A setback...how to block PlayStation ?

You can try to set the family shield dns servers through opendns on your internet router. It is a little for the more tech savvy, but they have some instructions on getting it setup. You’ll need to know what model of internet router you have to determine the default password if you haven’t changed it. Sometimes the default password is something your ISP has set or changed, and should be able to help you through it. Maybe your husband is savvy enough to help, just make you change that default password to something only you know once it is setup.

Here’s the site:

Note the dns/name servers on this page as they are different than their standard ones.

 

Would it be possible to lock him into a "child's" account? Change the main password of the main account?

 

Do you know what model router you have? Manufacturer helps to. I can try to find some of the instructions for you online. How far did you get?

 

I can understand that. But if it's what you have to do then it's what you have to do. He should be able to accept that.

 

Given the addictive nature of video games, I would unplug it until day 45. It could be like quitting cocaine and taking up drinking. Of course your spouse would have to make that call.

 

How long is his porn-free streak? Perhaps he is ready to choose to not use the browser without having it locked.

 

I agree. Porn, video games, internet, they are all things that can be highly addictive. I know for one thing my husband used video games (almost playing 18 hours straight a lot), and when he got bored of playing video games he would PMO and go back to gaming and continue doing this. When he quit PMO he quit gaming, and now games on occasion for a maximum of two hours at a time. So talk to your guy and see if he is open to going without games for a set period of time and then introduce them slowly back, that way he will be able to game a bit down the line and maybe you will have come up with a more permanent solution on the playstation and have that figured out??

 

@darknight YES!!! I love that ted talk!!! My husband is reading his book right now!

 

That's long enough that he should be past the worst urges. It might be time to talk with him and if you both feel up to it, go without a restriction. You don't want to treat him like a child, the alternative might be to trust him. But everyone's different, he might not be ready. I'd say think about it then talk to him and lay out the options.

 

Oh okay, I get that.
