My Husband Watches Porn and Ignores Me; Help!

23 August, 2022
Q I have been married for 22 years, my husband has always had issues with communicating with me. He loves talking to his friends and family. Spends most of his time on the mobile, and watches porn. I have now had enough and asked him to leave me, but he totally ignores what I say, and does not care about anything. He does not want to change, is stubborn and childish. We have 2 girls, and they see his behavior. I pray everyday for him to change or move on in life so we can live peacefully. I have told his dad he is irresponsible, and this made no difference. Please, can you advise me?

Answer

If your husband is addicted to pornography, first he needs to work on that in therapy.

Then you can deal with your relationship with a marriage counselor.

If he is unwilling to change and listen to you, try to find a temporary place to stay with your daughter until he takes your concerns seriously. 

What else can you do if your spouse does not care about you?
