why is this so hard on me?!?!?!

okay, so he admitted to me that he cheated while we were engaged (less than a month before our wedding)...we have been married almost 3 years this summer.

he has an addiction to sex and pornography...i feel i can never "please" him enough b/c he expects to get what he has seen for so long (although he claims he is done with porn)...he has been addicted for 8+ years.

i have a heaviness in my heart- which makes me wonder if it is my instinct telling me to stay or if it is just normal?!?!  i am young...23...and i feel if i get out now while no kids are involved, i still have my whole life ahead of me.

I have moved out and am now on my own (we have been separated for a month now).  Trying to sell our house.

i am not sexually attracted to him and i feel like he always puts himself first.  he has admitted that.  he claims he will change but with his dishonesty, i have no reason to believe him.  but he also says he will give me what i want....but what is it that i want?!?!?!

i am so confused and so sick...mentally, emotionally and physically...HELP!!!!

It's normal that you should be confused on how you feel. You put your trust and faith in your husband and he has betrayed that trust. I can only tell you from my experience that he may not be able to change. Mine was also into porn in the early years and that has escalated to something I can't bear to talk about. I hate to think of the number of times he has cheated on our relationship. My ex also put himself first in a passive agressive way. He hid his affairs well. He was high enough in his company to doctor his paycheck when he took off work to meet with one of his girlfriends. I wish I had know all of his vices a lot earlier. I would not have been married to him for 33 years.
Perhaps the heaviness in your heart is sadness over the failure of your marriage and the divorce that may be happening.
Yes, he does need counseling. You say you are not sexually attracted to him. Do you want to live many years with someone you are not sexually attracted to? You need to see a therapist on your own and try to work thru all the feelings that are overwhelming you right now.
Only you know if you can work thru these problems and stay in your mariage. No one can tell you what to do. That decision is yours. We are here to listen. I wish you luck whatever your decision.
