    Not yet, I found them last night and told him I wanted to be alone for a while, I slept in the spare room and hes at work at the moment. Hes not allowed personal calls at work so only chance I will get to speak to him is tonight.

    Talking to him when you found them would have saved you a lot of heart ache, I have no idea what his reasons could be but if there was any hint of a replay of previous problems you could be arranging to part....

  • His behaviour isn't typical male behaviour. Most guys will watch !!!!!! or ogle pictures of pretty women, but it sounds like he has an addiction to pornography.

    Is there anything we can't be "addicted" to now? :D
  • Downloaded pics or pics he has asked women to send him?

    !!!!!! pictures downloaded from various sites.

    No, you're implying that its ultimately her fault for his behaviour and that is completely wrong. He's an adult, he decides what he considers right and wrong and only chumps blame their behaviour on others.
    How does it imply it is her fault, where have I said that as I certainly do not think it! Ok, rephrase then, if a man or a woman is happy with their partner then they would not do anymore than look, is that better?

    OK, better than interaction with individual women, but if he is being secretive about it, I would have an issue too.

    I am very relaxed about !!!!!!, it can play a healthy part in a relationship whether viewed alone or as a couple. I don't think !!!!!! is the issue here - but rather the fact that he is taking the proverbial, he got away with it before in that you took him back, so he thinks he can do it again.

    I'd be showing him the door :o

    I think if it was just the !!!!!! pics without the history, I wouldn't be worried. But with his prior behaviour I can completely understand why you're upset! Get it out in the open and listen to what he's got to say. Hopefully as he was honest with you once he'll be honest again.

    Maybe I'm in the minority but I'd find that pretty normal. Men like to oogle pictures of women, the same as some women like to look at pictures of men like Michael Buble.

    The other stuff - not on.

    To be honest, I'd be gutted if I found out my OH was looking at !!!!!! pics. I would feel totally inadequate and it would just show that I clearly wasn't up to his standards.

    I certainly wouldn't tolerate it either - I want a man who likes me for who I am, and me being enough for him!

    ps - I have no objection to !!!!!!, but it's something for single people, or for couples to watch together. Definitely not for a man in a relationship to be watching on his own - that's just creepy!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
