Fallen

I tripped and fell, caught myself with my right arm dusted my self off and thought I had only hurt my knee. 2 days later could barely move my right arm. Funny how God works.

I have been in the ER and to the Doctor and in so much pain. I can't even hold my youngest when she cries. I have been unable to dress myself or bathe. I have been forced to accept help from my husband. This has been so odd for me ! being so vulnerable in pain and NEEDING HIM has made my grief so strange! I have not been able to do barely anything for the children, cook and now can no longer drive for the pain in my shoulder and that now affects my arm. I realized the kids have been such a help with distracting me from the pain.

I have had to ask him for help when I don't want him near me.

My husband and had an argument and I told him I was divorcing him. He said he already knew and thought I would and began his speech about always loving me and the kids.

My husband has always been over sexed. I don't know how else to put it. From the time we dated even after marriage he could never get enough sex. He was in love with his manhood. He paid attention to it, admired it in the mirror, always touching himself. I realized after our 5th anniversary that I wasn't really able to keep with him any more. I just didn't want sex as often. I know that at some point he began to play online with other women, and I ignored it because honestly, I couldn't keep it up. I was tired of the constant sexual work, sex was no longer passionate, it became not as pleasurable , as connected as we once were. He changed and often acted out and spoke to me in ways that were demeaning. I didn't like how his dick became a weapon. I felt like he took his aggression out on me with sex more and more. I ignored behaviors like these I see now, which lead to him cheating. I ignored him when I knew he was masturbating online with other women.

It is hard to describe for me how I was able to turn my head and ignore what he was doing alone by himself online, but I knew him so well I knew he didn't realize I knew. And, at times I felt it helped me with him. I didn't want him having sex with anyone but I didn't have a boundary apparently there that was strong enough to make me call him on this!! I knew when pornography went into skype-sex. So I can not say I didn't know. I just didn't want to look at it, care about it because I didn't have to have sex with him so much.

And sex was not sex. As I read here so often. Sex was constantly changing up. Sex was an outlet, or entertainment for him. He could go on and on. If he didn't masturbate so often maybe he could achieve orgasm~ so I have been feeling lately as if this is a little my fault for ignoring this.

I had times when I knew so exactly what he was doing, it didn't surprise me. I felt realized. But I noticed things about his sexual nature and preferences that began to show me the variety of things he was interested in. Things he didn't talk to me about. So he became secretive. And again, noticed the secrecy...and felt relieved. He was leaving me alone.

I feel bad for this though now. I feel as if when I should of called him out, I chose the easy way for me. Because I was tired of having sex with him, the demanding sex. The way he wanted sex to have priority over everything, even the kids. The way he could block things out that were pending, because he needed sex.

so now I am in pain and in a sling doing everything with my left hand. My mother took my youngest today and I so sad. I am feeling so guilty today for looking the other way when I knew from the 1st time that he wasn't exactly being totally faithful to me.

I have been praying and praying God to not let me hate him. I have not wanted to ask for help from him. I have had tears running down my face and didn't want to ask him for help! I can't keep typing for the pain now and may not be able to write again for a while.

thank you for your prayers thank you so much for praying for my children. They don't know anything yet. I am working on doing everything left handed and can't do much of anything and the grief is so bad and I feel bad for turning my head. I feel like if I had called him on it , maybe it never would of progressed to cheating and a baby.

I have been following your

I have been following your story and truly feel your pain. I would like to point out one thing about the sex though. Perhaps it was not that you couldn't keep up with his sexual demands, but that you just plain didn't want to have sex with him! When a woman is demeaned by a man and things have been said that can never be taken back, it is HARD to want to be intimate with them. Also, maybe he isn't that great in bed. If the sex was "out of this world" for you - you would want it all the time!! I guess my point is - You needn't feel as though it is your fault IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. You had been abused. Who wants to have sex with their abuser? You are being too hard on yourself. Just my two cents, for what it's worth.

You are a woman of faith

no where in the Bible does it say that I man has ANY reason to behave this way. You didn't want to have sex with him BECAUSE of the way he is. How could you feel safe and emotionally connected to a man that behaved and disrespected you in that manner? Do not take the blame for this on yourself. Keep moving forward knowing that you are justified.

