    It doesn't get better - ever. I divorced my porn addict husband five years ago - after 35 years of marriage. Best move I could have made. This weekend he is taking his unmarried 27 year old daughter - struggling to pay he own way through school and hold down a full time job - to the wedding of his 'friend' the ex-stripper whom he got a job as a bartender at his VFW. Oh wait, she is driving him. He originally promised to change the oil in her car and pay her way - however, after buying the 'friend' and company steak dinners and the white suit she insisted he buy.. . Because HE is walking her down the isle ( she has a brother and a teen age son) - he ran out of money and is borrowing from cash for the out of state trip from his proverty sticken daughter who is devastated to watch her dad walk someone else down the isle without so much as a 'Is it OK with you - or how do you feel about it?'
    Back to me - NOW I am back with my high school sweetheart we just bought a house together and I discover that HE is even MORE adicted to PORN! What! I really enjoy sex but once again have no partner. I might be 60, but I still turn heads and have to consider moving on. As much as it sucks to start over yet again, it's a decision I am faced with.

    My point is - don't expect it to get better. Porn addiction is fatal to a relationship. It robs you of your man first, and eventually of your love for him. GOOD LUCK!

    First, this thread is more than a year old.

    Second--sorry your circumstances sucked, but not all people who use porn are addicts. SOME people use porn to relax and find release when they are no longer attracted to a person they're committed to. If it happened to you TWICE, you might look at what those men have in common as a possible answer. (Psst... that would be YOU they have in common).

    People who use porn are NOT always addicts. An "addiction" takes an expert diagnosis, frankly. I do see excessive porn use as a sign that something else is not right in the relationship--but the only thing that can cure THAT is communication.

    This thread is now closed.
