Amymine712, thank you for posting that link. tolovehonorandvacuum.com/2014/03/effects-of-porn-on-your-marriage/
It is so very painfully true but it helps to see that I am not the only woman who faces such a lonely reality. My spouse has not wanted intimacy in over 10 years and I am not over weight nor have I let myself go physically so as to be unattractive. It has been a very lonely time as I still find him attractive and would so welcome gentle intimacy.

Linda, welcome to BG. I am sorry you have been experiencing this porn problem. Please feel free to post in any of the forums. We have a great group of women here. I will be praying for you and your husband.

Thank you Amy.
I used to think that this was a much smaller problem than I know know it is. I feel so much sympathy for the millions and millions of families affected. I am reading a few posts as I have time and my heart feels for all. Thank you for the efforts of all the admins and regulars for making this forum and the time to keep this forum going.

The 10 effects that porn/sex addiction has had on my marriage and love life: basically it is two things in a nut shell -
Lack of emotional and physical intimacy
To be more detailed and how lacking those two things has effected our day to day life :
1. Absence of clear direct healthy communication together
2. Absence of doing any kind of activities relaxation or fun together
3. Absence of physical affection
4. Absence of partnership / team work / togetherness / support in and each struggling due to lack of support in getting through life problems as a couple together
5. Secrets other than porn / SA
6. Division in family due to strain / tension
( although family members do not know the cause of the tension they know something is "up" )
7. Physical division in household
Eating separately sleeping separately not enjoying even life's simple things - church going, watching a movie, sitting together for a cup of coffee.
8. No laughs together no planning future together
9. Nerves raw / Anger flare ups from my husband to me / lots of blame / shame.
10. Total division / big wall between us
