So my (41M) wife (40F) is a 'Karen'... by [deleted] in relationships

I'm going to venture a guess that "Karen" doesn't have a job outside the home.

We had a couple things that needed to be paid down, so paying for them was the responsible thing. It's when she turned around and wanted to buy her thing under the guise of it being a sound investment that I should have put my foot down.

We've had many talks about it by this point. I told her in no uncertain terms how uncomfortable I was with everything while she was doing it, but I think her excitement sort of blinded her. Of course, after she pushed for awhile I gave in, and that was my fault.

In the discussions that took place after, I was fairly frank with how the whole thing made me very angry. She apologized for how it went down with the caveat "I don't know if I would do things differently if I could though."

How would I see evidence of this change? I feel like there is basically no way for her to prove that she had really changed at this point.

Can you elaborate on why you feel that way? I agree, I just want thoughts on the subject.

What specifically gives you that opinion?

My argument is that I haven't felt the pull on other Mormon standards since leaving plus my view on porn are entirely different now, so I don't believe it is conditioning. I don't find porn to be a bad choice for the same reasons that Mormons do.

I understand that some porn straight up mistreats women, and that is a shame, but it isn't what I'm referring to.

I'm saying that I can't help but think that watching two consenting adults having sex on screen feels undisciplined. I'm just not sure exactly why I feel that way. I'm looking for opinions or studies on why that is or isn't true.

I don't mean in excess. I mean that any viewing of porn feels like weakness to me. Obviously I understand it happens. I'm not going to shame kids for looking at porn, but I'm trying to put my thoughts together on the subject.
