It’s tough to navigate this kind of situation when both partners have different needs and expectations around sex. I can see that you don’t view your porn consumption as a big issue, but your wife’s feelings are valid, and it’s causing her a lot of distress. When you’re in a long-term relationship, it’s not just about the physical act of sex, but also about building a strong emotional and sexual connection with your partner. It sounds like this is where things have become a bit unbalanced.
Even if you think porn isn’t a problem, it’s important to recognize that if it’s affecting your wife’s emotional well-being, then it’s worth reevaluating. Have you thought about trying to spice up your sex life in ways that feel fulfilling for both of you? Sometimes, couples can get stuck in a routine, and a little exploration of new dynamics could really help bridge the gap. If your wife isn’t as interested in sex, there might be things you can try to make it more enjoyable for her—without the pressure of constant performance.
Masturbation is normal, but if you feel like it’s the only way you can get off, it might be worth exploring why that’s the case. Is it just convenience? Or is it a deeper issue about how you connect with your wife sexually? Working with a counselor could help you explore these questions and find a healthier balance.
The real key here is finding a solution where both your sexual needs and your emotional needs are being met, without either partner feeling neglected or replaced by porn. It’s definitely possible to find that balance, but it might require both partners to be open, honest, and willing to make changes.
