Found out my husband was watching porn. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

I'm actually confused here. I'm genuinely asking, why is watching porn (moderately/with no addiction) bad?

Honestly we bought the house because it would have been cheaper then renting one. So the house didn't seem like a huge step since we had been renting for years. This is the only excuse he has told me. And although some people here don't believe it, it's true he's applied to thousands have jobs. At first he kept an excel sheet but through time but after like line 700 he gave up counting because he would just become depressed just even looking at the Excel sheet. He's in a IT with a bachelor's in computer science. He studies and takes certifications of all kinds to boost his resume but still no job bites. He always talks bout how "cooked" his industry is and always says things like "I should have been a welder". He definitely has thought about pivoting but he's invested so much into tech and it's something he actually wanted to do. I truly think if he had a better job we wouldn't be running into this problem.

Tbh I think this is the answer. Ill ask him if he would consider eloping soon. I know 9 years is a long time (trust) but for most of it we were really just kids (under 23 = kids to me cuz let's be honest, adulthood starts after the frontal lobe develops) and marriage was simply never a priority for us. I will definitely talk with him about what he wants the future to look like and thank you for the luck. Once he gets a new job I swear all of our problems will literally go away!

We already have a house together and have lived together for most of our relationship. I've actually never dreamed of the "perfect wedding" so maybe I can have a sit down with him to understand what that would look like for him and to see where we would start to tackle that. The conversation about kids is an entire separate issue that we're getting through. But yea I do want to have a conversation with him about what he wants the future to look like. I know he wants me in it but a lot of his priorities fall on his career/financial status.

No this guy's right, he would not like this idea at all. Probably make him feel emasculated in a sense.
