hope of a better life then read on.

Like Leslie and many of you, my mate cheated on me and she actually ended up with my best friend. So I certainly know, from firsthand experience, the pain and hopelessness, as well as what it’s like for a man to go through this process. Personally, I think it’s a bit different for a guy. You women may disagree, but as a man, I found it even more difficult to find support and help. Most men feel you should just get over it, but I couldn’t.

We guys naturally close off when betrayed and it’s doubly hard for a guy to know who to tell. I think women, as a whole at least, have a group of friends they can speak with, but guys seem to have fewer places to turn. More than that, it’s really hard to admit what happened for fear of what others will think.

Then I met Leslie. She was 2 years post divorce and on a mission to raise her children and help the hurting. I was smitten, but as her kid’s youth minister, I had to take it slow. We began sharing and building a new relationship—one built on lessons we had learned and the growth God had produced. We found many things in common as a result of our betrayals, but one thing was clear, both of us wanted to give a hand up to those who were where we had once been.

Thankfully, the kids approved, and we got married, Leslie not only agreed to share her life, but she invited me to help in developing “Harboring Hope”. Honestly, she’s done the majority of the heavy lifting, but I’ve added my two cents.

If you’re like me and the vast majority of my clients, you’re going to want to find how to move beyond this pain. You want to find others who really understand, not those who think they know what they would do if they were in your shoes. And I know you want to find the quickest way to get there, which is why we’ve developed the Harboring Hope program.

So hang on, help is coming. I hope you’ll join us in the healing journey. Why would you want to hurt a day longer than necessary?

Best regards,
John
