What is a wife to do?

Um... all guys are definitely not like this and be most definitely has a problem.  I would try the nice way first, and tell him what's bothering you, that you don't want to feel like you're competing, that you're sick of seeing that porn is such a big part of his life, that this is not the person you married.  And if nothing changes, I would tell him that you want to go to counseling with him, because you cannot live like this anymore.  If he refuses, then I would tell him that he has a choice, counseling and getting over the porn, or your marriage.  You deserve better than this.  You should only put up with so much.  I'm a guy, and I think it's rediculous.

If at this point you have already done these options stated above, then I think that it's time that you consider divorce.  Look, you're not going to change him because he doesn't want to change.  He obviously thinks that he is doing nothing wrong and he is even willing to state these hurtful things, such as... I'll just find another woman who doesn't mind.  This is not the way you should be treated and you deserve to be with a better person.  If he can't be that better person for you, than leave him.  We only have one life to live.  Don't waste it with him.

That was definitely a good answer to a common problem. My b/f is like this too and I had a talk with him...if he does not knock off this bad habit I am not getting married to him...he thinks I am..but even though we got the rings doesn't mean crap to me....I don't want him if he has this bad habit even though I care and love him..I will not put up with this..am I right???

One of the most pervasive challenges in dealing with pornography addiction is denial. During the past number of years and particularly since the introduction of the Internet the world has become so desensitized to the issues surrounding sexuality that we no longer know where to look for what is normal behavior. What is pornography or sexual addiction? There are numerous definitions of addiction but they all seem to have a few things in common. A return to unwanted behaviors that are associated with negative consequences after one has made a personal commitment to stop them. These behaviors are induced by unwanted strong and persistent cravings. 

The following are some of the most common signs and symptoms that have been reported to me from clients over the years who have struggled with pornography/sexual addiction. It is my hope that you will have the courage to examine yourself against these signs and symptoms to see where you stand. Be honest with yourself and know that there is help available, if you seek it. 

Common Signs and Symptoms of Pornography/Sexual Addiction

• Accuse others of misunderstanding.

Pornography addiction is harmful. The battle in overcoming it must be fought on a personal level and not a legal one. This battle will never be won in the courts but in the personal private lives of each person. The only way for pornography to go away is for people to stop watching it. There is a higher judge that resides in each one of us and we all know what that means if we have the clarity to see and feel it. Pornography is a very serious issue and is destroying the lives of millions of individuals around the world. May you help you husband find freedom from his chains.
