Consenting sex involving somebody unmarried:
sexual intercourse between two consenting adults who are not married to each other
Sexual intercourse between a man and woman who are not married, or any form of sexual behaviour is immoral (source: The Holy Bible)
The Bible:
Mar 10:11 - 12
And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
Mat 5:27 - 32
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.
"It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Heb 13:4
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

The picture before marriage: devout Christian, Christ is the foundation of our household, outspoken against porn, fornication (his previous marriage was ended without his choice, he claimed, and it was years before we met so I did not see our marriage as adultery. It is my 1st marriage.) 3 years later: he admits he has been actively addicted to porn, gambling and substances the past 20+ years, and had sexual affairs while exposing me to the repurcussions of his behaviour. Do I commit adultery if I divorce him?
Dear Anonymous. God is a loving and caring God and most certainly understands our trials. Jesus came to set us free; free...Jesus will most certainly understand if you divorce. In fact that is one of the only reasons you 'may divorce'. that aside, u must forgive your husband of his sins, this u may not want to hear right now but there is no difference in your sins nd those of his. Yes I understand the 'type' of sin. I honestly do but for some reasons we decided that addictions - especially porn is more serious than gossiping and overeating and therefore we justify 'our own sin', but sin is sin. no difference in God's eyes. what I am getting at is to rather encourage u 2 seek help for your husband and some sort of councelling because u most certainly can get through this. with God all things are possible and He can set ur husband absolutely fee from all addictions. HOPE is a very powerful thing God gave us. all the best!
