I think there's a poor understanding of what eternity will be like. First and foremost, the Terrestrial and Telestial kingdoms are utterly amazing. Happiness beyond our imagination. The Celestial is far better, but I don't think those in the Terrestrial and Telestial will be living in regret for eternity. We go where we are most comfortable, based on the choices we make in our life. If an heir to the Telestial kingdom, for example, were brought into the Celestial kingdom, he would be happier in outer darkness than being in the presence of God while unworthy. God is actually doing them a favor by sending them to lesser kingdoms. Outer darkness is just separation from the Godhead. The Telestial Kingdom has the presence of the Holy Ghost. The Terrestrial has the presence of both Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. The Celestial has the presence of the whole Godhead. Outer darkness would be separation from all good and love, but even so, it is better than the hell most Christians envision. The heirs to outer darkness will be relatively miserable, but even they would choose it over true "death" in an eternal sense (if it existed, which it doesn't), I guarantee. God's plan is perfect. It is perfectly fair. He puts us all where we'd be the most happy, no matter what we've done. P.S. I can't wait until I'm resurrected!

Was quite helpful, thanks! If exaltation is a given, then I don't need to be concerned about how their marriages work.

I'm sort of confused about people who get resurrected early to become Angels. Those who aren't married can only be Angels. If they weren't married, and no marriage is given to resurrected beings, is their eternal potential limited solely because they were resurrected early? Normally if someone didn't get married in their mortality, they would have other opportunities, but this is not so for those with early resurrections. The only thing that would make sense to me is that anyone who was resurrected early already was already married. Is that the case? Perhaps they are just angels for the time being and can still progress further when their wives get resurrected also? Or maybe their wives already are resurrected?! Looking for some thoughts!

Correlation does not imply causation. I think you need to look at it differently: Child molesters are more likely to be pornography addicts. Pornography addiction may help bring out the child molester in the potential child molester, but looking at anyone with a pornography addiction as a child molester is a horrible habit. The huge huge majority of people with pornography problems look at child molesters just the same as we do. Pornography doesn't turn a regular person into a child molester. It is an addiction to lust, and that lust can fuel someone who was already having disgusting thoughts to take action. That is all, change your outlook, fast. :) As for rochphoto: Divorce him. It may seem right for people to tell you to try and honor your covenant, that is normally the right advice. It doesn't apply to you, though, because you dishonored that covenant before you even made it. The transgression is done. Marriage is supposed to be sacred. The sanctity was ruined before it even began. Keep in mind that God wants us to be happy. He expects people to honor their marital covenants, but he also expects people to marry someone they truly can and do love. Get a divorce, find happiness. Don't ever take a covenant with God so lightly again. Your kids will be fine if you love them the way you need to. My mother was in a situation very similar to yours, in that she wasn't in love with my father and felt pressured into the marriage. They got divorced and are both very happy and were fantastic parents after the divorce. My father got remarried in the temple, and my mother has a fiance. God does not want us to spend an eternity with someone we cannot love as a husband/wife. Only after finding that person we can love is the sanctity and honoring of marriage supposed to come into play. You need to make it work between you and the person you love. You don't need to make it work between you and the person who almost repulses you. Staying in that marriage is in itself a sin. It's leading to the ruin of both of you. I hope everyone understands the difference between making a marriage work and prolonging something that should never have happened. The covenant was broken from the beginning, you won't break it again with divorce. Pray long and hard about everything, faithfully. There are very real and tangible blessings from God. He knows EXACTLY what you are feeling and the options you are choosing. He knows every thought in your mind and hears your prayers. Divorce him, repent heavily, live happily. :) And yeah, what everyone else said: Don't you dare do this to yourself or anyone else again. P.S. You haven't wasted your life. You may not realize it now, but your entire life on this Earth isn't an atom in the Sun of your lifetime. You have an eternity to spend with a husband you'll really love. Go find that husband.
