07/26 Extreme Sex Differences

Quote From: adams72282

I have been married for almost 5 years now and have 3 children with my husband and he is addicted to porn. I know how she feels because I feel the same way. My husband is addicted to the point that he has looked at it and even relieved himself in the same room as2 of our children while they were "watching a movie"(they are 3 and 1).I have had to put parental controls on his internet account to keep him from doing something that I don't know about. It is one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. Can it be fixed? Yes! My husband has been recovering for at least a year now. Does he slip up? Of course(like when he did it in front of our children, Which I almost divorced him over).But the relapses get further apart. Something that people need to think about is that some people do this for other reasons. Like my husband was sexually abused by a man from the time he was 3 until he was 15 or 16. These things play a HUGE roll in his porn addiction, and is the only reason that we are still together.If you have the patience to stand by someone who suffers from this, you can do it. He doesn't mind having the parental controls on his account because it helps him to stay away from it. He has no problem with me seeing his e-mail or knowing where he goes online. That is what lets me know that he really wants to change, And gives me the strengh to stick with it and help him get better.
I feel so sorry for you.  You are wearing blinders!  You cannot help your husband "get better".  He is a sexual addict, you will not change him.  I have been in the same position as you, lived and loved a sexual addict.  My ex destroyed my self esteem.  I would love to be able to love again, but along with love comes trust and I don't know if I will ever trust another person.  I pray for you and your children.  A sex addict is just that, a sex addict.  Will he turn into a pediphile????  Or is he already?  You have small children, you are responsible for those lives.  Do you really think that what he is doing does not influence them?  I pray that he does not molest them.  Or for that matter, any other children.  Please, just remember, who he sleeps with, you sleep with.  That is the one thing that finally made my decision to divorce my ex.  He was a Preacher also.  That should say something.
