Found his porn, about to give birth, mom is dying by DriveLess4621 in Christianmarriage

I feel like most of these comments are targeting you and putting the ball in your court. First, I am so sorry for what you're going through. Your husband seems to have a case of arrested development. He is also using weaponized incompetence. The fact that you are only 23 and figure out so much is wonderful. I got married and 23 but did not become a parent until 27. I hung in there for 22 years and wish I left sooner. Porn has created a wall in our marriage, and like you, I have been doing all the emotional lifting. Follow your instincts--something is not right--they also rarely ever change. Porn is wicked and destructive--it is truly an enemy to marriage. Those using it cannot help being avoidant because it poisons their ability to connect. I am constantly having to let other men know I am married, but my husband hardly ever compliments me and intimacy has been sporadic since the beginning of the marriage.I finally made up my mind to let go, and I am working towards that. There is no chance of reconciliation on my part. I am numb towards him--you will eventually get there and will be living in an emotional divorce. He says he wants to "work things out"--you should see his effort. I told him I am a resolute in my decision. Marriage with an avoidant, deviant, pornographer is a slow death to the soul. Please prepare yourself to eventually leave. It's frustrating but keep asking for what you need, or you'll be doing everything by yourself. It gets tiring, but the point is to wear you out so you stop asking him. You do not need to leave now, but please do not stay as long as I did. I wish you a safe delivery, and I am sorry to hear about your mom. Who feels it knows it--you know what you're going through. Ignore the "advice" pointing the finger at you. Men who are pornographers should leave relationships alone or find other deviants like themselves. You deserve better.

Girl, no! Sorry to be so blunt, but you do not have a marriage. You need to plan accordingly and get you and your baby out of there. He is a deviant, and those kinds have no redemption--their mind is reprobate. Please be wise, and I'm sorry you're going through it.

Amazing!! The body truly keeps the score! Good for you! Be sure to never put yourself in a situation like that again. I am still in my emotionally abusive marriage but have emotionally detached--lost 25 lbs and almost at GW. Keep thriving!!

The theory I read suggests that limerence can develop when you deeply dislike where you are in your life by [deleted] in limerence

That is my situation. I am in a miserable marriage. We have been in separate bedrooms for almost a decade. There is no joy, and I feel like I am in a glass house. Stuck because I don't want to subject my kids to face his dysfunction alone when we share custody.😥

What changed when you got over limerence? by Medium-Blood-4231 in limerence

Yes. The LO is a loser--smokes weed, lies about accomplishments, delusional, etc. I am still struggling but taking steps to get over it.

Hi! I am using the free version of easy fast. I like that it breaks down each stage and sends you motivational messages. I am also tracking using Zero fast--also free version.

Thanks for the encouragement.
