Claire Dalton dumped her fiance just before the wedding, because he watched porn Source: facebookAnd the internet is not happy
Claire Dalton thought she’d met the man of her dreams, after meeting a man, falling in love and spending six months with a diamond ring on her finger.
But in the week leading up to her big day with the man she’d built a four year relationship with, Claire found an unforgivable truth about her soon to be husband.
Something so devastating it was like “someone had taken a dagger and fiercely pierced it” into her heart.
This truth? Well, the guy liked to watch porn.
Bombshell.
Posting online to Facebook group ‘Love What Matters’, Claire started her 1860 words of heartbreak declaring she was “that girl” who allowed love to blind her from the truth.
“I’m THAT girl that spent 6 months with a ring on her finger,” she wrote. “That girl that planned an entire wedding, only to find out a week prior it was all a lie.”
Her partner had been looking for porn just hours before she picked up the phone, and had “multiple windows open of sick and twisted ideas of what women supposedly look like.”
“I felt sick to my stomach,” Claire admitted.
“The coldest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my entire life is the lying eyes of the man I love, gazing deep into my soul as multiple lies rolled from his lips.
“He knew it was all a lie, but for some reason, he could look at the woman he claimed to love so dearly straight in her eyes, and lie to her face.
“I never knew until that moment how unconsciously cold a single person could be.”

“I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted to kick and punch the wall,” she wrote.
“But in that moment, I felt paralysed. I had a sudden frightening sensation of someone grasping at my neck as if someone or something was attempting to suffocate me to my death.
“I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. Everything felt lonely. Everything reminded me of him.
Everything made me feel overwhelmingly sick to my stomach. I felt traumatised. I felt worthless. And I felt incredibly afraid.”
Claire’s post gathered thousands of reactions from social media users, many of whom slammed the young woman for dropping her fiance for watching porn.
“She doesn’t want people judging her but she just judged everyone who doesn’t believe in God,” one person wrote.
“He saw porn. She cancelled their wedding. One of those is a massive over-reaction.''
''Hint: not his,” another added.
“Despite her Bible thumping, she clearly does not understand how the concept of forgiveness works,” one woman questioned.
Claire, who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), says her religion brings her great joy and happiness. And while thousands disagreed with her decision to leave her partner — and her views on love — she saw no other solution.
“One thing I want to point out is that true love does not and cannot exist unless it is governed by God’s law,” Claire wrote.
Addressing the wedding, which 300 people had received an invitation to, Claire said her ex-fiance’s porn addiction hadn’t just ruined his life — but also the lives of those around him.
“We already had over 300 invitations to our wedding sent out … we had to call every single one of those people and tell them what happened to inform them the wedding was off,” she wrote.
“Pornography addiction does not just affect you. Pornography addiction affects the people around you, and it’s only so long before the truth is going to come out.
“There are hundreds of statistics on how harmful pornography is on the brain, relationships, and the world.''