I will

I will continue to move forward, even with my arm in a sling. I have too much time today, on Pain meds and feeling my emotional pain too...I am usually busy with my children, not on the sofa so much. So this time to pause, is just enough to slow me down and allow me to grieve. I put it off so much for the children, esp my littlest who is so sensitive and watches me so closely. thank you so much for your encouragement

Ugh.. And the hits just keep

Ugh.. And the hits just keep on coming.. Sorry.. As afar as your husband.. Over sexed ..really.. Please.. I like cheeseburgers .. Could eat them all day every day, but you know what, I don't.. It's called control.. I'm sick and tired of you guys taking the blame for bad behavior.. It's all about choices.. You made the choice to be a wife, mother and friend,, And what did he do?? Everyone makes mistakes.. Everyone.. But?? Your job now is to take care of You and your family.. He has established that he is not capable.. I think about you often.. What a strong woman.. You will do what's right..you already are. Hunter

thank u

Hunter I am learning every thing left handed. Now too much time on my hands, I feel the grief and pain of losing my family I made with him. I pray I do the right things to get away from him soon and he will move out without issues. He told me he did not want to cause me more problems and would not go against what I ask for. He said it was the least he can do now for me.

Even if you had called him on it, there is no guarantee that any of his behavior would have changed. My ex was also a sex addict. Always masturbating and on line seeking sex from women and God only know who else. I have called him out on it a million times. I would print out the solicitations and shove the proof in his face. Guess what? He would promise to never do it again. The only thing he did was try to get sneakier with the behavior. He never stopped. He couldn't stop. This was part of who he is. I could have had sex with him whenever he wanted (and I did) However he wanted (and I did) and It was never enough. It would never have been enough. There is no satisfying these disordered men. No amount of freaky sex, pole dancing, dildo's, strap on's, threesomes, foursomes, whatever you could think of would satisfy him. You are normal and it is not your fault! He is disordered and He will never change. He will always need more. He is like a bucket with a hole in the bottom. No matter how much water you put in it it will never fill up and the task of trying to fill the bucket with water is useless. I am praying for you and your children. May God grant you some peace and the strength to get through this ordeal.

thank you

I am so sad today, and I really needed to hear your words. Because I know I tried, I wanted nothing but the best for him and our family and because of my shoulder injury I am forced to be still and my grief is intense. I will say it is a shoulder spasm but really I am crying for the loss of my family. I understand he will not change. I just felt that maybe had I of confronted him, maybe?, may I did something to help my family and this not of come about. ? I cry so hard that we were not enough, that happiness is not enough, that nothing we do fills them up enough to be satiated. I pray so hard God will get us through this. Thank you for your words today they really connected for me and I needed to hear just this.

When you are feeling better

You may want to read up on SEX ADDICTION, its just like any other addiction. Once is never enough and 100 times is too many. He is an out of control sex addict. He was a sex addict long before you came along and he will be a sex addict long after you are gone. And like with any addiction they BLAME those closest to them. This is NOT complicated, it is only complicated because YOUR emotions are involved and he has brainwashed you over the years. He is NOT engaging in internet porn and skype because you were a bad wife, he is engaging in these things because he is a sex addict. He cared about his dick more than his family, more than his wife, more than any other problems you may have had because he is a sex addict and his addiction always comes first. If you cannot GET THIS because he has brainwashed you, may I suggest that you attend SLAA meetings for the families and spouses of Sex addicts. They have the meetings for them and the meetings for the VICTIMS of their horrific sick twisted abuses. These meetings are for YOU not him, for YOU to get better from the damage and brainwashing he has done to YOU throughout this marriage. Like the others here, it breaks my heart to see this freak of nature creating an environment in your home where you actually FEEL GUILTY or bad because he is disordered. You could have had SEX with him 10 times a day for 10 years and he STILL would have turned to porn and skype and he STILL would have blamed you somehow for his NEED to turn elsewhere. I say FUCK HIM, you take control back over your life and your body and let him jerk off until his dick falls off. Now I am pissed because NO ONE has a right to make another feel badly because they are unwilling or able to fill their insatiable PIGISH NEEDS. We know the way it is and we will keep reminding you until YOU BELIEVE in YOURSELF again. God bless, You are in my prayers, Goldie
