Warning: long post

I feel like my world is falling apart. There’s a girl we’ve had disagreements over for probably the past year. He would hide their conversations, look up her instagram often, and saved pictures of her in the chat. I obviously get upset, and he knows how I feel and jokes about it but sometimes reassures me. Two days ago, he brought her up randomly. Later on, I asked if they were talking again, he said yes, and I asked him not to follow her. He said okay and unfollowed her. Later on, I happened to see he was following her again. I obviously felt hurt and lied to, so I brought it up. He denied following her again, and I assume quickly unfollowed her before showing me. I wanted to see what they were talking about that made him so adamant in following her because I felt he wouldn’t be honest with me if I asked. I logged into his Snapchat, and he saw yesterday. For a while after, he acted fine, fairly normal. I chose to be honest and apologized, and he said “honestly, I don’t give a f*ck.” And now he’s been between acting fine and then being cold and distant. I texted him today asking what steps I should take to help us get back to normal because I do understand why he’s upset, and he told me he couldn’t tell me. I told him I texted because I knew I’d cry if I said it all out loud, and he said he texted because he “didn’t want to” say it out loud. We moved to a new state and I don’t really have friends or anything yet, so I’m feeling super alone. For background context: he used to frequently use pornography in literally any way possible (other girls he knows, tinder, onlyfans, sites, saved snippets of movies, etc.) He also has PTSD. There’s been multiple times I’ve called him out on his behavior in the past and he’s asked for a divorce and then taken it back or given me the silent treatment. I don’t know what to do to make things okay again. I just want to go back to how we were two days ago.

Talk to him making clear that you’re not there to judge him, but ask him if he’s happy with how everything is going with you, with himself, or if he can see something that it’s not quite right or could be better than it is. Try to make him think consciously, because it looks like he’s looking for a distraction from what’s really around him. This thing about pornography is really toxic for anyone’s life, does he feel bothered by his own attitude about this? Have he ever tried to stop? If you have faith in Jesus, pray before talking to your husband, invite him to pray too, offer the most precious help and if he doesn’t accept, keep praying for him and for yourself as the Lord Jesus Christ strengthens you to not feel alone. I’m recommending to you not a religious thing, but a relationship with God as the one that saved me from a similar situation.

Obviously he has no intention to stop talking to this girl which is a huge problem. Its a lack of respect for you. Which is a problem. Demand respect mama.

@seo I don’t even know how to at this point. He’s refusing to talk to me unless he absolutely has to, and he’s withholding affection. I feel like a kid in trouble.

Do you want to stay with him?? It's clear he's not into your relationship& id giving you the silent treatment like a child. Sounds like hes a child who can't control his urges. Not partner material in my opinion. Im sorry
