Quote From: luvmiman1

I am not judging you....it sounds more like I am the one being judged here.  And this is typical....the come back of "everything else is so rosey".... 

  

I don't know where you live.  But there has to be answers out there.  There always are somehow.  It is an abusive relationship.....even if other things are "ok".   

I understand he may not have done this when you met him.....did it start after having all three kids? 

  

Do I think it's wrong for a married man to send another man's wife porn emails?  Of course I do....that's when you click on "block" that person and then they can't do it any more.  They will get the message.  Or better yet, call them up and tell them not to do it anymore, that you don't find it funny at all. 

  

If he didn't 'use' before...exactly when did he start and have you asked him or even told him to what extent this is hurting how you feel about him?  And do you plan on having any more of his children? 

  

Luv  

I have done all I can do from my side. explained how it makes me feel, 

begged him , pleaded, threatened to kill myself or walk away you name it I tried it . 

he started @ age 18 we met about 9 years later and he then hid it from me . his good at hiding things from me and it hurts so bad . 

 I can't have any more kids. I only have 2 with him . the eldest is from a previously relationship.

Hi there

Quote From: darcylove

Can I ask you where you live? You don't have to answer but just wondering. 

  

It really sucks sometimes that life doesn't give us the bed of roses we thought we would get when we marry the man we love. I completely understand that feeling of loving someone so much and still hating him for the things he does. I guess it is all about knowing underneath all the bad stuff....there is someone we see who is really a wonderful person. 

  

You know...I am here just about each day. (maybe a few I am not) And maybe this is just the place for now that you can come and find some answers. If you haven't done so already....print off everything you can about sexual addiction. Print off similar stories like yours and share with him that it isn't you. And go to COSA and see if you can find a place to get some help for yourself.  Take care! And I will be praying for you today. 

 in the lovely , sunny RSA. 

Thanks for the offer . It gets realy lonely here. all his friends  

say your not a man if you don't watch porn or let your wife tell you what to do. 

thats the wonderful way of the Boer. 

the wives place is to shut up , obey and jump at any command that he gives. 

you dare not speak your mind or your a disgrace to your hubby. 

they don't care if his one to you or not. 

my hubby is 100% Boer and me , well I'm 50 % that and 50 % English. 

and that doesn't make a good pare . 

I really do love him but the trust is gone and as you say . I do hate him at the same time.. 

I have learned the hard way that its possible to love & hate 1 person at the same time

100% man

Quote From: allinall

  There is a difference between understanding the why of something and defending *it*. The understanding of why can lead to resolution if one wants to resolve. If one does not want to resolve and only wants to *win* there is no point in understanding now is there.

There are many women who do not want to hear that we men do get stressed and being men we have a few natural choices to relieve that stress. None of those choice are emotional. We don't (usually) sit down and cry about it and it all passes away. We translate that stress relieve into physical action. We take it out on something and even sometimes someone when they get in our way. If we can find a pleasureable way to (physically) relieve it we will. That's why a lot of men are such sports fanatics.

Don't women want men to understand how and why they feel? Why should women think be any different. We want women to understand our how and why. Usually though women want us to remain this rock. This impervious barrier that will always support and nothing getting through it.  I can tell you I gave up my big red S long ago because it got tiring always fighting against the same stupid stuff because doing the same stupid stuff was easier than changing it.

My point being don't kick a gift horse in the teeth if you are looking for resolution. If you don't want to understand the why and just want to be right then you are headed on the right path.

I'm not trying to dispell your situation at all.  I'm just saying if all anyone is wanting the opposite sex to see, think, feel and act the same way as the same sex, stay away from the opposite sex.

thats all its about for you men its not ? 

you'd rather rip your partners heart out tear it apart and destroy her whole  

being then just buy a punching bag and get rid of stress that way , hey ? 

typical!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

any way it ain't about stress at all , you all just can't admit that you have an addiction . 

you say we want you to be a rock . well, thats not what  we want ,thats what you want.!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

all of you are so scared that your dear old ego should ever be damaged that you never  

stop to think about the damage you do to the one person you supposedly love with your life. 

 so then you tell me ; if you love your partners so much , how come you men just can't wait to break them down and destroy them ??????????? 

ALL MEN ARE THE SAME !!!!!!!!!!!!

OK!

Quote From: luvmiman1

Listen, I totally understand your anger, but not everyone out here is out to hurt your or harm your marriage.  The words put down on this board are not directly a reflection of your personal situation or experiences.  Until you know about someone else's experience how can you judge them to be the same as everyone else?  You can't.  It's just that simple. 

  

I don' t think anyone here wants to inflict more pain into you....but there are ways to help resolve some issues pertaining to this...and sometimes just being able to watch and see how others have dealt with things in the past helps.  If nothing else, let this place be somewhere you can vent and get some of that anger out.... 

  

What you will find with Allinall, is that he can make some sense out of a man's thoughts and prespectives on this subject....and you actually seeing the "other side" might empower you to learn better ways of dealing with this very thing.  Think about that. 

