Thank you so much! And at first I was deeply offended and hurt, but then I realized that the enemy is everywhere even on this Christian site there are wolfs dressed as sheep. Thank you for you kind words and reassuring me that God is always the answer. And congrats! I'll pray for you to have a safe delivery and a healthy baby :) God bless!

GodGoesOn,

I suggest that you tell him how you stumbled onto the porn; and tell him that you feel more hurt than angry.

Ask him why he feels you are not meeting his needs.Tell him that even if his words don't say that you don't meet his expectations; his actions do say exactly that.

Re: My Marriage

Ah, so you are taking that route, gotcha! YOU posted and asked for SOUND ADVICE, and plenty of people offered up their advice, as you requested..and now, because it does not actually follow your line of thinking, you label it "CRITICISM"...gotcha...how preposterous! Whatever happened to COMMON SENSE? Do you honestly believe that JESUS CHRIST smiles down on your decision to YOKE with someone who definitely has issues that confuse your life? Do you run to the internet for every ailment and decision you make? What about taking this to your heavenly Father, first? What? You got no instant response that you could rebuttle? GOD did not hear you? You want sympathy, pity or what from the world about your past decisions? Get deep into JESUS CHRIST and the HOly Spirit, who is your Comforter, not the internet. But, how do I do that? you may ask? Study the BIBLE, ask the Holy Spirit to help interpret it to your life. Join a holy spirit filled church that will encourage and help you grow so that you can return the favor. When sound spiritual advice is offered to you..never see it as CRITICISM..see it as a life changing agent.

You can tell me that I haven't tried and am not trying to listen to God but only He knows how hard I have been trying and if I were to tell you that no matter how mad I have been with my husband I continued to treat him as if he deserved it would you say that I'm a fool...? Is That not what Jesus did for us on the cross? Do you really believe that God would want to see us raise our child up to a un married pair of parents? Instead of a pair of parents who will fight through whatever the cause? And if you really think that there are women out there who find a isssue free husband before they got married? Well let me bet that if that's so there was MANY hidden issues after they got married I took him as he was as Jesus would and you call Me a fool? Does the Lord not know of your "issues" and still love you unconditionally?? I do not want your pity or your sympathy I simply wanted sound advise on whether I should tell him before or after our honeymoon but people payed attention to my lifestyle and so called "mistakes" more than the simple question I was trying to get out so I must admit that I added more detail than needed and brought this on myself but I did not ask you any of the questions that you answered to. Jesus died knowing that we are undeserving sinful people, he did it willingly and knowingly so are you saying that God does not want me to act as Jesus? Now of course I'm nowhere near perfect but with Christ in me I can manage to Love unconditionally. And do you think God looks down and smiles on your decision to assume my actions and snap at me before asking me? and just so you know I have a wonderful Church Family I know the Lord I've been saved I've been reading the bible and praying I just thought maybe I could get a little support and opinions from my brothers and sisters in Christ. So thanks for the so called "advise" but you never answered the question I asked.

I recently got married ( May 2nd ) and I found out two days before the wedding he had been watching porn ( again ) after he had told me this huge confessional story as to why he "use" to do it and what he had been doing to avoid it. I 100% believed his word until I stumbled across it again... I haven't mentioned it to him yet because I don't want to ruin our honeymoon (tomorrow)... but I'm wondering if I should've mentioned it the night I found out or am I doing the right thing?
This was the original post. The mods posted all my other ones to this instead of deleting them, I kept posting the other because people kept saying " your better to post it here"

hi, was reading your post. Its a hard situation. and telling you that the choices you made in the past should have been different will not help you in the present. I think maybe you can search for your own boundaries in marriage and how you feel and what kind of behavior is going over your boundaries. I know that there is a similar example in the book boundaries by cloud/townsend, of maybe in the book boundaries in marriage. i'm not sure.
i know it makes a woman feel dirty when her husband is watching porn and makes a woman unsure about herself. also the porn industry is covered with darkness and not at all innocent.
i also know that its very difficult to get out of this addiction. so i really don't want to judged anyone. its a hard road for you both and i'll pray that you both will find healing and comfort and wisdom by our Father

I think 99% of men are not surtisfireble. I think this is a problem that many women need to learn living with it.cos you can think to live him,but unless u remain single forever cos the next one might be the same. Me too i found my husbd watching them i felt bad but what can i do, if a man is unsurtisfible even if u give him moon he'll never change.thats why i keep on saying a real trusted man is only Jesus.

I'm sorry you've had this experience, but this excuses her husband when he should be accountable for his actions that hurt his marriage.

We should not make compromise with the devil just because "everyone else is doing it."

Your husband has a problem with porn, like most men, they want to quit, but the internet is so easily accessible, it is extremely hard for men to quit.

You and he need to address this problem together, he has to want help in order for it to be effective. You can Google it as well, there are many sites with helpful tips.

The problem with porn, is men try to deal with that problem on their own, they do NOT confess one to another as they should, therefore because they try to deal with the porn problem their own self, it is very rare that they succeed. You knowing about your husbands problem is big plus. Now both of you can work on it together.

Whenever i get an email from men who have porn problems, i tell them that i can help them, but they have to do what i tell them to do, step by step. When they agree to do it in order to get help from porn addiction, this is what i first tell them to do:

1) TELL YOUR WIFE.

Then it is rare i hear back from them again. In order to get over the porn problem, one must be held accountable for their actions. If the wife knows there is a problem, she can and should keep tabs on her husband. The husband should agree to parental controls on internet, should agree to the wife monitoring his internet activity, they will agree to do this, if they know they have a problem and the wife is only trying to help.

Now advise to you. Do not take it personally. Your husband is in bondage to porn, its not because you are less desirable, it is not because he does not want you sexually. Anyone who is addicted to porn wants to see more and more, it is never quenched, there is always something NEW out there to see and be turned on by. Many who have porn addiction, feel guilty about having sex with their own wives, because they have to visually imagine porn to accomplish Love making. They have a problem, it is NOT YOU. If you start thinking it is YOU, it will only hinder the healing. Realize that it is a disease and he needs your support and help, NOT your jealousies, NOT your looking down on him, NOT your disappointment. He needs your help, your support to get healed from this, look to Jesus for Help, and if your husband is not a Christian, it is not very likely he will ever stop looking at porn, he has no reason to stop.

satan uses porn as his number one silent weapon against men. And it seems now even more and more women are getting addicted to porn as well. i say silent weapon, because it is a sin people do, that is done in secret and can be hidden from others that it is being done. Silent, Deadly, and it eats souls up.

i know a woman who works at an Adam's Mark Hotel. And she told me, that when the Promise Keepers comes into town and Hotels are booked up for miles around, they have more porn rentals than any other time of year. Promise Keepers is a program to and for men, to teach them about being better dads and better husbands, yet because they have hotel rooms, and there are no wives and no kids there, they Rent PORN.

Porn addiction is a serious problem, because many men have it, and nobody knows it. Read all the sites you can, you and he work together to get this disease fixed, the medicine is Jesus and your support and your love.

Hope this helps.
