You just found out your husband’s using internet p**n. What do you do? 1. Make sure he knows that you know he’s been using porn, and that it is completely unacceptable to you. Don’t accept a simple, “Sorry, it won’t happen again.” Instead, let him know that you consider his porn use to be serious enough to warrant action in addition to apology. 2. Insist on getting an internet filter/accountability device immediately. I’d recommend any of the following: Triple X Watch http://x3watch.com/ Be Safe Online Continue Reading
