Hubby's sudden porn interest...
:crying I know this might sound like over reacting but the other night while I was out my hubby was serching on the internet for nude swim suit models and teen porn. I didnt go looking I found it by accident. I am much better with a pc than him so I guess he doesnt know how to cover his tracks.

Ususally I am the kind of wife who wouldnt mind the occasional look at porn. He has known that I wouldnt mind yet refused to do it saying I am all he needs. Once a friend of ours had some mags in his car and we were looking thru... my hubby looked the other way and said he dosent need to look at that because I am so beautiful.

So I guess whats hurting so bad is that it only starts now when I am 5 months pregnant I know I have a big belly and I got my hair cut shorter but could he really find me that much of a turn off?

All thru my pregnancy he has been telling me how pretty I am and that he loves my belly. I just am in shock... I thought I had one of those wonderful hubbys that doesnt care how I looked.

Im sue he knows I found out because he has been extra nice to me... also I havent wanted him to touch me since then and I havent gone to bed naked since wich is something I usually do. He keeps asking "is it something I've done"... in other words have I been cought? :rolleyes

Part of me dosent want to bring it up because I was the one that said I was okay with it. Part of me also feels like I have invaded his privacy even tho it was an accident. Then the other part see's it as a total betrayal because its only just come now when I feel the most Vulnerable about how I look.

Thanx for listening to my rant I would love some advice

Re: Hubby's sudden porn interest...
I wouldn't get to worked up about it though. Does your computer give you pop up adertising messages? My computer gives me those dumb pop up messages all of the time. It could have been a pop up message about porn sites. Those do show up in history you know.


I totally understand how you feel about DH's looking at porn.. It seems to me that you are angry not because he looked at these pictures on the internet but, because he did it behind your back. I am with you....I don't mind if my dh looks as porn every blue moon as long as he is open and honest with me (looking at it with me or me in the room). At the same time I want to be looked at by him as the most beautiful women in the world. I struggle with feeling like that too. My husband tells me I am gorgeous Alot but, when you've been with someone for 6 years (married 3 years) it's hard to tell if he truley still thinks I am the most beautiful (25 pounds heavier with short hair). I am not that tan long blond hair babe he dated in college.

Communication is the key.... you do need to express your feelings. You don't want to keep these inside. If I were you, I wouldn't come right out and say... I caught you, your busted, why were you looking at girls on the internet. In fact I would play dumb and when you are on the computer one night ask him to join you for a second and tell him you think something is going on with the computer, that when you were cleaning up the history files their were porn site on there. Give him the opportunity to tell you. Then if he says he did it then express how that make you feel. Tell him it doesn't make you feel beautiful when he does things like that. If he says he didn't look at it then still talk about your feelings. Say good, I didn't think you would beacuse if you did, it would make me feel.....................(explain what you feel now).

Re: Hubby's sudden porn interest...
I know exactly how you feel. The same exact thing happened to me!! My sweetie isn't the best with computers. In fact, he ony uses ours to download music to. When I came home from work a few weeks ago, he was at his job, and I noticed the computer was frozen. So I sat down to see what I could do about it. When I got it back up, he had been using KaZaa to download about 20 porn videos all at once!!!! They weren't even finished downloading yet. What really upset me was that our bottle of lube that we use in the bedroom was sitting right there on the desk! :scream I didn't know whether to laugh at him, or to cry. I was so upset about this, b/c I've had an enormous sexual appetite throughout this pregnancy. He even told me that I am demanding about sex at times, and that he feels like a piece of meat!! So I guess when I saw that he had been, apparently, satisfying himself with the porn, I felt like he just wasn't satisfied with me anymore. I talked to him about it though and he told me that he just likes to watch porn for the entertainment value, not because he's attracted to those women or anything. That's fine, but I would much rather him watch it with me in our bedroom then by himself. HTH!

Re: Hubby's sudden porn interest...
This is definitely a reassurance issue. It's hard to remember that our husbands once upon a time found us sexy and attractive, when not only our tummies are growing but other areas as well. We aren't asking for much but unfortunately, my husband is not exactly the most sensitive man in the world. He too has been downloading porn from kazaa. I don't blame him because my dr has nixed intercourse and orgasms for me for 10 weeks. I know he has needs and he has not been pushy or complaining about the lack of sex, but does he have to download or watch right next to me? I told him it bothered me, he apologized and so far hasn't done it with me in the room. My advise: talk to your husband and let him know how you feel.

I agree with Charmed....you need to talk to your DH and let him know how you feel. If you don't resentments will just build up and that isn't any good.

hubby's porn itnerest
my fiance is a very sexually oriented man. and he is extremely visual. he (just as yours says) says that I am all he wants to look at and more often than not even now he would rather look at me and touch himself than a mag. but he does have them and i know taht he does look, and that's just a need he has. in all actuality he gets embarrassed knowing that i know he looks, but i know he thinks i'm beautiful. we've flipped througha nd he's told me i look twice as good as the models.

Also too do mention it too him, and ask why he looks. my fiance is very sexual. but he would never be unfaithful to me, because i am what he wants and he loves me belly and he thinks i look like one of the women from the sistine chapel's ceiling. i guess sometimes they want to see nastiness. usually my DH asks me to pose of him so he can look at me. but mine's weird. ask you hubby. i trust mine and i'm sure your hubby loves your and thinks you are beautiful.

Re: Hubby's sudden porn interest...
This situation is particularly tough when history says that porn in the past has been ok, huh?

I had this exact experience with my last pregnancy and I suspect it will happen again. My libido seems to rage high and then fall very low for weeks at a time throughout pregnancy. last time, the same thing happened, I found porn where I wasn't expecting it and my fragile self-image/ego was crushed.

I have no fabulous advice except of course to tell him you were hurt and while you're hurt, you're a bit confused as well. Talk it out, it's the only way to go.

Best of luck.

Re: Hubby's sudden porn interest...
hi
i dont think its anything to do with your pregnancy.

my hubby always used to tell me he doesnt look at porn and yes it was because he is happy with me. i have always said i dont mind its natural as far as im concerned.

i found some sites. i confronted him and said i didnt mind the porn its the lying about it i couldnt stand. i think your hubby has probably always looked at porn but like my hubby he is probably embarrassed to talk to you about it. most guys think women shouldnt agree to them liking porn and will hit the roof if they find out. they cant understand that they have such understanding, fantastic, secure in themselves, women like us.

hope you sort it out soon good luck
love mara
