I am reconsidering my upcoming wedding

Relationship Problems

Here is the short and sweet. I am engaged to be married in a few months to a man I have been living with for 4 years. At the beginning of our relationship, I had an unplanned pregnancy. I had a miscarriage, but we decided to stay together. I was very clear about my not wanting him to be with me out of obligation. He said he wasn't, he really wanted to be with me. Our problem started pretty much immediately after that. He was totally disinterested sexually. We have gone 5, almost 6, months at a time without any sexual activity. While I admit that we have both gotten "comfortable" over the years, I did not at any point decide I was no longer a sexual creature. I have comfronted him about this and he said that he was just older than me (10 years) and wasn't as interested in sex as he used to be. He also said the miscarriage had frightened him so badly that he was terrified of having a repeat. I believed him at first, but now, I keep finding porn on his computer and hidden around the apartment. At first, it was all women. Famous people, amauteurs, pictures, short movies, playboy magazine. the usual stuff. But it made me furious because I was starving for his attention. He had begun treating me as a roomate instead of a girlfriend. I comfronted him, he lied. He said the internet porn must be pop-ups and I was over-reacting. I have let the issue go for a while because I was resigned that all men do this. It is the norm now and I would just have to get used to it. Today, however, I was looking around again and found gay sex site cookies on our computer (shemales, guy on guy, etc.) and an x-rated movie with a predominantly gay "story". I am devestated.
I had always found it strange that 3 of his 4 best friends were gay but I never really pushed it ( even though they don't like me at all ) for fear of being seen as homophobic. I am not the type to jump off the deep end with suspicions, but I know there is something wrong here. I am afraid I am too close to it to figure it out. I wonder if I need to postpone our wedding or if I really am being supersensitive to his "needs". I feel guilty for gaining weight and working so much, like I have caused this. But if I'm honest, he was never that into my pleasure during sex anyway. I've always felt he was with someone else in his head. I had just always assumed that someone else was Jessica Alba. Now I'm not so sure.
I would really appreciate input here. I'm lost.

Thanks

Loss of trust?

Whether he is gay or bi-sexual or just curious we cannot say, and seems less of an issue than the state of things between the two of you. There are secrets and unexplained mysteries here and personally I would not want to commit my future in these circumstances. You are taking a large part of the responsibility for this situation, but I suspect it is equally shared between the two of you. Gaining weight and working hard are not the likely answer to this puzzling behaviour.
Most men can live without porn, particularly if they realise how upset their partner is by it. It is not the norm and you do not have to get used to it. If you read some of the postings on this site which relate to that topic you will see how strongly people feel about it.
When there is porn use and no sex it signals a probable split in the relationship, with loss of intimacy and lack of consideration for the needs of each person equally.
I suggest that the two of you have a talk about what is going on, as your concerns are substantial and need thoroughly addressing.
