Question

After affair discovery, I found out my husband has been using porn throughout our marriage (2-3 times per week). We have been married 18 years and he had a 7 year affair. He has ended the affair but is reluctant to end his use of porn. I really don't want my husband looking at porn for two reasons, the first being my empathy for the actors in the industry and the second I feel it has and continues to distract from our intimacy. I am also concerned he may be addicted to it and not recognize it as an addiction. He says he is not addicted but just likes the visual fantasy of it. Can he be safe for me if he continues to use porn?
