I enjoyed reading your blog. I am a 65 year old man and have been married for 45 years to the most wonderful woman in the world. I also am an addict. I have been addicted to porn since I was a kid when I looked at my forst playboy. Even after I was married I continued to buy them saying I only looked at the articles lol. When vhs came out I rented porn vids by the dozen. She even looked at them with me. When I discovered the internet in 95 when it was at its infancy the first thig I did was hook up to internet porn sites and have been doing it ever since. My wife installed spyware and caught me looking at porn. This was 2 years ago and she hasn't had sex with me sincem we don;t even hug anymore. She now has moved out (about 2 months) and tells me she will never forgive me for what I did. Even though she believes in and studies God's word. I have been more than repentant over this and have taken steps to overcome my addiciton. Yet she won' even talk to me anymore. I have even started a blog asking in poetry form for forgiveness. I sent her the link but she never acknowledged it. I would appreciate you looking at it and give me some advice, as I want to desperately save my marriage. It's at www.whatlipscannotsay.blogspot.com Pleas give me a woman's view of it. Thanks
