A husband asks John Delony if his marriage can survive after his wife had a year-long affair with his best friend. Caller: “How do I forgive and move forward after my wife and one of my best friends had a year-long affair behind my back? Is it even possible for me to move forward?” John Delony: “Tell me what happened.” Caller: “I got on her laptop and found she’d been on a maternity test website.” Caller: “I questioned her… and found out it was one of my best friends.” Caller: “He was also my boss.” John Delony: “Whoa.” Caller: “He was in our wedding.” Caller: “A few months before we got married, we found out she was pregnant.” Caller: “She wanted an abortion.” John Delony: “Was that because she thought it was somebody else’s baby?” Caller: “Yeah… which I didn’t know.” John Delony: “This girl broke your heart, man.” John Delony: “The only way this marriage survives… is if you completely delete everything you knew about your marriage and start completely over.”

Husband whose wife had multiple affairs including with his best friend asks Dr. John Delony what to do. Caller: “My wife had a long-term affair that started with my best friend and eventually involved other people. She only stopped after she was caught. I don’t even know who she is anymore, and I don’t know how I’m supposed to trust her again.” Dr. John Delony didn’t sugarcoat the situation: “She’s become someone who could betray her husband in an incredibly profound way.” He told the husband that the marriage he thought he had was already gone. “The old marriage is over. You can give her a very clear path to rebuild trust and earn her way back or you can leave.” The hard truth: When betrayal is repeated and only stops after being exposed, rebuilding isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen. It requires radical honesty, consistent accountability, and a complete willingness to change.

Husband whose wife asked for an open marriage after secretly cheating for over a year asks Dr. John Delony what to do. Caller: “My wife asked for an open marriage last year. Later, I found out she’d already been having an affair for a year and a half before she ever brought it up. I can’t stop replaying the images in my head, and the rumination won’t let go.” Dr. John Delony didn’t minimize the betrayal; “The marriage you had is over.” He encouraged the husband not to rush into a decision while still overwhelmed by grief. “You have to sit in that grief and own it before you can decide whether to build something new.” The hard truth: When trust is shattered by deception, the first step isn’t deciding whether to stay or leave. It’s acknowledging that the relationship you thought you had no longer exists. Only then can you honestly decide whether there’s anything new worth rebuilding.

It was with somebody who claimed to be my best friend… and several of my other friends.” John Delony: “How long have y’all been married?” Caller: “We’ve been married since 2016.” John Delony: “So she’s been having an affair almost the whole time?” Caller: “Yeah… emotionally it started in 2018, and it didn’t get physical until late 2019.” John Delony: “Do you have kids?” Caller: “Yeah… I had them tested shortly after we found out.” John Delony: “So y’all have been treading water for a year now?” Caller: “She says she’s really remorseful. She wants to try again. I feel like I don’t know who she is, I can’t trust anything she says.” John Delony: “Both of those things are true. You’re not crazy.” Caller: “I just found out another one of my really good buddies was involved too.” John Delony: “Your wife and this guy too?” Caller: “Yeah.” John Delony: “Good God, dude.” Caller: “I stopped digging because I didn’t want any more names… but they just keep coming out.” John Delony: “Your wife slept with your friends. Friends, plural. You had to get your children tested because of your wife’s lack of integrity.”

Can we rebuild our marriage?” John Delony: “Tell me about it.

Husband who believes his wife is having an affair with the neighbor asks Dr. John Delony what to do. Caller: “Our neighbor is constantly around. He buys clothes for my son, cooks for my wife, and leaves things in our house. She insists nothing is going on, but the evidence keeps piling up. I feel trapped because I can’t seem to get away from him.” Dr. John Delony focused on the pattern of behavior rather than the suspicion alone; “Behavior is a language she’s being very clear with you.” He said that if the couple wanted any chance of rebuilding trust, they had to eliminate the ongoing connection. “Sell the house or create real distance. Trust requires no contact.” The hard truth: Trust can’t begin to heal while the person at the center of the conflict remains a constant presence. Whether an affair occurred or not, healthy boundaries and honest conversations are essential if a marriage is going to recover.

