Thank you for exposing the devastating effects that pornography has on a marriage and family. I can totally relate to this story, my husband of 18 years struggles with porn addiction. After keeping my head in the sand for all these years, I finally am loosing the strength to go on living like this. I want it to end so bad. He says after beeing exposed a couple of weeks ago again (viewing porn at night on phone), he has finally had it and will stop. I don’t believe him anymore, even though I want to. I don’t know how to address this issue anymore, without anger and resentment. I don’t want to break up our family, even though I wish him gone. I feel like I can never trust him again, there has been so many lies and deceit.Years of being caught viewing, lying about it, going to recovery groups,being a leader in it and still viewing porn and having no interest in intimacy with me. I feel so bad for my children, for the lost father and the bad example of marriage we are molding for them. I am so sorry for that. I am a believer and try to find my strength from the Lord, but it’s very difficult, when I am asked to be holy and patient,but feel broken and beaten down from this.

Comment on SEC porns it up. What were they thinking!?! by Michael

Not at all, I appreciate the link. Where to draw the line. I think that varies some from case to case. But I’m not sure why people think that by labeling yourself a sex addict, that it excuses your behavior or somehow gives you a “pass” for behaving badly. For one, that’s not exactly something to go around bragging about. I think most people see it as one step away from being a sex offender (although that’s not accurate, either). But most people I know who are sex addicts in recovery have come to a place of brokenness where they’re finally willing to accept personal responsibility for their actions. Not all, mind you, but most. Those who aren’t truly broken but are hiding behind the disease model label of addiction will fall again, it’s just a matter of time.

I’d say it’s appropriate when you’re moving from being a casual acquaintance to that of a more serious, close friendship, or towards a committed, exclusive relationship.
