One of the problems with the net is that you can search for one thing and it takes you off in all sorts of directions so this find shows only that he looks at images of some sort.
As for the gambling, the amount of money gambled would have been easy enough to have lost in 30mins and it could well have been toted up due to him worrying about having lost a smaller amount. No proof for the moment that he has an addiction.
The reason for his lies could well be due to embarrasment as the areas he has strayed into are hard to admit by even the most loyal of partners and the most communitive of relationships.
For my money he needs to be told about your concerns, that things are going in the wrong direction and that you both need to go to a counsilling service to discover wether or not he has a problem with addiction or just has a problem with the reactions hes getting in this situation.
After 15 years I believe this relationship deservese every chance possible as most marriages these days don't even make five years.....

I have to disagree with those saying get out, he won't change, he's a liar and addicted...I think Tishie hit the nail on the head!
Divorce is too easy these days...doesn't anyone believe in the sanctity of marriage anymore? You say vows, not promises, but vows, to be together, etc., etc., 'til death do you part. I believe most marriages can and should be saved (again, yes there are exceptions). This one it totally saveable!
He has problems, needs counseling and maybe you two can do some marriage counseling, but I honestly believe this can be fixed. 15 years is a lot of time to just throw out the window. If he loves you, and you're both willing to get help, and you love him...do it, don't throw this away.
GL and God bless!
