I am a divorced and now single LDS woman. I know that I have a story to share. I am not sure why, but I know that I feel led by the Lord (repeatedly-sometimes it takes me a while to listen) to share my story. I hope it will give you strength, hope, and faith as you face whatever challenges may come your way. Due to the incredibly sensitive nature of this blog, names, dates, and personal or identifying details of any sort will be changed. The promptings I have had include me copying word for word from my journal, which is a portion of the documentation on how my life was turned upside down.
Brief History:
3 years ago my husband and I had gone to church where I had just taught Relief Society and it was a wonderful Sabbath day. He said he needed to talk. We did. He told me that he did not believe in the Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), that he was not only addicted to, but loved and did not have a desire to ever stop, pornography, and that he did not love me anymore and thought he might want a divorce. A day to remember, I assure you. Needless to say, I did not sleep that night. This was the opening day of my world changing. My life as I knew it would never be the same. This is my story.

I just felt to add that the pornography was not new. It was an issue that was there before we got married and all throughout our 15 years of marriage. I am grateful that this is not always the path of pornography, but this was our path.
OMgosh, your story has touched my heart. You must have felt like a bomb went off in your life. I'm not LDS, I'm a Catholic, but I am a woman of deep faith as it sounds like you are. That we have in common. I also have been through many, many trials, one very similar to yours. Someday perhaps I can share it with you.
I want to assure you though that, whatever you are going through now is a darkness which our Lord will use to work through you. You will become stronger, more faithful and if you stand strong in Him, you will feel joy again which you never would have felt had this not happened. God knows every hair on your head. He knew you by name before you were born. Mere humans may disappoint you but He never will. Your x husband will be the loser in all this. Obviously evil has entrenched itself in his life. You're better off without him. I don't know how you found my blog, and although our religious beliefs are very different, I will be keeping you in my prayers. Blessings, Tia
