    I discovered my husband had continue to lie about his porn use recently. He had previously promised to give it up. He had allegedly completed a NoFap challenge and yet I found porn on his lap top. I also found e books on how to text women, how to get any woman to open her legs, etc. This has been a battle for at least 10 years. I don't know if I should even fight for this marriage anymore. I believe he is my soulmate but he has lied soooooo many times about this. Advice?

    Oh goodness I am so sorry. This is so difficult and I understand your feelings. Have you discussed this with him? If so how did he respond? Is he willing to get help and change?
    If he is motivated to get healthy and commit to your marriage, he will need counselling, you will, and together you will. That would be ideal. He obviously needs accpuntability software installed etc etc.
    If he minimizes what he has done and gets angry with you, then you need to decide if that is how you want to live the rest of your life.

    @Sadgirl my hubby is very computer savvy so I don't believe there is any software he can't get around which is why I haven't asked for it. I'm not sure of my next steps. I'm just crushed. We have 2 kids and 12.5 yrs of marriage.

    I'm so sorry. Did he tell you about it or did you discover it? Did you confront him? What was his response?

    @EyesWideOpen and @Sadgirl I've discovered it at least 5x in the marriage. He always says he is going to quit and he is sorry. I hate the thought of divorce but I can't keep doing this.I'm not sure what will happen. I know a divorce will crush my kids. I don't know what to do. I saw a counselor this week but I don't think she was that experienced with the topic of porn addiction and spouses. The constant lies are worse than the porn.

    I completely understand-very similar to my situation as well. I always thought I knew him and now I look on so much of our history and it was a lie.

    It's tough, for sure. I found it numerous times throughout our marriage as well but never saw it as an addiction. He hid it well. I just figured they were little blood of boredom here and there. It wasn't until D-Day a year ago that I realized there was a lot more to it, and even then I still didn't see an addiction. Then came the trickle down discovery over weeks and months. That's when we both had to face the fact that this was a real addiction. And I will always feel like a fool that never put it all together.

    Most of my memories are colored differently now, both the good ones and the bad. I'm trying to work through this.