John Delony says the first conversation can determine whether you lose your child. Caller: I recently found out my daughter… she’s 15… and I found out she and her friend are dating. My husband and I are Christians, and I’m trying to figure out how to talk to her… what boundaries to set. John Delony: How did you find out they were dating? Caller: She was texting her girlfriend on my phone… she forgot to delete the messages. John Delony: Good for you for being a parent that checks your kid’s phone. You’re a parent. John Delony: Here’s the first thing. If your 15-year-old had a boyfriend, you wouldn’t let him spend the night. Caller: Right. John Delony: So that world ends immediately. Caller: We put a stop to the sleepovers immediately. John Delony: But I want her to know the sleepovers are not ending because you’re gay. John Delony: They’re ending because you’re dating somebody. I wouldn’t let you have any partner over here. John Delony: Then we get to the faith part of this. John Delony: I cannot count the number of parents who’ve come to me and said, “I would do anything to have that first conversation back…” John Delony: “I didn’t just give them my opinion on their sexuality… I lost my kid.” Caller: We haven’t talked to her yet. I was waiting until I talked to you. John Delony: The first and most important thing I’d tell any parent is this… John Delony: “You are my daughter, and I will love you till the end of time.”

Man admits he’s been cheating on his wife for 8 years… and still finds ways to blame her. Caller: “I’ve been married more than 20 years. I got involved with a coworker. It’s been about eight years now.” He said he struggled with the situation. “I’ve had a very difficult time dealing with those emotions. It’s drawn me away from being the best husband and father.” But he insisted he didn’t want his marriage to end. “I don’t want a divorce. I never planned this.” Dr. John Delony: “This isn’t a one-night stand. This is an eight-year-long sexual and emotional affair.” Then he challenged the way the caller was talking about it. “You’re talking about it like it just happened.” And then came the question he couldn’t avoid: “You’re going to blame your wife for this too?” Delony pointed out that marital tension doesn’t justify betrayal. “I don’t know a single marriage that doesn’t have tension when kids come along. That’s par for the course.” “And still… you chose to sleep with one of your employees for the better part of a decade.” Then he brought the conversation back to personal responsibility. “You have agency. You’ve always had agency.” His final assessment was brutal: “You’ve burned your house down. It’s already gone.” But he didn’t leave the caller without a path forward. “The only thing you can do now is the next right thing.” The hard truth: An eight year affair isn’t a lapse in judgment. It’s thousands of individual choices repeated over time. You can’t undo them, and you can’t outsource responsibility for them. If there’s any path forward, it starts with stopping the blame, telling the truth, accepting the consequences, and doing the next right thing.

My Girlfriend Gave Me An HIV; Not Sure Where To Go From Here ( Should We Stay Together?) Caller (Tim):so my question is, my girlfriend gave me a... a quite serious STD, and my parents found out about this. They are now against our relationship saying that it's a way that God is showing that this relationship was not meant to be. Um, I've been fighting this like against my parents. And my question is, has... is there too much that has happened for this relationship to work? Uh, or am I trying too hard to make it work? Dr. John Delony: Bro, there's a lot going on here, man. Whole lot. Um, before I dig in, let's... let me just... let's just have a conversation so I can get to know you for a second. Is that cool? Caller: Okay, yeah. Dr. John Delony: Um, you sound a little bit nervous. Are you nervous, or is this just weird? Or, I realize you're calling a stranger being like, "Yeah, I got an STI from this woman that I love." This whole thing's kind of weird. Caller: Well, no. This is basically the first person outside of this situation that I've talked to, so... Dr. John Delony: Gotcha. Well, dude, I'm... I'm grateful for the trust. It sounds like there's a lot, lot going on here. Um, tell me about you. How old are you? What do you do for a living? All that kind of stuff. Caller: Uh, 27.

Caller: No, I don't. Dr. John Delony: Okay. So, what kind of STI did you get? Caller: Uh, HIV. Dr. John Delony: Okay. So, you've got HIV. Okay, so I was wondering if this was... The... my first question was why in the world do your parents know? Um, if I'm 27, the last people on planet Earth I would call and tell I have an STI is my parents. But, um, HIV is super serious. What is your, um, health prognosis? Caller: it's... so, I guess the situation gets a little bit more difficult because, my dad does computer diagnostics, and he was able to accidentally kind of find out I have this, and so I am... Dr. John Delony: Accidentally kind of? What does that mean? Caller: Meaning he wasn't expecting it. He wasn't looking for it. It was just kind of came up when, uh, he was doing the... I regularly do checkups. He's a... a doctor. Dr. John Delony: Oh, so he's a doctor at the place where you went to get checked out, and he discovered through the computer system that his son has HIV? Caller: Yes. it's a... alternative medicine that he does, and so it's... it's a very different kind from modern medicine, so it's just the way that he found out. Um, I just go to my dad for all his, checkups. Dr. John Delony: Yeah. What a mess. Okay, so tell me about this person that you're dating. Caller: Um, so... um... I guess what... uh, what would you like to know about her? Dr. John Delony: Well, just tell me about her. Caller: Well, uh, she's a... she's a nurse. Um, and, uh, Illinois, and, um... This is the second, uh, serious relationship she's had. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Caller: Uh, for me, it's... um, maybe the first serious relationship for me. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Caller: Um, and so, she's... I mean, she grew up in a Christian family. She's... um... Dr. John Delony: Did she knowingly... knowingly give you HIV? Caller: No, she didn't know about it. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Is she the first person you've ever slept with? Caller: Yes. Dr. John Delony: Okay. How long have y'all been together?

