    This is something I've noticed everywhere, not an issue particular to this forum. But I hear people talking about building up the courage to mention something to their husband/wife, or asking friends how best to raise a certain point, or even mention not discussing something with a spouse. I am single so I don't have experience in this, but for married couples, shouldn't each person be able to discuss ANYTHING with her/his spouse? Shouldn't there be nothing that is off-topic? How does it come about that spouses start to not be completely open? The only way I can understand this is if for some reason early in the marriage there were some issues and open communication never became a norm, and then it continued along.

    I have been married for 15 years and yes, ideally, nothing in love should be of the table for discussion. My wife knows of my struggles because I want her help. It also does not hurt that she is drop dead beautiful and does not feel threatened by porn stars. My guess is that not all women would feel that way and bringing this in to the open could cause the fappers situation to go from bad to worse. Should there be honesty, yes, but pick your battles. Couples hide things mostly to avoid confrontation. Hope that helps.
