    My partner and I have been doing well for so long! Its been 2.5 years since the porn stopped. About 1.5 years since he stopped attempting to look it up. I had kept very close monitoring on everything. And probably about 1 year since he's deceived me in any way. (Now I'll say that I know of, given the fact I'm pretty on the ball and pick up on the slightest vibe). Now today is my birthday and yesterday I discovered, an empty packet of performance enhancing tablets in his wardrobe. He's said they were only for us and got them off a work mate etc etc. He got them to see if they would make him last longer. Apparently they didn't work, if they did he was going to tell me about (I call BS). He's had them for just over a month. My issue is why the secret in the first place given everything we have been through about honesty. All I can see is that lying deceitful person again. I'm now back to square one. Why them, when everything was going ok?
    He has been lying to me by omission for over a month. How can he do that after everything, does he just not care or is he just a sneaky compulsive lier. We normally work the same shifts in the same workplace, he's stayed on day shift, I've gone to nights, he sent me a text for my birthday this morning, I won't see him at all today and quiet frankly don't want to, I've ignored the text. I'm really thinking after all this time is it just time to say enough is enough and just walk. All I'm going to say to him is that I need some time and space at the moment. I really don't want to end it but I can't keep being hit with this.

    What does he do for recovery work? What has he he done to makes amends to you? What changes have occurred in him, in your relationship, etc. that show real recovery? These will be numerous. Things you wouldn’t have necessarily connected to his addiction but now understand they were?

    He's watched video clips and read literature to understand what it does to a person both physically and mentally to gain more understanding. He has been more loving and attentive towards me and his performance in the bedroom has improved ie is now interested in me and present. He's also stopped this jaw clicking thing he used to do unaware all the time some times more than others.
    I'm not saying he's back to the porn but, he has been secretive and deceptive again, that in it's self makes me question everything however I'm 99% sure porn isn't happening.

    Recovery is far more than just “ quitting porn”. It takes a lot of work, it takes intentional self care. People beginning recovery many times look more selfish than when they are addicted. The reason is that it takes time. Either time spent in group meetings, time spent in church, time spent in counseling, time spent in on line forums or journaling. Time spent talking to accountability partners. Lying is a huge part of addiction. Manipulation is a big part. Unless he wasn’t addicted, I’m afraid watching video clips and reading will not be enough for him to get into actual recovery. If that’s all it took, very few people would still be addicted. To me, the lying is worse than the porn. Lying demonstrates he doesn’t trust you. This is what originally leads to addiction, not being able to trust, connect, depend on people. Porn is only a symptom. Why did he get addicted in the first place? What does his addiction do for him? I’d be more afraid that he had escalated and gotten better at hiding things. A year and 9 months, my husband has relapsed 3 times, when that happens his erections are gone. By that I mean, they are softer and take longer, like he can’t just get excited by seeing me. Within a week or two of each relapse his erections are normal again. That is one place they cannot hide this addiction! They can lie all they want but their body can’t. So why does he need pills? My husband is 52 and when clean can have sex every day without issues. If he masterbates, even without porn it effects his erection. Is your so masturbating? That could b where the problem is.

    I agree with Psalm or it was the same way, if he masturbates his penis does not work like it does when he does not. She is right, they can lie all the want but their body can hide it.

    He first got addicted when his ex partner wouldn't sleep with him and he got a smart phone. I have adult restrictions on his phone and forgotten the pin lol.
    I have noticed on occasion it takes alot of work for him to get hard. Not that often though. It is however always manual stimulation to get him hard. It's definitely not from looking at me. I really need to investigate him further as he's not going to tell me the truth. I need to turn the house and his shed upside down. I currently check his emails,(he doesn't know) they have been clear for ages. I also check his phone bill and that is clear as well. I'll try to investigate if he has a secret phone somewhere. I'm not sure what else to do to catch him out. I did notice he kept an email advertising ipads well that got deleted.

    Not married, we are engaged. We have been together almost 5 years. I'm really not sure why I'm staying, just easier I think at this stage, I am now seriously thinking of leaving. Trouble is we work in a small mining town away from family so I'd have to completely set myself up.