The... my first question was why in the world do your parents know? Um, if I'm 27, the last people on planet Earth I would call and tell I have an STI is my parents. But, um, HIV is super serious. What is your, um, health prognosis? Caller: it's... so, I guess the situation gets a little bit more difficult because, my dad does computer diagnostics, and he was able to accidentally kind of find out I have this, and so I am... Dr. John Delony: Accidentally kind of? What does that mean? Caller: Meaning he wasn't expecting it. He wasn't looking for it. It was just kind of came up when, uh, he was doing the... I regularly do checkups. He's a... a doctor. Dr. John Delony: Oh, so he's a doctor at the place where you went to get checked out, and he discovered through the computer system that his son has HIV? Caller: Yes. it's a... alternative medicine that he does, and so it's... it's a very different kind from modern medicine, so it's just the way that he found out. Um, I just go to my dad for all his, checkups. Dr. John Delony: Yeah. What a mess. Okay, so tell me about this person that you're dating. Caller: Um, so... um... I guess what... uh, what would you like to know about her? Dr. John Delony: Well, just tell me about her. Caller: Well, uh, she's a... she's a nurse. Um, and, uh, Illinois, and, um... This is the second, uh, serious relationship she's had. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Caller: Uh, for me, it's... um, maybe the first serious relationship for me. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Caller: Um, and so, she's... I mean, she grew up in a Christian family. She's... um... Dr. John Delony: Did she knowingly... knowingly give you HIV? Caller: No, she didn't know about it. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Is she the first person you've ever slept with? Caller: Yes. Dr. John Delony: Okay. How long have y'all been together?

Man married for 24 years with zero physical intimacy asks Dr. John Delony what to do. Caller: “My wife and I have been married for 24 years, and there’s no physical touch between us at all. I’ve given her space for years because of her trauma and health issues, but I’m struggling. I feel like I’m slowly drowning in this marriage.” Dr. John Delony’s response was blunt: “You’re not in a marriage. You’re a caretaker.” He told the man that after years of living without intimacy, he had to confront the reality of his situation. “You have to either fully accept that this is the life you’re choosing or decide that you’re leaving.” The hard truth: Compassion for a spouse’s trauma and health struggles is important, but so is acknowledging your own needs. Sometimes the hardest decision isn’t figuring out how to fix the relationship it’s honestly deciding whether you’re willing to live with what may never change.

A husband says his wife wanted to be the sole breadwinner… but he never expected what it would do to their marriage. Caller: “My wife wanted to be the sole breadwinner, and I became the stay-at-home parent.” John Delony: “Did you both agree to this?” Caller: “Yeah. I wanted to be there for my son. I love doing it.” Caller: “But since we’ve had our son, our intimacy has essentially gone to nothing.” John Delony: “Not just sex… is the laughter, eye contact, handholding… is all of that gone too?” Caller: “Yes, pretty much.” Caller: “I’ve done everything she’s asked me to do. More dates, therapy, keeping the house clean, taking care of all the domestic things… nothing has improved.” Caller: “Whenever I bring it up, she says, ‘Oh, we’re on this again.’” John Delony: “Yeah. She doesn’t care.” Caller: “I know she cares about me.” John Delony: “Disagree. Disagree. Disagree.” John Delony: “You’re grasping for scraps of emotional and physical connection.” John Delony: “She’s not working so hard for you and for y’all. She’s working so hard for her.” John Delony: “Marriages only work if they’re co-created.”

Woman who cheated on her husband and lied about it asks Dr. John Delony if she should finally come clean. Caller: “Two months ago, I slept with my gym trainer. I’ve been lying to my husband ever since, and I’ve even lied about it to our marriage counselor. We have two young children, and I’m terrified of what will happen to our family if I tell him the truth.” Dr. John Delony’s response was direct: “You already know the answer.” He argued that hiding the truth wasn’t protecting the marriage it was keeping the relationship built on a lie. “Relationships can’t survive big secrets. You need to tell him.” The hard truth: Confessing may have painful consequences, but continuing to build a marriage around a secret affair doesn’t give either person a real chance to make an honest decision about the future.

