No, but this is the hard part. You need to support him. Porn addiction is harder to beat than drugs. It's easier to obtain and it's quite often free. Understand right off the bat that he will fail. Through failure he will gain a little strength. Then fail again, and the cycle continues. The standard answer most wives give is "just don't tell me if you look at it, and keep it out of the house." This is a perfect setup for failure. You need to be there right with him. Checking on the computer in it's history, looking under the mattress (Hmmm I wonder who else may have dealt with this? lol) The biggest problem is the free porn on the Internet. You need to sit down with him and set some ground rules. Like he doesn't get on the computer after 7pm. Plus he doesn't go on it when he's the only one in that room. You should also move the computer to a major traffic spot in the house. This way he won't sneak around and hope he doesn't get caught. For each failure the rules get tighter, until the computer is thrown out.

Porn addiction is a very serious thing that ruins relationships, and begins to ruin all aspects of a person's life. Like all other addictions, porn addicts will start to be consumed by their addiction. That means that he will lose his job (has he already?), and eventually lose you.
These are the symptoms of true addiction. If it's not to this extent, he's not a true addict. If it's to a lesser degree, you need to talk it over with him, and maybe get some counseling.
If, after reading this, you are still convinced that he is a porn addict, the only way he will break it is through a twelve step program. If he's serious about wanting to get help, do some research on 12 steps in your area and get him enrolled. That is the ONLY way that you will beat his addiction.

I divorced over porn addiction. he swore to me on our marriage that he was over it....over and over and over again. He would get up during the night and while I was gone during different times. He was even chatting with women he knew and his ex. men like that can't be trusted in any way. You can try counseling but most couselors will tell you it is up to the man to stop it. I have seen some bad stuff out there and I knew that I would not live the rest of my life living with someone who could not even be trusted. I feel for you.
