I know this isn't normal. I thought I married a christian, as I'm a christian. However a month into my marriage I found out my husband is just like any other man who looks at porn, eyes other women, and loves rated R provacative movies with war violence and nudity. Now that I know we don't have the same values, I don't trust him at all. I get insanely jeolous of the women he finds so attractive like those porn stars and stuff. I hate that he makes seeing naked women a hobby. He has lied to me about looking at other women, lied about looking at porn, and has told me and I quote. "I am perfect. Its what God expects from us."

I feel so betrayed because he acted like such a saint when we first met, like he could do no wrong, and only had eyes for me. Now after marriage he is a stranger to me. I am such a sinner now, I don't even call myself a christian anymore because he belittles everything I believe in, and so does his whole family. They hate that I have a brain and my own interpretations.

I have prayed for death because I don't believe in divorce, and I feel trapped to live a life of a mere shadow of somebody else. I don't feel like my husband respects me, and I feel like he has fun making my hurt feelings backfire on me. He told me I was pushing my carnality on him because it hurt me that he looked at naked women. I can't forget how much he hurt me. Every day is such a chore, and I'm still alive. I'm too chicken to kill myself, and yes I already know I'm not normal..
Do you think it's normal?

I just wanted to point a few things out the Bible does says that we should try to be Christ-like but the key word in that sentence is "TRY" No human being could ever be as perfect as the son of God no way, no how.
Also I could be wrong about this but his parents and family obviously are really old-timey christians and believe women should just keep their mouth shut and serve her husband food and have sex with him whenever he wants it. This doesn't sound like the life you want and you don't have to live it this way if you don't want to, because you deserve better than that.

Look according to your own faith God doesn't like divorce but that doesn't mean you are going to go to hell if you get married again. If your husband is not really a true believer and from what it sounds like he obviously isn't, then I don't think God will judge you too harshly if you decide you would be better off without him.

Have you tried to seek advice from a pastor or someone you really trust?

Leave his ass! File for divorce and as for the next man you meet, make sure he is what he says he is and try staying a couple as long as you can before you tie the knot.
OH MY FUCKING GOD HE LOOKS AT PORN!!!!!! HOW DARE HE? IVE NEVER HEARD OF A GUY THAT LOOKS AT PORN BEFORE!!!!!! oh yeah except for........EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GUY IN THIS FUCKED UP WORLD. seriously if you want to be that over-zealous you should just waste your life as a nun or some shit like that. Fucking bullshit religions have held this world back to long and even now that we have evidence of evolution some retards still believe the world is like 8000 years old, if that were true then humans came from outer space because guess fucking what? there are human bones dating back way past 8000 years, in fact our first "recorded" history dates back 10000 years, that was only like a painting on a wall or something but its still fucking evidence, plus the skeletons of dinosaurs that were a little bit older than 8000 years...you think either god was fucking with us or carbon dating was wrong and the dinosaurs were really wiped out last weekend but we just happened not to notice that they were there? give me a fucking break. "They hate that I have a brain and my own interpretations." you dont have a fucking brain, if you did you would have realized that if you don't want him to look at porn maybe you need to do something, or that he has his own interpretations too and you seem to hate his beliefs, or the fact that he isn't fucking perfect. Jesus fucking christ how can you see that no one is fucking perfect, noone is a damned fucking saint and if they say tehy are how can you think they mean it? seriously how retarded could you be to think that a GUY wouldn't like violence and a GUY wouldn't like nudity.

If a parent had a child just to blow its brains out would it be ok because the child wouldn't have existed without the parents anyway? no of course, it would be sick right? well thats what god does really, he is our father we are his children he has the shotgun aiming at our heads and blows our fucking brains out when he wants. so why worship him? Well because hes worse and greater than hitler. Don't get me wrong I hate hitler but he was great, by that i dont mean he did the world a favor i mean he knew what the fuck he was doing, he knew how to control people, he knew how to manipulate people, his quotes are great, and they can be used to explain how religion survives. i cant remember the exact quote by heart but it was something like "if you tell a lie often enough and long enough then people will believe it" and "it is easier to persuade the masses with a large lie, than it is with a small one" well the shotgun wielding god told us from birth for thousands of years and its a pretty dam big lie that hes good, so i guess he got that down. Or of course he doesn't exist, I just like saying he does and why it's bad if he does when talking to religious people, it's easier that way.


Ok my point was simple 1) your retarded. 2)religion is retarded
3)God is either bullshit or the lesser of two evils. we are gods children and fucking god is standing over us with a shotgun on our heads and satan is below with a hot poker to torture us to death. it's not about whos the good one its about whos the least evil.

I wrote a fuck load more but i accidently clicked out, so I'll jsut leave it at this for now and maybe later I'll write more.
Pring, a lot of women don't like it when their husbands or boyfriends look at porn, it has nothing to do with religion. Your perception of God and religion I mean WOW WOW WOW!!!

