Two days ago I discovered my husband has been engaging in sex-chat websites for hours at a time as long as I’ve known him (5 years). Online, not in person. In any case, a violation of trust. After long conversations, this discovery was compounded by his shocking admission that
Possible trigger:
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around how he feels and how to move forward now. I feel compassion for him, but worry about myself. I experience general anxiety disorder and have struggled with depression. My mood has plummeted since finding out two days ago. Has anyone dealt with this. I don’t want to bring this up to ANYONE we know Last edited by bluekoi; Oct 30, 2019 at 10:53 AM.. Reason: Add triggger icon. Apply trigger code. |

Hello I love my husband: Welcome to Psych Central. Thank you for bringing your concern here to PC. I see you also posted this in the Addictions forum where you've received 2 replies so far. However I thought I would write my reply here.
One additional forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the Relationships & Communication forum. Here's a link: https://psychcentralforums.com/relat...communication/ And then here's a link to an article, from Psych Central's archives, that discusses the experience of finding your partner using porn or cybersex: What If You Find Your Partner Using Porn or Cybersex? | Healing Together for Couples I hope you find PC to be of benefit. __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."

Thank you.
I didn’t mean to cross-post. I appreciate the information. It’s already helped guide me through some conversations. I’m not opposed to porn. We have (had, for the moment) a healthy sex life. It’s the secrets and obsessive/addiction angle. And the self-disclosures about past trauma. And my shock/disgust/anger. |
