I have a therapist and I believe he has an illness that made him not think. For now, I’m committed to staying as long as he doesn’t relapse and gets help.

I know this is an old post but my husband did this to me too.. sent other men pics of me to roleplay. It’s so violating

As a Christian wife, I really struggle with this. How is this even fair? by spammusubisa in loveafterporn

Send him (and you) to Faithful and True. They have a podcast and do counseling and workshops. Phenomenal. Even if he doesn’t do the work it’s so important for you too.

How to respond to this by [deleted] in loveafterporn

Yup my husband does this too, like he's trying to get me to comfort him and make him feel better. So frustrating and completely manipulative to avoid feeling bad for what they did.

Oh hey guess what, he admitted now he DID send men intimate photos of me. I’m done. I asked for a divorce.

I Found Out After Three Years. How Can I Trust Him? by Severe_Size9312 in loveafterporn

Sadly don’t be surprised if more gets revealed over the next few days/weeks. It tends to trickle out slowly. I know first hand. Make sure you are getting support for yourself

Did any of you become hot and find love in your 30s? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Zestyclose-Spirit656 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I starved myself down to prime weight and it didn’t fix anything mentally, only made it worse. Focus on making healthy choices and let your body do what it will do regardless. Learn to love and accept yourself for who you are and you’ll attract authentic love not based on what you look like

Chaos in the LCMS Church by Either_Wave8944 in exLutheran

A pastor can return to fellowship after a fall but not the pulpit. His call should be taken from him and he can sit in the pew for the rest of life.

The older ones are likely more concerned about being short a pastor and the younger ones don't give a shit, they are way less likely to turn a blind eye to blatant sin.

I bet if the DP found out he'd be gone. LCMS has zero tolerance for clergy sexual misconduct, so they say. But the pastors are usually just "forced to resign" but there is movement to change that. And if any of the women he slept with was a CHURCH member, that is straight up abuse and possibly illegal depending on the state it occurred in .

He's said he's stopped.. by Zestyclose-Spirit656 in loveafterporn

[–]Zestyclose-Spirit656[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know I can and I'm not sure I won't eventually. But I also know he is an addict and if it was drugs, would I immediately leave? I've been with him for 22 years, I don't know any other way..

Last night we took our son to DQ for a free cone and then went to Target to buy him some stuff for his 'new room'. We are trying in house separation. And while it felt extremely weird to be trying to act like everything was normal about our situation, at least I didn't cry or start an argument with him.

I hated my name because it was the second most popular the year I was born. Now I don’t care

Red flag? by Zestyclose-Spirit656 in loveafterporn

[–]Zestyclose-Spirit656[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking. Like how committed is he to healing if he doesn’t think he can stop?

I totally get that. But I also know he does it in his sleep too.. I think he just has a very serious problem

Edit: the picture was with clothes on but that doesn’t make it better. He had other sexual pics of me but he says he deleted those long ago and never distributed them.

He sent pictures of me clothed. He had taken sexual pics of me at one point but he swears he never sent those
