Why Do Married Men Watch Porn? A Wife’s Personal Journey to Understanding
I never thought I’d find myself asking this question.
But there I was, sitting on the couch one evening, phone in hand, scrolling through articles that didn’t quite give me the answers I needed.
Why do married men watch porn?
Was it about me?
Was it something I did or didn’t do?
These thoughts ran through my mind, and I know I’m not alone. Many women out there are grappling with the same questions.
Let me tell you my story and what I discovered along the way.
A Surprising Discovery
It started like any other evening. I was tidying up while my husband relaxed on the couch. I accidentally knocked his phone off the coffee table, and the screen lit up. I didn’t mean to snoop, but there it was: a video still from a porn site.
I froze. My heart sank.
Why? I wondered.
Wasn’t I enough?
My mind raced, filled with insecurities. I felt hurt, confused, and embarrassed. I decided to confront him, though I wasn’t sure how to approach it without sounding accusatory. But I needed answers.
