Is My Husband's Porn Addiction My Fault?

Is My Husband’s Porn Addiction My Fault?

Many wives have been led to believe that they are to blame for their husband’s sexual addiction. A husband’s accusations of inadequate or infrequent intimacy often lead to regret, grief and heartache.

To make matters worse, these accusations are often reinforced by family members, church leaders and emotional or mental health experts.

Many believe that more sex will fix this problem, or that cosmetic surgery will create enough excitement to curb a man’s addiction. Well-meaning counselors may even suggest that a more adventurous sex life will bring a man’s passions under control.

The problem with these “fixes” is they are simply attempts at controlling sexual addiction, and will inevitably fail. A man addicted to sex will be out of control until his addictions are put off once and for all.
