My husband and I have been married for 3 years. I’m a Christian, and my husband says he is too, but I’ve been really struggling with a noticeable increase in my husbands interest in occult/satanic entertainment. His favorite holiday was always Halloween which I didn’t think much of because he didn’t make a big deal while we were dating about it. But I’ve always been vocal about my belief in the demonic. I always thought he agreed because he never said anything contrary when I would speak about it. But I was telling him this morning how convicted I feel that we should no longer watch horror movies involving satanic/demonic plots and how Halloween makes me uneasy. He laughed a few times throughout the conversation at how ridiculous it was and how he’s not giving up Halloween. He also talked about how witchcraft/demonic stuff isn’t real. This felt like a huge blow because it is a huge deal to me (and I’ve been very clear from the beginning that it is). I feel deceived by him because he hid his true beliefs knowing how strongly I felt about it. It hurt even more as he also hid a porn addiction from me when we were married which was another thing I was very vocal about before we even started dating. It just feels like I was manipulated into marriage while he laid low on my known big “deal breakers”. These are all items I would’ve had second thoughts about marrying someone over. How do we deal with such a difference of beliefs?

Is he on board with MB principles? If so, he's violating the PoJA and those are some disrespectful judgements to laugh about your convictions. If he isn't, is he aware that he is making love bank withdrawals?
