Marriage continued to disintegrate to separation (lots of emotional/verbal abuse, aggression toward children, disregard in the marriage bed for consideration of dislikes), and backsliding to alcohol and over-buying things in spite of marriage friction on it
Separation for four years, continued abuse, and was never reconstructed to a marriage
Divorce filed by spouse who had been using pornography
That spouse remarried (since the other party was not willing to reconcile)
Is the spouse left unmarried able to marry <<< this spouse was not unfaithful?

Love keeps no record of wrongs.
Lets start with that.
You're trying to go on a forum and condense nigh near 20 years of a dysfunctional sounding relationship with many complications and hanging it all on the question of whether the "innocent" spouse can marry.
This kind of thing...its never just about one persons porn addiction.
There are always deeper issues at work.
God is not taking sides in this other than a desire that those that are in sin and bondage be reconciled back to Him.
