Hello S. Have you considered
Hello S. Have you considered that your husband is addicted to internet porn? In a healthy relationship, both partners are sensitive to behaviors which hurt a loved one. If a behavior is hurting the relationship and a partner has repeatedly and honestly shared the reality of this hurt and pain, why then would the other partner continue to behave in a manner which he KNOWS causes hurt and pain? In a healthy relationship, this would be addressed with compassion and honesty. But if nothing you say or do affects change and the hurt deepens - been there done that.
My partner after years, finally recognized and then recovered from internet porn addiction, yet he continues to be vulnerable to compulsive behaviors, getting sucked in without recognizing the signs, particularly with internet activities. A new episode of another "new" addictive behavior has recently been discovered so now the boundaries are in place, the truth is out and my awareness and determination to survive this latest hell is my focus. This is why I've decided to sign up to this site today.
I highly recommend you visit an excellent site for Porn addiction, support for partners and addicts: http://www.recoverynation.com/
Unfortunately, it is offline until end of Nov - do visit it though and review the notation Jonathan Marsh has left there for visitors. I believe there are still have a few areas to negotiate around in the interm.
I wish you well - once again, it has nothing to do with you - addictions are barriers to intimacy no matter what the addiction / compulsive behavior. Sad but true. Good luck.
