Okay. So I'm going to try to say this as clearly and concisely as possible because I know there's a lot to get into. So my question is, is how do I move forward after discovering my husband's porn addiction and debt that he was hiding? from me related to that. So at the end of January this year, it's about five weeks ago, my husband confessed to me out of the blue.
I had no idea that anything was going on. I had no suspicions. I had no concerns. I will say we are people of faith.

I know you're always saying behavior is a language. And 24 hours, like the very next day, immediately, his entire behavior had changed.

he had been pulling away for a long time that he wasn't as affectionate as he used to be.
