I have made it very clear from early in our 20+ yr. marriage that this is not acceptable (Radical Honesty)...My hope is that the monitoring won't be necessary, that I will get bored with what a great husband I have. So far, I have been disappointed as far as the porn goes. Twenty years later you still hope monitoring won't be necessary?  Twenty years!! Do you hear yourself?

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

"My hope is that the monitoring won't be necessary"
Monitoring will be necessary as long as he has the means to watch porn. You must remove the temptation. That is the solution.
