My ex-husband just told me last night that he has never admitted this to anyone else but he is addicted to pornography and has been for 16 years. I have no idea what to do with this newfound information. I had no clue whatsoever and I know no one else does. Do I do anything to help ? He told me this and then he tells me he can't be with me because he always hurts me and because he is afraid he can't change. I am torn because I know he is addicted to pornography and to OW and I can't help him but I am supposed to be his HELP mate as his wife. Yes we got divorced in March but the papers have not seemed to mean much. On a side note, while discussing this horrible secret, OW called MY cell phone and asked (nicely) if I was still talking to ex-WS and I said yes and she asked me if she could talk to him a minute!?!??!?! I told her no, that if she wanted to talk to me that that would be fine but she would not be talking to my ex-WH on my phone with me sitting there. That I would not have it . So she said ok and hung up. I feel like I am in a nightmare and can't wake up.

He needs therapy for sexual addiction.
Look for books on this subject and share them with him. Read them as well, since it may help you decide exactly what you want to do.

As I said in the other threads.....be a friend and guide him in the proper direction for help, and let it go. He is an EX husband.
