    Hello,
    I’ve had different types of porn in my life since as far back as I can remember. I can remember the first time I masturbated as a child and it has been a part of my life ever since.
    I quit watching “intercourse” porn probably around two months ago, but did not quit looking at skimpy pictures or videos of women that I did not consider a form of porn addiction, because it was not intercourse. I now recognize that as being completely wrong. I quit doing that about a month ago when I handed over my personal phone to my wife to get it out of my life. I also wanted to give up social media where there was opportunity for “triggers” and I also just wanted to have more control over what I did with my free time.
    This has all had an impact on my relationship with my wife of almost 20 years. She recently went through my personal phone since I handed it over to her and saw that I had been looking at skimpy pictures of women after I told her I had given up porn and masturbation. She now says that she is done and wants to separate. I truly want to be the man she deserves and to continue a life with her.
    Is there any advice for repairing the damage I have caused her?
