    I was wondering if someone may be nice enough to share a story with my husband on how porn has affected their lives and/or marriage/relationship. I feel that he somewhat understands why this is hurting us, but it may be better to hear from someone else. And he isn't one to research a topic like this.
    It would be better if someone could send him an email.
    Thanks!

    This is a great idea. I am inviting him right now to join this website. He does not realize he is hurting you and joining this site will give him such a boost of energy. Most men are caught up in this problem. Tell him to join and I will pm him then. :)

    I don't think he is really open to joining. I feel he is ashamed and embarrassed to really admit anything to anyone but me. My hope is maybe if someone could tell him their story he will more than likely understand better and more willing to join and be able to take this seirously.

    He is 27. Started before the age of 12 with porn, and had watched it regularly ever since. It has really messed our marriage up. He suffers from pied, and has caused him to no longer be sexually attracted to me.

    You need one of the guys who has been through pied and I have not. Try looking up yourbrainonporn their is good information there. Your idea is good but i hope somebody here is willing to write to him for you and tell them their story and how you feel about it all.

    Thank you. I hope so too. I've been on the site and I've let him read the information but I still feel that if he hears it from an actual man in a similar situation and it's directed to him. It could help tremendously.
    I am desperate to get him help. And coming from me, I think it makes me sound like a nagging bitch...and it's not my intention. I just want to help him and help our marriage be healthy again.

    I believe this would really help him understand.

    You can print share my story with him, print it out, or copy and paste it in an email. It's found here. It describes my decent into this addiction with a section on how it has affected my marriage.

    As the wife of an addict that first told me 6 or 7 years ago, but is still struggling with the addiction, I hope and pray you are able to convince him to seek help! I hope he reads the story and that it works. From the wife perspective I wanted to add, please remember to take care of you as well. Counseling helped me tremendously. In my case, I realized I was jumping in to "fix" things and rushing past my own emotions when I found out he was hiding a porn addiction, and then, later, when he relapsed. If you aren't in counseling already, I suggest you do so. The best advice I was given was, if you don't click with a counselor, move on, find a different one. They are human and not every counselor is right for you.
