My Husband Swears that What He Does With Other Women Online Is Harmless. It's Tearing Me Apart.
"He would be looking at posts of women and commenting on them while sitting right next to me. He would also engage in kinky chats with them. I blew up at him when I noticed him messaging during a family function. I told him how much it hurts me to see him messaging strangers how beautiful they are, but not saying the same things to me."
"He also says it's just a fantasy and has no bearing on what he feels for me. We are going to both individual and couples counseling, and my husband was diagnosed with ADHD, which can affect impulse control. He told me he would pursue these sites less and hasn't done so when I'm around, but I know he's still texting women because I have caught him messaging on Instagram and Reddit."
Husband frequently views pornography and comments on women's nude posts, sometimes openly while sitting beside his wife, and engages in kinky chats with women on social media. Wife feels hurt and inadequate when he compliments strangers but not her. Husband claims he helps women's self-esteem, calls it fantasy, and says it does not reflect his feelings for his wife. Both partners attend individual and couples counseling. Husband received an ADHD diagnosis that can impair impulse control. Husband promised to reduce use but continues messaging women on platforms like Instagram and Reddit. Trust and boundaries remain unresolved despite overall marital improvements.
