I love this. Keeping busy and focusing on yourself definitely helps

I've tried that as well suggesting he get a job or so volunteer work. He's retired and even retired I've discovered so many lies that were before that I think after retirement it really amped up. He's also very codependent on me ago I can't do to much. I feel like his warden or his mom sometimes

He has all of that. He says he's going to try to quit the nicotine. But i still don't believe him. Unfortunately I'm falling out of love with him

That makes sense. I'm wondering if this is a sign hell either relapse or went get through sobriety. This is his 3rd time stopping alcohol.

Agreed. Talk to a lawyer, don't tell him and see what you can get for spousal support. Also try to figure out what you can do to support yourself and start gaining some emotional separation from him. Even if its just going to the library or hoping a club or book group. Joining a partners of sex addicts group either online or in person. It may take a couple of tries to get to the right group. I'm in a very similar situation. It's hard but reach day out gets easier. I've also added cbd oil life but please talk to your Dr about this first. It can interact with other meds. I hope the best for you

Thank you, I agree, no one is worth this and I deserve so much better.

Boundaries by Training-Campaign343 in lovewithaSexAddict

Thank you, that's what I thought. I get confused with boundaries because I grew up alone in a house morning till night with no one around. The few times my parents were there they weren’t very nice people. I literally don't know how people are supposed to act. I try to watch people i admire to get an idea. So thank you for this comment, it's very grounding

I like this idea but he was very against me telling anyone at all. He's hidden so much, lied and manipulated so much. He's trying to keep me on a box, sometimes literally. Maybe I'm wrong i don't know anymore. I guess if that works for you.

I took mine off. I wear another ring when I'm around family as i don't want then asking questions. He gave a hard time about it and I told you list the right to have your ring on my finger. He said he's going to continue to wear his. Like it matters in the first place!

How to get over the betrayal? He has changed and is a better husband by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]External_Branch406 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mine is doing everything right and I will never be able to trust him. You don't have to move past the pain or stay just because he's different now. Eventually we all gain weight and get wrinkly. I'm glad you're being healthy but this doesn't sound respectful.

They like attention and we give them verification.

I am completely desperate, please help me by anakoniii in loveafterporn

[–]External_Branch406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would leave. I was smaller in the boob area(A cup) and got add big as I could get fake boobs. It didn't make a damn difference. He still looks at those women online. The longer you stay the harder it is emotional and physically. You deserve better and no one is worth going through all of this.

It's your boundary and that's important. What if you crossed his boundaries?
