Stardust- Your friend probably has to act 'devastated' to gain your approval. Let them be. Tell her to talk to her husband directly and I am sure they'll come to a mutual solution. Your exasperation will just cause more problems. Now from a guy’s perspective; Almost all the guys I know have watched/ continue to watch some sort of porn. Luckily most of them aren't addicted to it or find some of the sicker stuff out there interesting. A husband watching porn has absolutely nothing to do with his wife. She doesn't have to feel like she is doing something wrong. It's just something a guy does once in a while. Bad analogy but think of it like having a craving for chocolate. If your friend makes a big deal about it he's just going to find more creative ways to watch it. So get off yourself righteous horse and be realistic. Also, many have said it before, a grown man watching porn and a child watching porn are two completely different issues. You are not your husband's mom for god’s sake!
Excuse me Stork, I am on no righteous high horse. Get your facts right yea?
I came here looking for advice if people have been in the same situation. Some have called it an addiction, some have called it a "man's thing" but as of date, no one seems to be in the same position as my friend. She really is hurt by this. You would have no idea because it seems to you that a man watching porn is a normal thing to do. This is typical of a man's inabilityt to understand the complex mind of a woman. I personally think she should get her own back by stopping all the cooking and cleaning and instead, start doing her hair and nails all day because that is such a "woman's thing" to do.
**Your friend probably has to act 'devastated' to gain your approval. **I am sorry but that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why would she have to fake her devastation? And it's not like a family member died that she can't stop crying or get out of bed. She is continuing her normal life! She is raising his kids and being the best wife she can be. How dare you say something so non-sensical and downright rude!
I thought there were people who had more sense on GS!