  

Luv 

I get what you are saying but at least 3 of my close friends are going through the same and all of the men give the same old argument. if he can shed light then fine I'll be all too happy to finally understand ! they say we are the more complex of the sexes but they totally understate them selves. 

all I ever wanted is some one to love me as is and to be trust worthy and faithful. and I got the opposite. 

I didn't mean ti offend any one just trying to get to the real reason men can live without their wives but not without porn. 

so to whom ever took offense of what I said earlier on , I am truly sorry.

Sorry !

Quote From: allinall

 Well I guess that's the end of then isn't it.

Oh by the way, you say you live in country where whites can't get jobs. How does that feel? to be discriminated against for something you can't help. For soemthing that is a natural as life itself to you. Discrimination is the same whether it be race, creed, color or religious affiliation...and sex. It's from NEEDING others to be exactly the same way as *yourself* and those the same as *yourself*.

You are right that attitudes can be changed when it comes to hurting someone else, speaking of men and how they treat their wives, just like they can be changed in how *we* treat others different from ourselves no matter what that difference is. Just think about why the none whites are treating whites in the job market for what is not the whites fault. The attitude of color difference should be altered. It's just that the none whites have to change their attitude. The whites can't change it without the none whites deciding their attitude is not right. As long as each is ready, willing and able to keep up the battle, the battle will continue.

I really do sorrow for your difficulty. I really do. AND I sorrow for the hurt you feel so deeply that you see no other way out than to fight off any attempt that does not support the fight you want to continue.

I wish you well and peace.

about the things I said to you !Its not your fault that people  here are close minded ! 

they say there's peace in my country and all are so pleased about us being accepted in the rest of the world. I have never been a racist . in fact I'm very sad  as my best friend for the last 8 years , the only one I could trust and talk to , was black . and now she's gone . she died last Sunday by me and I discovered her body so I'm not a happy chappy right now. My hubby's addiction is just that a attitude that needs adjustment. His male friends think your not a man if you don't do it. 

they don't care if they hurt their wives or not ! mine wasn't like that until they got hold of him ! 

they believe how can some thing you can't touch affect you marriage? 

well, it does !!! his friends aren't shy of their problem. but when they brag you can see the hurt in their wives faces. they just don't care !!!and they brag about their fantasies that they force their wives into actualizing. luckily mine hasn't gone that far yet ! 

once again sorry for attacking you and please if you have any advice please feel free to give it. 

I'm desperate to save whats left of my marriage.

woman have equal rights here and can do every thing men do. but its peoples mind frames that put the limit here. the Afrikaners are raised that the men are the boss and the woman must obey no matter what . even if he is unreasonable. my mom taught me to never let a man sit on my head and to be my own person .to stand up for what I know is right and believe me I do no matter what it costs. 

but his friends put me down and can't accept me for who I am. and only now is he starting to support me on that one usually they would degrade me 'cause of that and he'd leave them to it but now he is starting to stand up for me and by me. 

but the Afrikaners believes are still very strong .

Quote From: darcylove

You wrote " fact I'm very sad  as my best friend for the last 8 years , the only one I could trust and talk to , was black . and now she's gone . she died last Sunday by me and I discovered her body " 

  

What happened to your friend? How did she die? You said she died by you and then you said you discovered her body? What does that mean? 

she was visiting me . and I discovered her in the one bedroom ! 

she had cancer. no one knew how far the cancer was as she didn't have a medical aid and in this country if you don't have that your as good as dead ! the government hospitals don't care about the patients  and they are in a terrible state. 

the private hospitals if you don't have a medical aid you must pay upfront . and that can cost any thing from R1500,00 per day witch roughly works out  9750 US dollars per day ! and thats at a cheaper hospital then most.

Sounds fimiliar !

Quote From: darcylove

Well we went to this big dinner thing with the family......and I am glad it is over. The whole trying to one up everyone over and over is difficult. The funny thing is....most of us see it...hate it but yet it happens. It was annoying from the get go because my husband and I showed up about 20 minutes before we were scheduled to arrive and asked about a reservation....none had been made. We started counting and expected up to 21 people to arrive but no one made any plans for us to eat at this busy resaurant. So although we were to eat at 6:30 ....we had to wait forever to get seated. Then.....finally as we all got seated...the one up each other started. It gets really old when family has to put each other down to feel better about oneself. 

  

Well as I said...that is over at least until Thanksgiving.....I told my husband I have learned to tune it all out. (as a matter of fact my kids and husband had to tell me half the things that were said)  I probably look like I have no clue what is going on around me because I just hear "Blah...blah...blah...blah..." when we are together. In one and out the other. (sometimes I don't even think it goes in) It works for me....I think I will just keep doing that. 

the last few days (since Friday ) have been so interesting to me. 

I never knew that the problems I'm having are just as concerning every where els ! 

what is the whole idea any way ; how come we always have to be better then others ? 

every time I see family its the same thing over and over again. always having to prove  

your self to every one . I mean what for ? they're no better then the rest of us any way ? they might seem to be but at the end of the day they all have problems . they all have flaws - they just seem to cover them up better. the only person that really matters is your self . you are working hard at what you have and trying to make a difference in life and all of you are . I have gotten some very good advice from you all. and I don't feel so alone any more. and its all 'cause of you.  

thanks a lot !!!
