My husband says he doesn't watch porn or masturbate ever. Is this possible?

Q.   All I ever read on this site is how men use porn. If a guy says he isn't using porn then he is lying. I read a post just the other day for a woman who wanted a man who didn't cheat, watch porn, look at other women, etc. It got tons of replies all ...

A.   31 January 2013: So what you are saying is that neither of you are masturbating or having sex and your question is about his lying?! Doesn't sound like much of a party round your house ;) But as long as you are both happy. If he says he hasn't done it and given no r... (read in full...)

Q.   Mod note: I added she was the waitress to make the question more clear. I found a receipt for a swarovski necklace in the sale in my husbands week day apartment. When I asked him about it, after a few laughs, he said that he goes to a chinese ...

A.   31 January 2013: Just make it clear nothing will happen till he splits up with his girlfriend. I assume there is nothing from stopping him ending it. People often line the next person up while they are still in a relationship, this could be what he's doing with you?... (read in full...)

A.   29 January 2013: I think you know what is going on. You feel you hurt her by not showing her the love she deserved and that she is struggling to forgive you for that despite the changes you have made. Sometimes we hurt people too much and they can never get over it. ... (read in full...)
