What can you do when your husband is addicted to pornography? But don't want to admit it?

I found out not even a week before x-mas that my husband is addicted to pornography what should I do?What can you do when your husband is addicted to pornography? But don't want to admit it?
Why do I strongly doubt that you're using a clinical definition of addiction? Was he diagnosed by a physician or by a mental health professional? If not, you have no basis for saying he's addicted.





But let's say he is. The answer is that you can't do anything about it. That's pretty much the essence of addictions - a true addict has to hit rock bottom and experience for himself the ruin of his life in order to become motivated to get treated for it.What can you do when your husband is addicted to pornography?

Prepare for rough battles ahead and plenty of counseling.





Computer only goes in family room and nowhere else. You get full access to all online credit cards to monitor. The only way to break it is cold turkey and even then there's not much hope. He'll have to want to break it just like any other addiction so you can't make it easy for him to not break it.





The chemicals released in the brain from satisfying this addiction rival any drug out there even without the high. It's tough, very tough. There becomes a progression too as something will no longer do it for him and he has to move onto another level of it, something more than before, freakish, S%26amp;M. Who knows what else, if he's not already there.





If he's not willing, you at some point have to move on because if you don't and by default accept it by not moving on, just enables it.
I don't believe that pornography is an addiction. An obsession maybe, but not an addiction.


That being said, I do believe that an obsession with pornography can have adverse effects on a marriage.


If he is truly that obsessed, than he needs counseling. Better yet, you both need counseling. He is obviously getting something from the pornography that he is not getting from you or his marriage. AND, in no way do I mean that it is your fault. What I meant is that this is something that you are BOTH going to have to work on.


Good luck.
It doesn't sound like your husband is ';addicted'; because if he was you most assurdely wouldn't have ';just found out.'; If he was an addict you would have noticed the pattern of him constantly going to the computer looking at nude pictures and it was disrupt his (and your) life..ie it becomes all consuming.
You can't do anything about his addiction.





';God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (the addict), change the things I can (you control you) and the wisdom to know the difference.';





You don't have to live with it - but you can't control or stop the behavior. Pursuade perhaps...Good luck.
Men like to look at naked women. Is he seeing your naked body? If not this may be why he has turned to porn.





What kind of porn is it? Men, children or farm animals? This is a whole different issue. He needs treatment and you need to get out.





If your sex life has slacked off he may have some unfulfilled needs. This doesn't make him a pig this makes him a man. Men need sex in the same way women need communication to feel closeness with their partner.
Who determined this was an addiction? You? Are you qualified to make that decision? Men in general look at porn. It's what we do. We are visual creatures and love to look at women, naked women are a bonus. My advice is to participate in your husbands fantasies and enjoy your time with him instead of being offended, taking it personal, or trying to change him.

I have had the same problem, checked several websites, the one above is pretty good. They hv a quiz for your spouse to take, mine would not believe his porn was a problem til he took the quiz and now we r working through it. But be careful, if this does not work get prof. help, otherwise he will just become more sneaky.
at least hes not cheating on you with real women. maybe you should watch it with him and tell him to find videos of what he wants to do to you and then you could do it? that wud probably turn him on alot.. dont worry its not the end of the world.. just tell him that your ok with it.. would you rather him be with another woman having an affair????????!!! i wouldnt !
You decide how you want to live. If he doesn't want help and you don't want to live that way, then you should leave him. It will not get better.
If you are denying your husband sex, maybe this is better than him seeing someone else.
Watch it with him. It might turn him on.





What would rather have...him watching porn and pleasing himself or going to other women for the same pleasure but they provide the pleasure he seeks?