A man who says he’s regretted his marriage for 14 years asked Dr. John Delony whether it’s finally time to leave. Caller: “I’ve regretted getting married almost from the beginning. I even tried to call off our engagement, but everyone told me I was just dealing with anxiety. I eventually had an affair, I’m no longer attracted to my wife, and I’ve spent 14 years building resentment toward her.” Delony didn’t let him avoid responsibility; “For 14 years, you’ve continued making choices that have kept you in this situation. You’ve chosen misery and infidelity over and over again.” His advice was blunt: “Own your part in this. You have two honest options: fully commit to repairing this marriage or leave. Either decision will require courage, but continuing to live in resentment isn’t a solution.” The hard truth: You can’t spend 14 years blaming someone else for a life you repeatedly chose to continue. At some point, you have to take responsibility for what you do next.

Saving Myself For Marriage Was A waste. Caller (Anna): ...how can I help the bitterness and resentment that's growing in me towards my husband, I feel like he's ruining s*x for me. Dr. John Delony: How is he ruining sex for you? Caller: Okay, so background... I grew up... Dr. John Delony: (laughing) You were like, "Okay, let's do this." Caller: (laughs) I grew up very religious. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Caller: Very religious. No fun things in the bedroom until marriage. Dr. John Delony: Okay, so you didn't sleep with anybody else until you got married. Caller: Correct. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Caller: I met my husband now, husband at 27, married at 30. So a long time. A long time. Dr. John Delony: Awesome. Caller: And while I absolutely adore him and I think he is a wonderful wonderful person when we got married, it was... it just was not at all... Dr. John Delony: What you had built it up to be? Caller: Yes, and it still isn't. I feel like... and I've... I've talked to him about it, and my thing is... our honeymoon felt like a vacation. It didn't feel like a honeymoon. Dr. John Delony: What does that mean? What does that mean? Caller: That means that I had to initiate a lot of the time. That means that he initiated maybe once in the whole honeymoon. And I feel like he was more concerned about looking pool-time and, you know, sightseeing than he was with the point of the honeymoon, in my opinion. Dr. John Delony: Okay. Caller (Anna): And that carried when we got home, of course, that carried on. It only kind of became a little bit more stagnant. And that aggression, that lust, that passion isn't there. And I've had to initiate a lot, way more than I really want to. And I don't feel desired anymore. And this is going to sound so stupid, but... Dr. John Delony: Nothing you're saying is stupid. Caller (Anna): I've been having these thoughts where it's like, if this was what it was going to be, I could have been having fun in my twenties. Dr. John Delony: Sure. That's not stupid at all, not even a tiny bit. Caller (Anna): Okay. Dr. John Delony: Don't beat yourself up about that. Caller (Anna): What was the point? What was the point if I was just going to have a regular, normal, boring marital s*x life, then I could have had fun while I had time, you know? And as horrible as that sounds, it's how I feel, you know? Dr. John Delony: I don't think it sounds horrible. I don't think it sounds horrible, it makes sense. But I think there's something deeper than this. Tell me if I'm crazy, okay?

Caller: This time last year, my wife asked me for an open relationship. I could tell she had been struggling for a long time, and I didn't want to immediately shut her down. So I told her, "I'll give you a month. Don't do anything physical. Take the time to gather information, and then come back and explain why you think this would help our marriage." Dr. John Delony: She was already involved with somebody, wasn't she? Caller: She was. She'd actually been involved with someone for about a year before she even asked me. She already had a plan. We set a bunch of ground rules if we were ever going to try an open relationship, but she was with someone almost immediately and it was someone different from the first person. Both of them were coworkers. After that first month, I realized this wasn't something I wanted any part of. Honestly, I think I knew that before I ever agreed to it. I asked her to stop, and she said, "No." She also told me she wasn't sleeping with anyone else, but she was still sleeping with me. Later, I found out she wasn't using protection with these other people. Dr. John Delony: Have you ever heard the story about the rattlesnake in the paper bag? Caller: I think so, but you'll have to remind me. Dr. John Delony: A man finds a paper bag with a rattlesnake trapped inside. The snake says, "Help me out. I'm stuck. The man says, I'm not reaching in there. You're a rattlesnake you'll bite me." The snake replies, "No, I won't. I just need your help. Eventually, the man believes him, reaches into the bag, and the snake bites him. The man says, "Why did you bite me? You promised you wouldn't." The snake replies, "I'm a rattlesnake. That's what I do Then the snake asks again, "Please help me out of the bag. The man says, "No, you just bit me." The snake says, "I know, but I got it out of my system. I won't do it again." The man believes him, reaches back into the bag and the snake bites him again. Dr. John Delony: That's you.
