So...on Monday afternoon I felt it imparative to respond to a post I saw on one of the mommy boards, (First time Mommies between 18-25). A girl asked for advice regarding her boyfriend, because he was sneaking around to watch porn and she felt like she couldn't trust him.
I responded and really watched what I said. Mind you, I wanted to say, "You are being absolutely ridicuolous, get over it" but I was nice(r) about it and said something along the lines of,
When my husband was married for the first time, his wife was very anti-porn. Because of this, he had to sneak around behind her back to watch it. I believe that because there was such a huge taboo on porn in his house, he found it more appealing to watch.
I don't personally have an issue with porn, and my husband NEVER watches it. Even if it is my suggestion, he doesn't find it interesting.
(Generally) Guys are going to watch porn. It's almost ingrained in their psyche. If it's not porn, it's a stripclub or some other form of female entertainment. It doesn't mean he doesn't love you, it's just male instinct. You have to stop and ask yourself if this is worth breaking the relationship over? Does it bother you so much that you don't love him anymore?
Or can you step back and ratonalize the behavior. A little porn once in awhile when you aren't around vs. him sleeping with someone else (or some other undesireable behavior). It's up to you.
This isn't exactly how I worded it. I was respectful and told her that she needed to make her decision based on how strongly she felt porn was such a terrible thing. I didn't ridicule her for feeling this way, although part of me wanted to.
I went back to see her response, and the post was deleted! lol.
This website is out of control, seriously.

That site has deleted three of my journals, and then putting one of them back, but in the wrong order (at first) and then fixed it the day after I found out. They deleted my journals because I was discussing their policies, yada yada.
It's terrible that we're having to be censored there; at least we have these blogs here, right?
