Is it possible for a man who likes porn to stop watching

This is more a question of is it possibe than is it normal. Since I had a my baby I found out my husband was watching porn all year when he said he didnt even like it. It upset me so bad that it sent me into postpartum depression very badly. It has all but ended our marriage. he now swears he will never watch it again and has no desire even to watch it. Is this possible for him to stop watching it all together or is he just giving me lip service so I dont get upset.

Is It Normal?

    Yes, it is possible but extremely difficult to do and most likely he is still doing it.

    The other thing is why is it bothering you? Are you worried he don't love you ? If yes then you shouldn't be. For most men watching porn have nothing to do with loving his wife. I don't believe watching IS cheating and trust me if he wanted to be with other woman then we wouldn't be talking about watching porn right now.

    Next question is why he is watching porn ? because he enjoys watching other woman (single girls in porn) or because he have some fetish or wants to try something but is afraid/shamed to tell you (he keep watching similar themed porn) .

    If you are not disgusted by porn then try to watch it with him. Maybe you sill see some pattern.
    If he is addicted then he may really want stop it but it's not possible for him.
    If he want's to stop it, but he is lacking willpower then you both could try chastity cage for him. It's little on extreme side by he will lose interest in watching porn after few days and if you will keep it long enough then he may stop completely (at least for some time).

    Also don't fight with him, talk with him.

    I don't believe it is possible for a man to stop. Becoming upset is normal, & anything but selfish. Your husband is lusting & acting on this desire and it isn't with you, so of course you're going to be hurt & offended. It IS cheating. Just because he isn't physically with another woman, doesn't mean that it's not considered cheating & it most certainly doesn't make that okay either. It is a huge let down to know that your spouse would rather masterbate looking online, than be with you physically and have the real thing. Any man who tells you they're done with it is lying... Once porn addiction has surfaced, it is a hard thing to end. Just be cautious when you receive his promises & denial.

    Why are you so selfish with him? He loves you and he didn't cheat... He watch porn not to cheat... That means he loves you

    It's impossible to stop it. But why do you get upset? He is entitled to his own hobbies.
