My partner and I have been together for 3 years and have a 1 year old son together. Around a year ago I found out he had a problem with porn - he would be watching it most nights (until the early hours 3/4am). I do not mind porn per say, but we rarely have sex and I never feel sexy or wanted.
We had a big argument and he agreed not to watch it anymore as it was effecting our relationship. He watched it a couple of times after that but each time I found out and he swore he would not do it again. Recently I have noticed that he has been viewing Facebook friends pictures a lot and one can only assume what he is doing whilst viewing them. From what I have seen in his history he will look through hundreds of female friends pictures on Facebook, then delete his browsing history (or so he thinks).
I haven't confronted him about it yet. Like I said earlier, I have no problem with porn itself. My issue is we have had sex once since August and it really hurts me that he would rather look at female Facebook friends then be with me. I am very open about sex and willing to try new things, dress up etc.
What do you think I should do? I feel like at this point I have confronted him so many times, I feel so deflated. I have considered going to see a therapist but this would cost £80 per hour which we simply cannot afford. We have a 1 year old son together and I feel like I need to make it work. Has anybody been in a similar situation and how did you cope?
