I am a addict this I know. I have a wonderful wife and kids. I feel if I continue I will lose her. I love her deeply, but for some reason this has taken ahold of me. I have never cheated on her, but she feels looking at porn is cheating!

Hey Deadmonkey!
I am an SO here along with my H Mac. Your wife is feeling what many of us have felt/are feeling. Here is a link to an article that may describe to you what your wife is experiencing at this time.
Trauma to SOs
I know when my H started to read here that so many of us felt exactly the same way, it helped him to understand how I was feeling.
Hope this helps!

I felt the same way as you. I didn't understand how my wife could equate the mere looking at pictures with adultery, but she did. I understand now that she was right. I wish I had understood it years ago. Maybe I never would have gotten involved with this stuff. By the time I understood that looking at porn is cheating, I was already hooked.

Phil,
Is she aware of you on this site seeking help? Did she understand the addiction?
Mine either Phil. How long have you been porn free?
You can do it. I believe in you.
Awesome, great....It is day two for me
