    My SO and I have been through it all when it comes to porn. The fights. The lies. The hiding shit. The PIED. One time he couldn't finish with me (before I knew about his addiction) so we went to get ready for our day. A little while later he called me into the bedroom. I went in and he was about to O and wanted me to drop to my knees and take it. The table was sitting there with porn blasting. I was devastated. We have been through counseling and have had an epic battle. I wanted to walk away so many times. Getting to my point. Fast forward a year. If he is being honest he is 6 months with no PMO. All sites are blocked on his iPhone and tablet. And supposedly since our last big blow up, he as not done anything. However, here I am, and I still obsess every day about it. I still wonder all the time. He admitted a long time ago that photos of women on social media would be a trigger for him. He would get turned on by them, then look up porn. He has gotten rid of everything except fb due to him being military and wanting to stay in contact with his former guys. I have learned though, there is porn on fb. There is porn on youtube. It's everywhere. Even if I'm on my own page and something pops up I get upset. My question to him lately has been about if he sees a fb post, how does he deal with it, and how does it not trigger him. His answer is "it just doesn't anymore, I just move on"
    But I don't know how to stop obsessing. Little things trigger me. Sex scenes on tv. Even with no nudity. Pictures. Other women. I never was like this before. I was always confident. Now I question everything and I cannot figure out how to let go and move on. I just keep thinking it's only a matter of time.... is there anyone out there who has beat this and their relationship survived??? If so please help me.

    I used to make lists.
    Co-dependency is a real condition that affects others in the addicts circles of influence. My wife was an active alcoholic over 30 years ago. I used to make lists, and often could not sleep worrying about her drinking. I read a book that I think is out of print, but should be available on the used market by Ruth Maxwell entitled Breakthrough. (https://www.amazon.com/BREAKTHROUGH-Alcoholism-Chemical-Dependency-Close/dp/0345319567) The book has some good encouragement for the codependents in an addicts life. My wife did get the help she needed and we have survived over 30 years. We did it with faith and with the strong doctrines of forgiveness found in Christianity.
    I hope and pray that you can find the answers and the strength that you need.

    Be Strong My Friend.
