He says his actions were the devils

Advice MUST include examples of your R. Not prescriptive advice.

I feel forgotten and unloved by my husbands actions during his affair. I say to him how much pain I’m in and how I feel and he says to me “you become your thoughts” whenever I talk about how hard this is on me. My husband was never religious before and now all he talks about is God. He says my thoughts about his affair and feeling like it means he doesn’t love me or thoughts regarding leaving him are bad thoughts that make me vulnerable to the devil. He says I need to rebuke the devil and walk with him to the light. He says him having sex with those sex workers and trying to do porn behind my back was the devil taking over.

I feel ovehemed by having to learn all these different versions of him. First he was husband who I knew for 8 years. Then he turned out to be a liar and manipulator and cheater and now he is religious. He spends his time reading the bible. He also always has this bible video playing on hyper speed out loud. It’s just always playing as background noise. I don’t know how to accept all of this. Is this new version of him the real him now. I miss the peace I used to have. Peace that I felt when I thought I was safe and loved and my husband was faithful. Now I spend my days crying and feeling overwhelmed by rage and pain. How could he sleep with all those women. How could he do those things in that room while I was at home with our kids. Is he using religion to cover his shame? Did your wayward turn to god?
