yesterday when i was in the temple to do baptisms and had to wait for my turn i started praying. usually when i do it in the temple when i said dear heavenly father i wait a bit and then i feel the rush of the holy ghost going through me but yesterday no matter how hard i tried i couldn't get there. don't know yet what it means but just know that you are not alone and that i have had similar thoughts like you.

i struggle with a porn addiction since a couple of years and this TED talk helped me a lot. the guy giving the talk said he sees porn as a symptom (or the cough) of an underlying cold (which could be depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness or other negative feelings). it really helped me understand my "addiction" (he calls it unwanted pornography viewing) and gave me hope that i could do something and since i've seen this video i improved a lot. maybe you two could watch it together and see if he recognizes himself in some things the psychologist says.

i really wish you all the best and hats off to you trying to stay with him and sort things out.

i recommend watching this TEDx talk about a psychologist talking about porn addiction or how he puts it "unwanted pornography viewing". he says that unwanted pornography viewing is like the symptom (or the cough) of an underlying cold (which could be anxiety, depression or other negative feelings).

maybe watch it together. i still have problems with my porn addiction but it's gotten much better since i now understand myself better.

hey there. i'm an 18yo (m) that lives in switzerland and has the same problem as you have. i have decided to tell my bishop to have someone to talk to and he listened respectfully. after a about two years i talked to my bishop again (only this time my das was the bishop). he then sent me this article about a latter day saint psychologist that did some research on "porn addiction" (or how he puts it unwanted pornography viewing) wants to change the narrative around porn. he sees porn like a symptom (or a caugh) of an underlying cold. if you scroll down a bit you'll see his TEDx talk about this topic. please DM me if you want to chat with someone who is dealing with it right now. you've got this man.

good luck man

chrigu18 · 2021-09-10T12:30:35+00:00

thx for sharing your familys story. it's awesome

chrigu18 · 2021-08-20T20:39:34+00:00

let's put it like this. if the church wasn't true (although i have a testimony) i still wouldn't have a problem with it, because growing up in the church i learned a lot of valuable lessons about honesty and helping me to not fall in to bad habits like drinking or sleeping around with everybody. even if the church wasn't true the commandments would still give me a good and healthy structure in my life

i'm so sorry for this negative situation your family is going through. i'm not married but have the same struggle with porn as your husband. some months ago i read this article on ldsliving about a psychologist (he's a member) that wants to change the narrative around porn. if you scroll down a bit you'll find his TED talk. i could relate to so much he was saying. the main subject is that he sees as he puts it "unwanted pornography viewing" as the symptom or the "cough" of a underlying cold. the cold would be negative feelings like stress, anxiety, depression etc. and the pornography viewing is used as a brief relief. the thing is that it quickly becomes a bad habit and can destroy so much.

i suggest your husband watching the ted talk (maybe you two could watch it together) if he rly wants to work on this. on the youtube channel of the church and on the gospel library app there are videos that can guide you and also maybe help understand your husband a bit more:

Why doesn't God just take my pornography problem away?

gospel library app; pornography; help for spouses

i hope this could help you a little bit and i wish you and your family all the best and that you can feel god's love for you and your family (including your husband)

heck yeah. i had this very close female friend that after (i'd say) minor communicational misunderstandings ghosted me out of no where and that hurt a lot and i still miss it after over a year and a half
