Dear Abby: After Discovering My Husband’s Porn Habit, I Now Feel Bad About Myself

The wife struggles with feelings of inadequacy and trust after discovering her husband's habitual online pornography use, which he claims helps relieve stress.

  • About eight months ago, the letter writer stumbled on her husband watching online porn, disrupting a marriage that had seemed fine until then.
  • Her husband later admitted habitual online viewing as a stress reliever and promised to stop, while the column notes millions of men watch porn consumed online for pleasure.
  • Feeling ashamed, she reports her small-breasted body-image concerns and trust issues about whether he has stopped viewing porn, which deepen her distress and reluctance to be seen naked.
  • Dear Abby recommended asking a doctor for a referral to a psychologist to help stop obsessing and regain perspective, noting the writer's lack of self-esteem as central to the problem.
  • The Dear Abby column notes it is written by Abigail Van Buren ; readers can contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069, and order a teen booklet for $8 t via P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
