Unfortunately, you are not alone… I have received several concerned emails (from both men and women) regarding their partner’s frequent use of porn. There is no question that this has become a rapidly growing problem in our society.

As I see it, you only have one option if the porn is negatively impacting your relationship: Ask him to stop.

If he refuses to (or can’t) stop on his own, he may need to seek out help in stopping… “Porn addiction” is a growing trend in this country. The thing with “porn addiction” — or any type of addiction for that matter, is that the person with the problem must be willing to admit that there’s a problem and then [b]want[/b] to stop the behavior. If they are unwilling to do so, there is nothing you can do.

Assuming the worst case scenario is the situation (ie: he refuses to stop or to seek help stopping) you are left with two choices:

1) accept his use of porn
2) give him the choice: stop or lose you

I’m sorry if that sounds cold, but I don’t see any alternatives.

I wish you good luck.
