Hubby looking at sex sites on Internet

I'm feeling really sh** as my hubby is on the internet so often. I know he's looking at porn. It really upsets me and I've told him many times over the last 5 years but he still continues. It makes me feel like crap. He then wonders why I don't want sex.I find it such a turn off!!
I've got two kids and don;t want to leave him but it makes me sick to my stomach. I know he emails these people and pays for personal shows too. What can I do?

Its not illegal and perhaps to some people not a problem, but if it makes you feel that bad its time for a proper think about whether you want to be there.

It can be a dangerous addiction that can give men unrealistic expectations of a relationship or take them very far away from their own relationship that it becomes unsalvable. There must be a helpline or something.
Whether it is morally right or not is less important that what you find acceptable within your own relationship..... you need to decide how you really feel and what you are willing to do about it.

my husband looks at porn on a daily basis on the internet. i don't particularly like how often he looks. if it was occasionally i wouldn't mind. i think it makes them more addicted to it the more they look.

There is indeed lots of evidence to say it has addictive qualities for many men. The difference with this and most other substance addictions is that when this one is removed/desisted from, there is no side affects. No cravings etc. IT is easy, comforting in some ways and titilatting. Outside of that, men get on with their lives with no pangs. I do have experience of counselling in this behaviour, and no-one has ever reported any 'withdrawl' feelings. It's easy come-easy-go. He should know this if his "addiction" is hurting you.

My dh also looks at internet Porn frequently, it has definitely had a negative impact on our relationship as he does not have ant interest in having sex, he 'sorts' himself out down stairs, then come to bed, breathing heavily.

I also suspect he is paying to view the muck, using our already stretched monies.
