Addiction??

My friend is living with her boyfriend and while they had friends over noticed that he had been looking at porn on her computer. She was totally embarrassed when her friends saw it and confronted him when they left and he said he didn't know it was a big deal and would stop, but since that day she has caught him 4 more times in a matter of weeks. It got so bad that she almost kicked him out and he continued to look even after that. What should she do? I don't think he thinks he has a problem, but obviously something isn't right or else he would be able to stop.. What do you guys think?

The fact that she asked him more than once is a sign that he's addicted. Or if he isn't addicted yet, it's an indication that he doesn't really care about her concerns. What happened when she threatened to kick him out? Was she just joking? She just invited all of her problems back into her life. His porn addiction will only get worse and she's going to be the one suffering. He's viewing it to fulfil his desires, of course he doesn't think it's a big deal because he's getting something out of it. Maybe she should cut off their Internet so that he won't have any means of viewing it and see how things work out.

It's kind of hard to live without internet so I think thats a bit too extreme. But I think she should sit and talk to him ask him why he goes on there, is he not satisfied enough with her that he needs to view it online also? Have her be serious and tell him if he views it one more time then shes really out of his life. If he does she should really leave, even if its just to teach him a lesson because he needs to be taught. Guys look at porn a lot and its a normal thing, but if he's in a relationship and his girlfriend is getting bothered by it he should be able to stop.

That's always a good way to see if someone has a problem with controlling something. Take it away or tell them, if you can't stop whatever you're doing, then I'll be forced to leave. I think you have to be really smart with your words and how you present yourself though. If you're really serious about it, then you have to let them know, and that what they're doing is actually bothering you that much. And it might be harder to accomplish if this behavior has been going on for a long time.

If its an addiction you may not be able to help him beat it by your self. You may need some professional help. An addiction isn't something he's going to be able to quit that easily, thats why its called an addiction. He's going to hate having to get professional help or going to group meetings but if he thinks your worth it then he'll probably do it. I think thats the best way to make sure he wont return to his old habits.
