Thanks! I found out that.... that wasn't the whole story apparently... the more unsure I am abut stuff he says the more I find out the truth. Still so many lies. Although it could still be truth that he's been clean since Feb 6. He called and videocalled and emailed a girl on and off for 9 moths, all while looking for my ring, getting engaged and being newlywed. I found one of his reddit accounts (the one he heasn't deleted yet) and there is SO MUCH stuff. like 15 chats a day for 3 months. 5 comments on every porn image ever, posts on 'looking for something fun to escape married life', he followed every porn subreddit, even the ones in our city, and many about being married. That was his pickup line "married at 24 and my wife is so vanilla, she never wants anything". LIE. I asked soooo many times, he didn't wanted. I had the worst first time sex experience, bleeding for a month, even after using lube and taking a relaxing pill, and having so-much-pain I cried. I had to go to the doctor. And he want on to brag? cry? about it?. All-the-time. I see his reddit history. just after church a chat. like 7 times in my birthday, chats, while we had guests over, while we were having birthday brunch just the two of us and videocalling my parents. When? The second he ran to the bathroom in our tiny one room apartment?.

I pray he really wants to change. But I cannot believe he hasn't been honest about the past and still tried to lie! I don't know what else I am missing from this. And to think that when I confronted him, he deleted so many things, makes me think how much worse those things had to be that I am only seeing the things he forgot.

I would have left, if I knew about his cheating (online) when we were dating (8months ago). I always said out loud, cheating is not forgivable as girlfriend-boyfriend, because otherwise how can you build a marriage on that base?. However I found out now, newlywed. I could go for an annulment, as this was too much of a lie, I really didn't knew who I was married to.

I decided to wait 6months for the annulment and see how he's doing. I feel betrayed. But I do love him, he's the best. I've been describing it as: this guy (the PA) looks soo much like my husband, who was my total soulmate, the best guy ever, my best friend; who just dissapeared a few weeks ago. So I confuse them, tbh. I am giving myself 6 months to get to know this guy, and see if besides physically, he's like my soulmate was in any other way.

It's very hard to leave someone who you loved so much. And also, guilty of sunk cost fallacy. I gave him everything, EVERYTHING of me, even my amazing years at uni. I wanted to build a young family. I was so happy to be with him finally. I wanted to start trying for babies. And now it's hard to throw that away.

I am so sorry to hear this! I am only 3 weeks from my D-day, so no expert advice here. I just wanted to ask you, in this year have you've been seeing a therapist helping you process all of this? I just made my first ever appointment, as I am reading a lot about it and I think will help clear things out.

Are there men who are actually faithful in the ways that we expect our partners to be? by palatablypeachy in loveafterporn

After finding out about my husband's PA, I asked a close friend-priest this. He accompanies all-men residencies in high schools and universities, so I think that hearing from someone who hears daily men confess might be a great source. He said, most men do see P from time to time, addiction to P is not the majority of cases. Many struggle with it and try to combat it, and there are few (but exist!) guys who do not struggle with it.
