divorce because of porn addiction?

Have any of you divorced your spouse because of porn addiction? He hasn't had a physical affair since very early on in our marriage (at least I have no proof...) however, he is a porn addict and I'm losing my mind over it.

He has lied so many times - including this year, when he swore he had stopped (again) and was clean for 2 months (total lie.) I finally caught him after running recover my files - and found he spent 4 1/2 hours the night before downloading porn ON HIS WORK PC.

After that I installed a keylogger. I left to visit my dying mother - very upset, of course - and when I came home I discovered the very day I left he was watching some sick lolita-type film. I could even see what parts he played over and over and over again.

He swears he loves me. I don't think I believe him anymore. He swears he's still attracted to me, but considering that he hasn't initiated sex with me in a year, I highly doubt that, too.

There is more to the relationship besides this. Like living with any active addict, the family suffers. He has little time for the kids. He treats me like dirt. Etc., etc.

Has anyone divorced a spouse because of porn addiction?

No, mine is an alcoholic. And abusive.


BUT ... addiction is addiction. It causes the addict to be a selfish liar. No matter WHAT addiction it is. If he has already cheated IRL early on, i would be he is still doing it. & even if not, the trust is GONE.
