One thing that was not mentioned about setting boundaries was also setting consequences. Any boundaries you set to help you feel safe have to have consequences attached to them for when they are crossed. So if you decide that you would like a boundary to be no electronics in the bedrooms, then what is the consequence for when a phone or tablet gets brought in?
Kevin is right about your boundaries needing to be focused on your feeling safe emotionally and physically. Hubby will need to work out his own boundaries to help him overcome his addiction. I, like Kevin, had to put my own boundaries in place when I started my own overcoming journey. I still am vigilant on not crossing them and I have been porn free 9 years.

I also liked what Kevin wrote about one of your boundaries is that he share his boundaries with you. I haven't done that in my own life. I think I should.

This hug is for you Jay! O I completely understand the desire to try everything you can to stop his behavior, but we can't control that anymore than the weather. It sucks because I feel like when I go through the heart wrenching process of telling him what I am feeling, I often feel a brick wall would be more apathetic then he is. I pray that God will continue to give you strength.

We are doing the couples book and it seems that every night after reading it hits a trigger for me. I get so angry every time. On one side of it is good because I see that I am still holding on to things I thought were long gone.
