    We had our first baby a just under a year ago and for the first 4 months i did not watch any smut online. I have always wanted to quit since mid 20s (now 33) and as the years passed, i felt more and more shame, regret and a huge hit to my self image when i watch porn online. After the baby, things are still stabilizing for me and the mrs are still getting a hang of parenting and that has caused stress in our marriage with baby and 2 demanding jobs which has caused me to indulge in porn regularly. The longest i have gone so far is a week maybe. Every time there is an argument, i resort to watching and go on binge.

    My huge double standards : I have asked god for forgiveness for this. Last year i caught my wife watching porn and got so hurt. She felt bad about it and we havent spoken about it since then. I cannot judge her when i watch it too but i feel ashamed of having a double standards.

    The four months i went without watching porn after our daughter was born, i was so happy. My self image was so high. I could interact with people much better. When i watch porn i can hardly keep conversation with people and something eats me from within. I dont even know what it is but i can feel it.

    Any positive/tough love advise is welcome.

    Thanks

    You and your wife both seem to resort to porn from time to time. Here is my list of advice if I were in your shoes:

    1.) Both of you need to be open and honest about porn in your lives. Your married and you should be each other's AP and each other's source of sexual satisfaction. I wouldn't want anything else besides my wife if I were married.

    2.) You and your wife need to openly discuss your sexual life and how your relationship has changed since the birth of your new child(Congrats btw!!). Your wife will need time to stabilize and you need to be supporting. Be open and she should come around. After all, women love sex too and want it just as much if not more as men!!

    3.) When, not if, your sex life gets back on track be willing to blow her socks off. How?? Experiment, try new things, find better and different ways to please her, be spontaneous, be romantic, be the young stud she fell in love with who wanted to romance her and rock her world. Remind her of why she chose you and why you're the only person she surrenders herself to you. She had your baby as the ultimate sign of love. Now show her how grateful you are and how amazing of a woman she is!!

    All of these involve being open and honest with each other and yourself. Hope this helps!!
