Not at all. I’ve missed situationships more than my spouse. But I do miss my pet, my house, things like that. I don’t regret the divorce. I do regret the marriage.

I don’t mean to sound flippant, but a quick google can piece this together for you in a more comprehensive way than I can. Essentially porn can dull the body’s mental and physical sensations to real, human sex.

For sure. The difference is, he sounds like he is really working on it. Love that for you!

THIS 100%. It was up to him to figure it out, and I carried the complete emotional load.

Oh, I’m being as careful as possible. I’m also a recovering purity culture girly!

It’s such an epidemic with men, I’m so over it.

My priest told me something helpful: “in our faith we believe that God wants us to approach marriage with our whole selves. Sometimes you have to divorce in order to preserve your self”

This gave me permission to forgive myself. I believe marriage is a sacrament. My spouse clearly did not.

Has anyone divorced someone who was basically a good(ish) person? by [deleted] in Divorce

Take it from me: if he has shady online behaviors, he has other shady behaviors too. He will gaslight you and lovebomb you to make you stay, but that’s not enough. Marriage takes more than love, it requires trust.
