When I found out my husband was a sex addict I chose to stick by him through recovery, now after 2 years he wants a divorce because he claims he wants me to heal and he keeps hurting me.

We’ve been together 3 years, 2 years ago I found thousands of naked photos of women, some not naked just saved photos of women, including people we knew. My mother, his sister in law, old coworkers, etc. Thousands of messages for almost ten years asking for photos, videos, conversations. Hidden from me and I didn’t have a clue.

He just started SAA meetings, just started with a personal counselor again (2nd time) and he was caught in a lie on Thursday. I was so furious, the pain just flooded my body of another betrayal.

Fast forward to today (Saturday), he stayed in a hotel and then a friends now he wants a divorce. He says this isn’t what he wants but that he keeps hurting me and can’t keep doing that to me.

I am a devoted and loyal wife, it hasn’t been easy but I was committed. I feel so broken and empty, hopeless that I could be such a fool to support him just to be abandoned once all the pieces of me were shattered and broken.

How do I begin to take a step forward in this new life? He’s going out, drinking, hanging out with buddies and I’m devastated.
