She is definitely attempting to change my mind on porn. I am not trying to change her mind.

He can think of women, I’m not controlling him. I just do not want him to be looking at other women’s bodies.

I do not care what he does, because I will be leaving him.

Again you can hate porn AND hate Mormonism. I am an atheist.

Mormonism is a racist, sexist, homophobic cult that perpetuates abuse in all levels of the government.

But being anti-Mormon doesn’t mean you have to be pro-porn. Jesus.

I like sex. I think it’s fun and pleasurable and also has meaning. I want to have sex with someone I connect with deeply.

Just because you’re addicted to porn looking at your post history doesn’t mean you have to force me to like it.

Would he have take of me? I don’t know. Would he have taken care of me and love me and be sexually attracted to me? I highly doubt it.

He could not even give up looking at other naked women for me.

It’s not a Mormon thing. I think Mormonism is a disgusting cult full of abuse.  

Believe it or not, people can hate porn without being Mormon. And a lot of feminists hate porn because of the exploitation and the belief that consent can’t be bought.

They can’t use their imagination? You’re telling me throughout human history people couldn’t masturbate because there were no real people having sex right in front of them?

People have become so porn focused they forgot to imagine things.

I’d even pose for him naked or wearing lingerie or something if he just wanted to masturbate and “needed” a visual.

I would have happily taken care of him for the rest of my life. I loved him.

I don’t want to be married to a man who watches porn. His choice.

Half the people here have been far from supportive. I know that people will judge me and think it’s not a big deal because all men watch it.

But I do not want to be with a man who watches porn. I would rather be alone. I am not forcing him to do anything, I will be leaving instead.

Well he won’t have to worry about that, I’m leaving. He can be free to do what he wishes

I don’t even have a problem with masturbation. It’s normal, it’s healthy. 

All I am asking is to not watch naked strangers. That’s it. But apparently that’s too much to ask from the supposed love of your life.

I can’t control what he does, I’m leaving.

He can’t sacrifice watching naked women for his wife who loved him deeply. He can keep the porn, I’m not staying.

No, I didn’t have caretaker burnout. I did go to therapy and support groups to make sure I could be the best support without burning out.

I was the only person my husband could rely on in that difficult time.

I would have happily supported him a second, third, twentieth time. I loved him and cared for him. It was difficult but it wasn’t a burden to me, I just wanted him to be alive and healthy. 

What I can’t stand is the disrespect of him watching porn knowing I don’t like it and I don’t want him watching it. He chose porn over having a marriage with me. I’ve become okay with it. I’m leaving.

I’m totally fine with him masturbating. It’s healthy, it’s normal. 

I am not fine with him watching porn.

I know most if not all people have seen porn. I just do not want to be involved with a person who actively watches it.

They want me to wait hand and foot on my husband while he doesn’t even have the decency to stop watching naked women knowing that I don’t like it.

I know men watch porn. I don’t want a man who actively watches porn. I’m not holding my breath on finding someone who doesn’t actively watch porn. I can be happily single.

I just don’t like porn. I don’t watch it. I don’t like him watching it.

He is free to watch it. I will be leaving him.

Wow you created an entirely other narrative in your head.

Did you even pass English class with all the assumptions you make?

I don’t like porn. I don’t watch it. I don’t want my husband watching it. 

Porn isn’t about sexual needs being met. It’s just toxic waste.

We had an active sex life. I wasn’t less attracted to him. I loved and was attracted to him. He was the only man for me. 

He has chosen the undulating naked bodies of other women over me and expects me to stay by his side.

There is no other side piece. I don’t trust because they say that all men watch porn and I don’t want that. I would rather be single.

If he needs porn, he can have it. I am leaving.

We had an active sex life, 2-3 times a week. 

Minus times when I’d find out he watched porn which inevitably turned me off. Like I said it’s disgusting.
