So my husband told me he has not struggled to want to view porn at work (where he was staying late every night to do this before I caught him through credit card bills), but that he has been tempted while watching TV with me right beside him. So last night there was a semi-sex scene on CSI Miami. We had DVR'd it I asked him to fast forward through it but he said it would be done faster than he could fast forward through it but it wasn't. I just got totally disgusted. If he cannot even fast forward through it while I am sitting right next to him than I know he has not control when he is by himself at work. I know I have read where couple have had to get rid of or just turn off the TV for a while until husband gets help, but I am sure he will not do that if I ask. Am I being unreasonable?
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Math 19:26
No, you're not being unreasonable. If he has felt comfortable sharing that he has struggled with you sitting right there then it sounds as if you have an open enough relationship to share your concerns about it with him.
First of all, have you ever voiced how it makes you feel and how hard it is when you know he CAN look away but doesn't? That you WANT to respect him for how hard he is working toward getting free from porn (if he is), but moments like that make you question yourself and how well he is actually doing?
I'll be praying God gives you the wisdom to speak words that will reach his heart and bring forever-change...
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18NIV