Ok The idea of religion was made up by man, and you can think whatever you want of people who believe in God, and it is normal to deny God and rebel against what others believe you should conform to, but I don't believe it is God that pulls that trigger or even loads the gun. I honestly believe the new dawn of atheism is coming so you should be pretty proud, I mean look around you they are trying to take rid our country of Christmas and take God out of a tradition that has been going on for centuries. So I guess my children will be celebrating the winter solstice, and I'll be the only one with a Christmas tree in 40 years.
I know, I just felt the need to write anything douchebaggy so i just started writing watever i thought would piss someone off and she sounded pretty religious as the first thing she mentioned was she thought that she married a christian, now why does it matter if you marry someone of the same faith or not?

Anyway I celebrate christmas, it should really be called christmas the whole politically correct thing is just bullshit, besides no one I know actually thinks of christmas a religious and holy event, they may go to church but all they care about are the presents.

Ok I know that women dont like there guys to look at porn but seriously, R rated movies? I love R rated movies, not because of the nudity, but because they are good. And she did tie religion into it quite a bit. But anyway watching porn is not the worst thing that a guy can do and why is it even such a big deal? It's just looking at a naked body everyone has one, its one of the things that nearly every single person will see one so why is it a big deal that her husband looks at it? Every guy does it, doesn't matter what religion they are so the whole "I know this isn't normal. I thought I married a christian, as I'm a christian. However a month into my marriage I found out my husband is just like any other man who looks at porn" doesnt really work.
I can see your point, but many religions believe you should marry someone who is in the same religion so they can be "right" with God or something. I personally don't think watching R movies is a "sin" and this husband probably doesn't even watch them for the nudity.

To the poster: I guess you should join a monastery or something honey, or become a quaker. LOL. JUST KIDDING!!! Seriously though if you want to be a saint and be moral all the time then you can't expect everyone else to believe that way because it is unfortunately fading out.
I THINK YOU SHOULD START DOING YOUR OWN THING. TRY NOT TO WORRY WHAT HE DOES OR CARE WHAT HE DOES. SOMETIMES IF YOU GIVE HIM A LITTLE OF HIS OWN MEDACINE HELL REALIZE WHAT HE COULD BE LOSING.
Well maybe if you went to the gym, got into super-model shape and started acting more like a whore he wouldn't have to look at porn. While you're at it, bring some of your super-model girl friends home with you and whore it up together.
As far as your alleged brain goes, there is no sign of it in your story, so maybe it would be better not to rely on it too much.
Dont even think about doing anything to yourself. You need to kick him to the curb. I had the same kind of husband in my first marriage. He would even go outside and masterbate outside someones window then tell me if I was the kind of wife I should be he wouldnt have to do this. I had long blond haie and weighed 118lbs. God does NOT expect you to live like this. And as far as divorce do it, he is the one that will burn in hell for his actions..he is suppose to trat and love you in the same way that God treated and loved the church does that sound like what he is doing? He is trying to brainwash you, get out while you can.
Moms are overprotective. If your girl loves you for who you are, then screw her mom. Not literally, please. ;)


I have a tattoo... planning on getting another one very soon for my birthday. I think they're hot.
Well, he betrayed you, which is horrible. However, your a obviously a god-loving, true heart christian.
Therefore, I really couldn't care less.
Get a marriage annulment if you don't believe in divorce.
Ouch, life is too short to stay in that arrangement.

Especially if there are no kids, I would already have legal papers in hand, or what @Moonlit_Heart said. wtfever.

Get with someone where you can BE YOURSELF again!
The issue here is not whether his behavior is good or bad or wrong or not, Christian, un-Christian, or whatever! The issue is you feel that he has deceived you. If you haven't yet, you need to make clear to him that you feel like he is not the person you thought he was, that you believe he misrepresented himself. If he refuses to acknowledge that he has tricked you and continues hurting your feelings by proclaiming his values more superior than yours--then you need to say bye bye: neither of you will ever be happy, because you will always expect him to be something he is not. Your life together would only get more painful, especially for you, because he refuses to even acknowledge your point of view. Leave his a*s to be with his precious hobbies, then live your life the way you want it for a while, go out with your friends, and spend a lot more time getting to know your next man.
It's cruel how he treats you. Have you considered asking your pastor to speak to him?
perhaps it has nothing to do with your appearance and more with your behavior. it is logical to test the possibility that you are being the prejudice one in this situation, and noone cares about the way your dress... not as a freak, but someone just like all of us.
Only one month - couldn't this marriage just get annulled? Really - I think you should get out of this marriage. He's not the man you thought, and not only doesn't share your values, he mocks them & his whole family is bullying and belittling you.

As a Christian, if you believe God has a plan for you, then he is sending a pretty clear message: get out and from under the thumb of that squalid little pig: believe & be the things you know that you are.
christians are boring
alot of lonely women would be happy to have a husband that just looks at porn and r-rated movies and has a healthy sex-drive.

you know what i'm sayin'? it's just movies and looking right.
