If you stayed, did anyone have a sexual relationship that worked? I'm struggling, I just think about what he was looking at/getting turned on by? And I feel sick. Has anyone ever really got over that?

I agree with Lee. Our relationship is different, sex is different. We communicate more and it's not just all about the ending. Once you have got to the root of his addiction and understand how it gets to the point it did it helps. It took a long time but we got there x

I'm just 7 months in, but so far we haven't got a working sexual relationship. I haven't been interested in anything remotely sexual, not even kissing. Although he does still give me a 'peck' when leaving. I was pregnant with out second when we first got the knock, and bled for almost 10 weeks so that was used as an excuse during pregnancy. Then since having the baby obviously I've been healing and busy with baby and toddler so that is the excuse now. I haven't told him I'm not interested. I just can't imagine being intimate now knowing what he's done. I'm not sure if that will change or not

The very thought of sex makes me feel ill at the moment. What has happened has taken any thought of pleasure orlovw away. I don't think I will ever be able to love again. Husband trapped by vigilantes and now many miles away. I know how that he was obsessed with sex, secretively, the thought that he was meeting women for sex....I don't think I will ever get over it.

Hello ladies, this is a very personal topic and everyone is different. For me sex and making love are 2 very different things.

we are 20 months post knock and 8 weeks since sentencing.....i would say that it is only recently that we have started making love....we have talked and talked.....and talked some more about his porn addiction and how that effected our sex life before the knock and how it has effected us since.

I just know that he isnt a bad person he did a really really bad thing.

Hope this helps

sending big love and hugs stay strong ladies xxxx
