sure. :)

a thread kicked up from North Hollywood, one post, etc. :)

but back towards the start . . . while the right next door in the same bed is creepy . . . would you not just say, "Need a hand with that?" :)

[QUOTE=ShootingStar1;3823666]My experience with my alcoholic, porn addicted husband ended very badly. My husband was an abusive controlling alcoholic who added porn to his mix of addictions.

It escalated rapidly and badly.

.. listen to what shooting star said... and be mindful of what BFs attitude is.
When he is getting angry for being caught with porn.. is it because you are in an angry upset mood.. or is it him just getting super angry? Is he accusing you and blaming you, etc. Is he unable to perform sexually without porn?

There are ways to check to see if he is becoming sexually addicted...

My ex husband was a porn addict and he could not function with a real woman after a while. He completely ignored me for many years.... not sure the real reason.. was he punishing me, unable to get excited without some strange fantasy... I don't know. But it was lonely.

So try being very calm... but very aware. SLAA has a lot of info on this.. educate yourself and maybe you can figure out if he just wants to have a release without much work .... or if it is really addiction. Also ... does he have a generally avoidant personality.. or is he communicating well with you in general.. It is hard to address this taken out of context of the whole relationship.
