Roger that. Technically my dad was very open about his struggles. He had a porn addiction since puberty and always warned me to “not let the genie out of the bottle” so I wouldn’t end up like him. Sadly he never licked it and escalated. My mom never really talked about it until I was an adult.
I do remember her doing hours and hours straight of Jane Fonda workout vids trying to keep in shape for him. Did this for years before finally giving up because he would openly comment that she still wasn’t thin enough. Porn had really warped his perceptions of what women should look like. Quite frankly my father was addicted to many things—alcohol and drugs for example. Porn was just the tip of the iceberg and there’s not a lot one can do with a spouse like that. Lick one addiction and they still have 50 more to go.
I know there can be frigid wives out there. No excuse to look at porn. Get couples counseling or get a divorce and find someone else if all else fails. Porn just adds fuel to the fire. Just my opinion. Porn usage hurts yourself anyway. It doesn’t truly fill the void.
I really sorry to hear all that, sounds like he had demons he couldn’t shake. And that’s what I get with making assumptions…. looks like I was wrong about all of them 😔
