14. It’s not because he doesn’t find you attractive and sexy

It’s not because you aren’t enough

It’s not because he gets something from porn that he doesn’t get from you.

It’s not because he’s a pervert.
15. His addiction probably started before he even knew you existed.

This is not a sex issue.

Porn addiction has nothing to do with sex.

It is an emotional deficiency that he has learned to self medicate with porn.
16. Something happened to him, probably in his childhood or teenage years that was traumatic.

He then learned to cope with that pain, anxiety, and negative emotions by “escaping” through porn and sex.

Eventually, it spiraled out of control.
17. Yes, I know you’re hurt and heartbroken.

But the best thing you can do for him is to love him.

It may take some time to forgive. That’s understandable.

But you need to forgive.
18. His job is to repent and find healing for his addiction

Yours is to forgive and find healing for your broken heart.

Punishing him will get you nowhere.

It will only drive him further into shame and emotional pain which will eventually drive him right back into porn.
19. He’s going to go through a lot of ups and downs in his recovery.

There’s a good chance he’ll relapse.

Let him work through those battles with another man, a pastor, counselor, or coach. That allows you and him to focus on healing your relationship.
20. It may take years to find healing. It may seem hopeless.

But porn addiction is NOT a death sentence.

You can find healing. He can find healing.

Trust CAN be restored.

But you have to be willing to show love and forgiveness and put in the hard work to overcome.
21. If you do, you’ll find your marriage will be stronger than ever before.

And you’ll know, that if you can overcome this, you can overcome anything.

God bless you ladies.
