What I cant understand in this world - its ok for men to look at porn and get off but its not ok for them to actually have an affair/sex with someone real. The pornography issue can be a fundamental difference between two people. It arises to some extent in almost every marriage I know. But it's one which might have some sort of compromise possible......somewhere in the gap between "I'll watch porn all I want, when I want" and "Never ever look at it ever you pervert." I have been exactly where you are and didn't believe this then, but I fully believe it now. You might think about seeing a marriage counselor and finding where that compromise lies for you two. It will require you both to meet somewhere in the middle - but you may be happier for it. |

No, he didnt want me to know for sure because he knew how I would react. He did this selfishly and cunningly trying to hide it. I suspected something was wrong and looked for it and found it of course. Strange thing though, since this has happened I have no desire for him and the thought of sex with him freaks me out. On the other hand he has become jealous (figure that one out) of any attention I get from other men. To say, he did this because I wasnt putting out actually makes things feel worse. I have always been the one who made the effort, when I stopped, nothing much happened. When I questioned him about that, he told me it was because he never knew what I wanted?????? AFter 14yrs, heck Im feeling very inadequate, stupid and betrayed. Yep, I thought Ok blame myself again for his actions, something I did or havent done again. To say the least, Im over it. |

I feel comfortable saying that when porn is being used and no real sex is occurring, yeah, it's a problem. But this is a triggery issue for me, so I guess I could be overly sensitive? |
I guess it's a generational thing (I'm in my 20s) but I just cant fathom equating porn with cheating, or, as OP put it, assuming that my partner "prefered other men." It just seems preposterous to me. If my girlfriend told me I was cheating on her because I looked at porn I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. I'd probably give her a hug because it is kind of cute in a way. |
Cobra you must be a male, in your twenties, oh yeah, duh? |
IN MY OPINION .... *g* when ANYONE ... does ANYTHING ... and covers it up, cunningly hides it ... theres something wrong =- and they know it. they're feeling guilty... and no amount of shouting that they are open about their adventures... their ACTIONS are their TRUTH. The ONLY exception to this is - people who donate HUGE sums of money and nobody knows who they are. which is inarguably.... far fewer than the people hiding their pornographic preferences. |
