The big thing is with his lack of caring about our life, it's hurting how I feel about him....and it's also hurting my sex drive. I don't want to make love to him because I feel like it's not me he's making love to anymore. Is that crazy??

No it's not crazy, I feel exactly the same way. I don't want to sleep with him anymore! Evenn if he sometimes want to. I try to go out or stuff like that.
But I'm at the beginning of all this. My H doesn't buy porn but he watches them on my computer online. Freepornos on google. they are short but you see naked people on it. maybe your husband could do this, I mean but it wouldn't change the way you feel but the money issue!!!

This is all unscientific rubbish. The reason people get hooked on porn is that it raises the availability of certain mood regulating brain chemicals that make a person feel good. The same thing happens to alcoholics, drug abusers, people who eat too much and even certain kinds of thrill seekers and those who love to do hard exercise.

People born with an inherited inability of the brain to use these chemicals (serotonin, dopamine and others) properly, suffer with a dysregulated mood state which often results in depression and anxiety. These people are particularly susceptible to acting out as a way to self medicate their mood.

I don't get it ??? My now separated spouse looks at many different women having sex on porn sights, has porn Cd's he watches, has web cam sex with a woman that lives out of state,that while out of state for work he had an affair with, has had an affair with a woman he works with here, has had an affair with a woman in a nearby suburb, How in the world could he have and keep that many connections. WTF kind of connection is it ??? And how could anyone feel connected to someone that is truly addicted to many for sex? unless they have the same f@#&ed up sense of connection! I truly don't see any connection just ramblings of nothing sex!!!
