Update on my dh & adult movies

When I got home, I blew a gasket. He just stood there and took my ranting like a trooper. Then, when I went to my room, brought me something to drink, and my cell when it rang. I still refused to look at him or speak to him.

About 1 1/2 hrs later, I went downstairs.. Told him I just want to hear the truth and an apology. He said, because of what you have been going through lately, and not feeling well, I didnt want to bother you w/sex. I am sorry and it wont happen again. I also didnt realize that I had ordered just that much.

I pointed out that when his mom was pregnant w/him and his brother, and if she was sick at all, that I am sure his DAD didnt turn to porn. That his dad would have the respect for his wife to put his own "needs" on the backburner. He agreed.

We are now ok. I did search the house and came up empty on the magazine front. couldnt find anything incriminating. He swore he would try to be a better husband, and he is going to think before he does from now on, and How would I feel about it.

I told him there are not 3 strikes on this.. he only gets 2... and he just used up 1.

It was the sneaking and the lying that upset me the most I think. I just cant stand liars.

I think that your doing the right thing. I caught my xdh many times on the porn thing. I kept telling him I couldn't live with it. But, it didn't stop him. I think he thought that if he kept at it enough then I would cave in and let him have it. Oh, I let him have it alright! Now he's my ex! To me, porn is just like having an affair with another woman. Only with several different women. And the constant lying and trying to cover it up! Made me sick to my stomach.

I suspected this might be what is going on with your husband. Mine was a little nervous about having sex once I got pregnant, for fear he might hurt the baby. I just don't see why your husband had to lie about it!

Because he isnt the brightest bulb on the tree. Pretty nice to look at, but a little dull in the smarts area.

He even admits he isnt bright.

Yeah.. I guess he felt he was saving me from the horrors of sex. HA

Frustrated, I'm so glad he finally came clean about everything and apologized to you. I think that most guys look at porn because they are men - I know it sounds like a lame excuse but men are wired to be more visual about it then us women. I know this may seem weird but perhaps you could both look at some together from time to time - or go and pick one out together. Believe it or not - it can be fun!!

to spice things up a bit. Watching porn together can be alot of fun....although my DH and I don't make it very far into the "movie"...LOL, but thats what it's all about. :)"~waiting on the world to change~"

I agree Chel and Doormat - it can be a lot of fun. About a month ago I also went to a strip club with my fiancee and had a blast - I totally think that being open to new things and experiences will not only bring you 2 together but will make that part of your life that uch more fulfilling.

My DH isn't into porn. He may enjoy stumbling onto an SI swimsuit issue or a cinemax after dark show, but fortunately doesn't seek it out.

He does however, not always understand (most men don't I think) that our libidos are directly tied to our current body image. If you're pregnant I think you know what I'm talking about. I still have 25 pounds on 2 1/2 years after Anna, and my body is betraying its former image, the one that it enjoyed pre-Anna, pre-DH. So when I do see the SI swimsuit issue sitting out somewhere like the bathroom or bedroom, I tell him that I'm sorry I'm so insecure, but please put it away somewhere (especially somewhere that my sons won't find it!)

We women must remember too though, that men are not so inclined to relate their body image to their libido, which are almost always way more intense then ours. And I haven't meant many, run of the mill husbands who wouldn't rather see their real life lover in all her glory than someone in a magazine. When we turn them away over our own insecurity, they resort to those "paper dolls".

I know that I also have trouble wanting intimacy when I am stressed (what SM isn't?) or giving all my nurturing out to a 2 1/2 year old all day, or just plain tired from my current position as CEO of This Blended Family Corp. I have been staying up way too late, too wired for sleep, then he wakes up at five for work with a "smile" to greet me. I comply, because I love him, but I'm pretty ungracious about it after 4 hours of sleep.

So this week I finally told him, "I love you so much I don't say no even when I want to say no. I don't like that, because it makes me feel resentful of the intrusion into my sleep. Could we strike a compromise? As in you compromise your sleep when I come to bed late, so you can get lucky, and I will be much more receptive to the idea since I'm already not sleeping?

Let's just say he saw that as a win-win situation!

I hope your DH and you continue to talk openly about this kind of stuff. It is always far better to be honest about it all than build up resentments. But remember it's a two way street. If he said he felt he didn't want to bother you with sex, perhaps he feels it is a bother for you, but still feels uncomfortable telling you that and doesn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you his.

Goodluck!

w/my tummy after our (my 3d) child was born...c-section to boot. I told my hubby this and he just smiled, and said...."I was not looking your tummy", especially when I'm wearing those shoes! LOL. I have been feeling better about it lately.~waiting on the world to change~"

that subject ladies. he knows what he's talking about. I won't say that I still don't feel a little insecure but I deal with it. It's just TV for gods sake. On the flip side my DH gets insecure when other men look at me. He holds me just a little tighter and I eat it up. So I say go ahead and watch your videos and then watch momma strut her stuff.
