Husband's addiction

Saphirefly 7 hours ago

Hello!

I recently found out my husband has been addicted to pornography. He had been watching it up to a few times a day and even has spent hundreds of dollars purchasing content while we have been together.

Finding this out has made me feel diminished and like I am not enough for him. I have always wanted to be intimate more frequently than he does and he would often use the excuse he is too tired when I would try to initiate. When finding out he has been watching pornography daily it was devastating as I know from studies it can cause dysfunction in that area. I asked him why he felt the need to do it and he said he does it out of convenience. He said he does not know any of his friends that don't watch it and that he had always done it in relationships.

I just feel betrayed and belittled. I know it's a controversial topic because so many do it but I don't understand how a wife or any woman is supposed to feel comfortable with their significant other watching and looking at thousands of perfect bodied naked women.

I asked him to stop and he said he has. I am just worried he will begin lying about it and be more sneaky. How do I move forward with this and gain back trust to loose this insecure feeling I have now?

Am I overreacting?

Thank you!
