If you found out your partner of 10+ years had been watching gay porn ie men on men

I can’t find the ipad now,
My son says it not where he always leaves it.
Oh says he doesn’t know he hasn’t used it for ages

He's hidden it/got rid of it. He knows you're onto him.

You don't need more proof OP. You already know the truth.

Constellationstation · 14/10/2021 13:48

Oh God, what a mess. Sorry you’re going through this

RockinHorseShit · 14/10/2021 13:51

I think you need to check browser history thoroughly. You really cannot say who is to blame without thoroughly investigation.

DDs friend of course never owned up to his DM that he'd searched for porn himself & if he'd had a dad or older brother at home, I'm sure they'd have got the blame too as his DM thought him too young & too sweet to do such a thing... DD had shown me his porn posts & what he'd written with it, yes he was playing "big man" & showing off to his mates, but there was absolutely nothing "sweet" about his posts. I was shocked. Anyone who thinks an 8yo boy can't or won't do this & will be honest about it when caught out, is incredibly naive

Earmuffsweather · 14/10/2021 13:55

@RockinHorseShit i can’t as the ipad is nowhere to be seen

RockinHorseShit · 14/10/2021 13:58

Drat, I'm now wondering which of the 2 have hidden it. I hope you find it & can get some clarity on the situation

Tiredmum100 · 14/10/2021 14:13

Oh my god. I would be absolutely LIVID if I found porn on my dc tablet!! I can't believe you're not angry at your 8 year old seeing porn!!

Earmuffsweather · 14/10/2021 14:21

@Tiredmum100 i am angry but i cant be 100 percent certain it was dh

Who was it last time then?
And who turned the adult content filter off?

You know who it was.

It sounds like you are desperate to excuse him. So you crack on, but in the meantime please do seek advice for your poor son. He should be the priority here.

Come ON, OP.

It's vastly more likely it was your husband than your 8yo and you know this. The ipad going missing only reinforces this.

And above all this you can be 100% sure your husband is expressing bigoted, homophobic views. Whether he does that because he's a closet case or in denial, or whether he's just your average homophobic straight guy, I don't know. But that should be an absolute relationship-ending deal-breaker for you. What if your son grows up to be gay?

poohaloo · 14/10/2021 14:33

I have an 8 year old son and he can't access any sort of porn on his I pad

I'd be asking yourself why he has or could have access to porn???

youvegottenminuteslynn · 14/10/2021 14:33

@Earmuffsweather

I ami just wanted to be certain before i do go to the oh I do know deep down it was him but i don’t want to break up the family if there was a chance it wasn’t him.
Your wish to not have to take action shouldn't be priority to the point you were quizzing your son repeatedly and telling him you won't be angry no matter what... when he'd already said multiple times it wasn't him. Poor little thing he must be so confused.
Earmuffsweather · 14/10/2021 14:42

@youvegottenminuteslynn it’s because the firsr time i asked my son he said it was on there already then later he lied and blamed a friend saying so & so told him to serch it
Then he changed his story again and said it was on the ipad when he went on it

What were the search terms?

REDHERO · 14/10/2021 15:05

Sounds like your husband us a liar by the information given.
Get a sti check done.
Poor son might stumble on the inappropriate websites and watch in error.
I'd dump the lying git.

I’ve watched porn where women do things to one another many times but I’m not lesbian and not even really bi as I don’t want to do anything in real life. It’s just a spur of the moment kink.

Freddy12 · 14/10/2021 15:20

Sounds as dodgy AF
DH has previously watched gay porn
It is now on a tablet that would need the filters setting to allow
Seems very unlikely that if your son was looking for porn it would end up on gay porn
Would an 8 year old have thought of that and come up with a search string? The children I know of similar ages would probably go with boobs or something

RockinHorseShit · 14/10/2021 15:21

@Freddy12 see my link below. 1 in 10 under 10s DO

cathyandclare · 14/10/2021 15:30

Weird pop-up stuff came up on our computer when our kids were 8 and 10. They were with a friend and he typed in 'naked ladies' 'people having sex' and 'boobies'. They were initially most insistent that they hadn't and suggested it might have been DH, but the search terms gave it away!!!

Lots of also sites have terrible pop-ups, I clicked on something in error at work ( health research, so sexual health related) and had to frantically click and close pop ups for the next ten minutes.

No saying he's innocent , just that there are other options.

cathyandclare · 14/10/2021 15:33

Ugh terrible typos!

I can 100% believe that an under-10 would go searching for porn but the combination of everything the OP's told us heavily indicates that her husband has some fairly big issues around same-sex attraction and is the more likely candidate to have searched for gay porn, and they need to be resolved asap.

I can't understand why she's not more concerned about his homophobia. I know so many gay and lesbian friends who were damaged by their parents' homophobia, usually their fathers. I can't fathom a woman having children with a man who thought like that.

@BrendaBubbles did you look at it on your 8 year old son’s iPad though, and do you say homophobic things?
Constellationstation · 14/10/2021 15:57

It says 1 in 10 under 10s have been exposed to internet pornography, it doesn’t say anything about gay porn and it doesn’t say that they actively search for porn
