What has DH been accessing.

Will start this with saying I have no issue with with my DH watching porn. He is in the Forces and away a lot so I guess it keeps him entertained while deployed and has no reflection on our sex life.

I also know he generally accesses through other guys at work and will put onto his laptop hard drive or whatever but I never see any sign of this when home.

He is currently away just now and have just gone to make a payment on our online banking and seen a payment made to a company called Probiller. Had never heard off before so googled and apparently a website/payment system which is known to be connected to adult websites and such like, Pornhub being top of the list.

He is absolutely not a cheat, very unsociable and bit of stickler for doing the right thing and very black and white type person. I also know that he doesn’t have the best internet where he is staying just now so might need to pay access something he would normally stream but maybe that just me being naive.

It was a really random amount, think £7.43 so I don’t think/hope he has been watching live videos or anything like that (presuming they would be much more money) I also did a search and seen that there was another payment made to the same payment system earlier in the month, smaller again, think £4.98.

I guess I’m just looking for a bit of reassurance that it was just a “particular” premium video he wanted to watch on both occasions rather something live or a meet up which would obviously and absolutely be crossing a line as far as I was concerned.

Anyone?

Very unlikely to be any actual sexual contact for those amounts.
You're going to get a whole barrage of replies telling you to leave him though.

Thedryjanuarydiaries · 14/01/2024 23:44

Thank you, that is reassuring.

MillicentRogers · 14/01/2024 23:46

Is be concerned that he thought he was paying for a one off but has been roped into a subscription as that's what several reviews have mentioned.

Thedryjanuarydiaries · 14/01/2024 23:48

@MillicentRogers I also though that but the two amounts I can see are different and in the same month.

WagWoofWalkMeeoow · 14/01/2024 23:51

As you are ok with him watching porn, I think you should just ask him in case they keep taking money out.

At that kind of £ I'd doubt it's going to be anything you'll find relationship ending.

TooMuchPinkyPonkJuice · 14/01/2024 23:56

Likely to be premium video and / or sub fees. Converted from dollar amount would give you a random penny amount.

If you trust him and you don't mind why are you asking us and not him? I think this is what you need to examine.

Thedryjanuarydiaries · 15/01/2024 00:04

Thank you everyone, I will ask him, time difference so not possible at the moment but guess just wanted reassurance on what I was dealing with 1st.

I imagine it's pornhub premium or similair where you get access to exclusive content etc. usually a small monthly fee and the first one is discounted

Thank you everyone.

I’ll update once I’ve spoken to him, it does sound like a premium video (or two) and hopefully he will confirm without getting defensive.

Q “just checked my bank account and there's a pending charge from probiller for 5.49. I googled and it seems those changes are associated with pornhub? but I have definitely not given pornhub my bank card information, and it seems the amount I've been charged is different from what their memberships cost?”

A
Probiller is associated with PornHub yes, but they are also the payment choice for many porn related websites, probably been charged by one of them that have that amount as their membership payment price. Not really helpful now since I assume u have resolved it but for anyone else coming here with the same problem, as others said if it doesn't resove just put a block on the card and get your bank to send u a new one.

Reddit. Question and answer.

Thedryjanuarydiaries · 15/01/2024 07:48

@Missingmyusername thanks, I seen that when I originally looked…

He would definitely have had to put his card details in for the payment to have been taken again or another payment made!

Not a drip feed as such but what’s wild to me is that he is an absolute grump for any free introductory subscription that I have forgot to cancel in the past and has taken payment and the DC normally have to give a 10 slide power point to him if they ever want to buy/rent a movie on Prime…he can be such a miser with spending money but I guess that’s what a few months away from home, a couple of beers and boredom do to you!

rainbowstardrops · 15/01/2024 08:42

I agree, just ask him when you can.

"he is an absolute grump for any free introductory subscription that I have forgot to cancel in the past and has taken payment and the DC normally have to give a 10 slide power point to him if they ever want to buy/rent a movie on Prime"

What a miserable way to live. I wouldn't say a word. Bank it OP and the next time he starts on the kids for wanting a bit of enjoyment shut the fucker straight down.

Alwaystired2023 · 15/01/2024 08:49

haha agree with @shreknjumps next time the children want a movie ask DH if they can access it on his Propiellier subscription 🤣

Seriously though doesn't sound like a live person just a a extra payment for a nice porn video, maybe the cover royalties in the songs used 🤣

Thedryjanuarydiaries · 15/01/2024 09:08

@Alwaystired2023 & @shreknjumps love it and very tempting!

I should add he isn’t completely miserable and very generous in other areas but paying money to watch something is normally a sore point!

This is why I never subscribe, I’m always worried I’ll forget to cancel or that it’ll be tricky! and you have him over a barrel now! Hopefully he can cancel it, but definite ammunition for when he gets the hump.

Bobbotgegrinch · 15/01/2024 09:16

They look like they're probably trial subscriptions for a porn website.

A lot of porn site don't do the "months free trial", like Netflix etc. do.

However they will do a 3 day trial, that's cheaper than paying for a month, and then rolls over to a monthly subscription if you don't cancel in the 3 days. They're quite often random prices, as they're American sites, so the British price fluctuates based on the exchange rate. Probiller is quite commonly used by porn sites to handle their financial transactions.

Thedryjanuarydiaries · 15/01/2024 09:35

@Bobbotgegrinch thank you for that, it’s helpful.

I used an online converter to see how much he was paying in his current currency and was still random amount (and not in a £9.99 type way) which is what threw me.

I wonder if he has paid through his hotel Smart TV due to not having any internet…

Will follow up later!

We ask eachother if something unexpected is on an account, so I wouldn't have a problem asking my DH. Actually worth doing as we've come across a couple of things in the past that aren't for us. If you've not got a problem with him watching porn, then jokingly ask him what he's been watching/looking at now.

Thedryjanuarydiaries · 15/01/2024 22:22

Thought I’d update as just spoke to DH.

He did indeed subscribe to a free porn channel via Porn Hub.

He was quite sheepish as doesn’t actually have any recollection of doing it….

(obviously did pissed up one night!)

Which I do totally believe knowing how frustrated he now is over having a running subscription that has now charged him 3 times for something that should have been free! 😅
