What Should I do???(about his porn addiciton)

Internet Porn Addiction

I know my story is not much different from most of the stories here, but I really need to get advice.

I’m expecting our second child in 6 months, I caught my husband looking at girl on girl porn sites about two years ago then he stopped, we moved into our new home over a year ago and we had another single guy living with us and he was big into his porn so it looks like my husband picked it up again.

It got so bad it started to affect our sex life or should I say what sex life!!! Our marriage was almost over middle of last year but I took sometime off with my son to see some friends of ours over sea, but things go better and he said it was all over. When I found out I was pregnant he was so happy, he has been nothing but the best husband it the world but the thing is our sex life still has not improved so I had to ask how was he dealing with the porn problem and he told me it was all over and he does not look at it anymore.

But I was on his computer the other day and want into the recycling bin and I found over 6 files of girl on girl porn…. What am I suppose to do?????
He was even the one saying we should start going to church cos we need to be closer as family and he has been so wonderful, I’m starting to think it all a show???…

Have you considered...

your sex life may not have improved much because subconsciously your "head" is hurt. It's pretty hard to turn the voices of your mind off to enjoy all that sex has to offer if you feel like he's violated the trust of your relationship with the lie that it's all over and done with. you've been violated and women don't get over these things easily. It's likely inhibiting you from fully enjoying the whole sexual exp with him. In your head your saying, "If he lies about that... then what else?"...on and on you head takes you many ugly places.

women tend to sugar coat how bad it is...but in your case it sounds mild and at least he's not talking to other women for sex, having actual physical sex with others, ONLY an affair of the eyes. Don't get me wrong the eye thing can be just as painful and distructive.
My advice (from experience) be sure not to hold your hurt in, tell him what bothers you right away. Asking this man to give it up for your sake and for the kids would likely be more successful now. Don't delay with tolerance to this...in my case it just snowballed into more and more viewing hours and a hellish existance for me (lose of self esteem, bad feelings, comparing, hurt, anger, resentment... you know the rap). nip it and nip it NOW...if that's even possible. In my pesimistic veiw more men porn up than don't... sounds like you have a pretty good one there. In your case FIX WHAT YOU'VE GOT... might be the best path. Share this website with him so he can read the pain of other women echoing the same concerns you have...maybe a light will go on.

focusing on porn does not equal fireworks for women, quite the opposite. You'd think these guys could figure out what an incredable TURN OFF it is to us. If they want more sex...porn is NOT the path. Genius' Be happy, it sounds mild only 6 files... my husband has over 1,339 folders and a 30-40 hour a month habit. Darn box!

Happy baby....he loves you, he's thrilled to have a baby with you... wants church... gez... most of us would trade our problems. I wouldn't wish mine on anyone. Best to you all... :)

I agree.

I agree.
As long as he isn't replacing you with porn, everything is ok.
It's one thing for him to check out porn online evry now and agian; it's totally another thing for him to be turning to it for constant sexual gratification- instead of to you.

Do you think he has an addiction?
Figure this out first. If he does, then it's up to him to get rid of it.
If he's just looking on occasion, let him have his fun.
If you feel second to his stash- let him know.

No girl should feel second to her guy's porn. What kind of a guy will turn down a happy and willing human female, for something he can't even touch?
You need to talk to him.

I don't think he is

I don't think he is replacing me with the porn, I have not been feeling well with me been pregent and all. I have had a chat with him and he said he is trying hard not too do it and had asked for my help to work with him through this...

I do not think he is addicted to the porn then again I can't be sure as I can't always see if he is looking at it or not...

You are very right no one should feel second to "porn" and I am making sure this does not happen in my life...

Once again thank you so much for your advise..

Hmmm

I have to be honest with you i never quite know what to say when you get posts like this. Every man and woman has a different attitude towards porn. There are a lot of people that are more than happy to treat it as a harmless bit of fun and a way to know yourself sexually which isn't a bad thing. Most men, and women, look at porn on a regular or semi regular basis so try not to feel like your husband is dirty and he's the only one that does it.
Try not to feel that he's comparing porn to you either because he won't be. I don't think that your relationship will improve while you are in a way, expecting him to feel guilty about using porn. It will make him feel down and it will make you feel down about yourself thus decreasing your sexual enjoyment together.
Especially during a pregnancy, there are many times when us women don't feel up to it and it isn't exactly fair to expect our partners to be 100% celebate for 8 months!!
What sort of porn does he view? Is it just your run of the mill porn or is it involving disturbing things, like children?
At least your partner is looking at porn and not leaving the house to go and sleep with other women, please bear this in mind.
Compared to what some women suffer in a relationship i think dealing with porn should be a relatively minor issue despite the fact that some women find it difficult to cope with it.

I thank you for your reply,

I thank you for your reply, he is not into bad porn only the girl on girl thing.. We are working through it at the moment...

How my husband got over his addiction

Hi,
