it seems to me that if you expect your spouse to be EVERYTHING to you, you will end up very unhappy. People need to care for themselves first and accept great companionship from their spouse or friends but nobody can be everything to someone else just like nobody is perfect and nobody can read anybody else’s mind or fix everyone problem. If you expect your partner to be superhuman and be your ALL you’re asking for a codependent unhealthy relationship… and a sad social life.

I agree that cheating is wrong but looking at other people? even naked ones online? Please. Talk about self-sabotage if people think that’s cheating. If that is cheating than yes, let’s generalize, if looking is cheating. EVERYONE DOES CHEAT.

Oh and I think you’ll find in most marriages it’s the men that complain there isn’t enough sex going on, so the argument that men are neglecting women to look at porn is sort of ridiculous.

I’ll agree that if that IS happening, it’s wrong, but it is not the norm.

The problem with saying that looking at porn is the same as cheating is… listen for it, ladies… every guy looks at porn.

Seriously.

You can work yourselves up into a feminist tizzy about how degrading it is, you can go on Oprah to complain about it, whatever. The fact remains, every guy looks at porn.

Now if you want to tell him over and over again “looking at porn is the same as cheating on me”, maybe you can work out the implications of what effect that might have on his behavior. I’d say, being a guy, that it’s a hell of a lot more likely to make him cheat on you than it is to make him stop looking at porn.

Maybe someday women can try to accept men for what they are instead of forcing them into some role they have invented for them — which oddly enough is what they are always accusing US of doing to them.

I worked at a divorce law firm in Virginia for some time. While divorce laws differ from state to state, porn addiction is used as evidence of neglect. It can net you huge spousal/child support awards. Obviously the casual porn surfer doesn’t apply here, but if someone spends all of his/her time watching porn and not attending to the marriage bed, it’s a type of abuse.

By the way, unless you extensively study computers for a living…it’s pretty easy to see just how much/what type of porn someone is into, even when that person thinks they have hidden it well.

Ew to the swinger site bit. That will definitely get him in trouble too. Christie needs to find non-sleazeball guys. I do think the case should be kept private. I think all divorces should stay quiet. It isn’t anyone else’s business, and I have seen what it does to the children when the parents start going in for the vindictive kill. It isn’t fair to them at all.

Why do women justify men with addictions to porn? It is in our nature to be sexual, sure. We are capable of higher thought however. If a man (or woman) spends that much time taking care of his or herself, then they shouldn’t be married to begin with!

you people are nuts!!!

for starters,, it seems to be all you guys are focusing on,, “INTERNET PORN”
but I am sure that is not the reason the marriage is over,,
that reason would be the 18 year old girl he was dating and the swingers clubs he went too,,
that man is gross and a sicko,,
it’s not all about porn,, geezz you knuckleheads are only referring to the porn,, what kind morons are you??
he dated a girl 18 and he is a swinger,, he cheated on his wife,, he is a jerk,, if it was only internet porn they would still be together!!
you guys are all focusing on the internet porn because you are taking such offense to this because you are a bunch of dirty pervs,,

Porn is degrading to the women involved- although they may not realise it at the time- and it is certainly degrading for someone who is waiting for a partner who doesn’t come to bed because they are too busy jerking off over a computer screen. Besides- looking at pictures of naked women is not the same as trawling swinger sites.

This man sounds like a complete jerk as do all those others who say ‘well everybody does it, it is ‘normal’- I have had this conversation with male friends too, and believe me- many do NOT think it is ‘normal’, I hope she chooses better next time.

However it would be a shame for the kids having all this in the public eye- bad enough they have a moron of a father without the whole world knowing about it.

Men like to look at naked women, I get that. Don’t blame ‘em. But porn is some else and more often than not, destroys most of the women IN those films that the people are watching and which you think aren’t causing harm. Porn does cause harm, you just don’t think about it. I know there are women who say they’ve come out of it fine, but I think for most of the girls and women in porn, they’re irrevocably harmed. Debbie Downer stuff, but I’m not letting this “porn isn’t harmful” crap go by w/o comment. If a partner is watching porn, I would have to question what’s going on. AND, there’s a difference between porn and erotica. Try reading this book and see how you feel: Not for Sale: Feminists Resisting Prostitution and Pornography,

After reading these posts, it seems as though the walking Barbie doll known as Christie lacks both common sense and intelligent girlfriends! As a whole, the comments here would be beneficial for any mother in the midst of a divorce: everyone has regrets, wounded pride, justifiable disgust at a spouse who cheats…but a mother’s first duty is protecting her children from further misery. Only a selfish woman woud do otherwise. Please excuse me for sounding arrogant, and thank you for the insights.
