Was I wrong to ask my husband to leave? I'm 8 months pregnant.?

I have only been married 14 months. I discovered my husband had a porn addiction about 3 months into our marriage. I put my foot down he swore it wouldn't happen again. I found him looking at porn in June and again yesterday. Certainly, these weren't the only times, just the only times he got caught. He wasn't only watching, I won't get in to the specifics but I am sure you can imagine what he was doing. This affected our sex life considerably. We used to have a great sex life now we get together once a week if I insist. This makes me feel terrible. Especially since I am about to deliver his baby. He made no excuses and gave no apologies, he just gathered his stuff, asked for a hug said good bye to my other kids including my oldest daughter which he adopted (long story why the other kids weren't adopted yet). He is also a big flirt and lies about his communications with other women. I am hurting but feel cleansed with him gone. Oh and I am supposed to be on bed rest due to my blood pressure and could have sure used his help here but I can't stand his face. I am so hurt.

Update:

Fyi, I think most men would have been happy with our previous sexual relationship. I don't understand why he'd rather be with himself than me.

I have gained a lot of weight since I have been pregnant. But geez wouldn't a man rather be with a fat pregnant woman that play with himself??

Update 2:

I don't think porn is normal. I think it has evolved from the days when my dad would by the occasional magazine to being everywhere now. I beleive it robs couples of intimacy. I am the prime example. It's not right in my opinion.

    Im not going to lie, I look at porn. It is not a daily thing. Believe you me I would rather play with my wife then look at some fake girls. I think pregnant girls are the most beautifully women. They just look so happy. So he is an idot.

    Different strategies for dealing with different problems. Most addictions must reach a low point before the person wants to turn it around. Porn is not Natural. It is an overload for a man particularly. Like a sugar high in a kid(?)

    We get confused between fantasy and reality, but if you are patient, we see the error of our ways.

    well in my opinion you did the right thing in kicking your husband out. he needs serious help with this addiction and if he cant or wont get help while your seperated i would file for divorce and file for immediate custody of the baby. sorry this happened when your so close to giving birht i hope that oyu have close friends and family who can help you out. you will need all the help you can get and dont let your pride get in the way. hopefully your husband will get help and show that he is trying and come to his senses soon.

    my thoughts on porn is that its normal every now and then but if its to the point where the person prefers porn over a real live person that is there and wanting to be intimate then there is a problem. i was in your boat 5 yrs ago pregnant with my first child and my fiance preferred porn over being intimate with me his excuse was he was disgusted and repulsed by my body and was scared that he would hurt the baby so i was celibate for 10 months not by choice though my fiance was just scared and addicted to porn. i had confronted him and told him how him watching porn 3 or 4 times a day was hurtful to me and i woudl appreciate it if he would stop and attempt to be with me a real person the one who is about to give birht to his kid. well he cut down from 3-4 times a day to once a day and when he didnt even attempt to have a physical relationship with me i wrote him a note and told him i was leaving flying back home to have the baby and i do not want to hear from him or see his face until he got his **** together.

    YEA that was a dose of reality for him cuz that same day he called me and apologized and said he will stop all together and i told him no i have no issue with you watching porn its just the fact that you prefer porn over me and that needs to change real quick.

    5 yrs and 3 kids later his addiction stopped though he watches porn every now and then which i dont mind and our sex life has improved (though i would like a few things to change lol like getting our kid stheir own room lol so we can have more fun)

    okay men like porn but this man obviously has an addiction....this isn't a normal guy looking at porn every once in a while. he needs help before anything will get better. I think you did the right thing

    I dont like to answer in a combative way but you really need a good slap in the face about men and life...

    You are 8 months pregnant, fat, insecure and controlling. Your man loves you but isnt attracted to you right now. GET USED TO IT. Instead you drove him nuts, attempted to humilate him. Now he is gone, as I would be too.

    Porn IS normal. It has been for all time and it isnt going to go away. It has nothing to do with you or your worth. The vast majority of men use it at some point or another and to paint us as evil for rubbing one out now and then is closeminded and stupid.

    Call him up. tell him you were wrong and close minded. beg him to come back and take care of you and let the man have his private time without molesting him.

    I think that looking at porn is totally normal, however if it is interfering with your sex life that is a huge problem.

    I think this man needs help.

    Look again at what you said up above about "feeling cleansed" there is a reason you feel that way. It is because you made the right choice.

    You must remember that porn addiction is just as nasty, just as capable of messing up a mind as any drug or alcohol addiction. Those people who create and market porn, they know this and they market their drug well!

    Be firm with him because you love him, not because you despise him - by despising him, you will just drive him further away from you, and it may be the love you two share which can be the only thing to cure him.

    I agree with you 100%.

    Porn is NOT normal, it makes a woman feel de-graded and less than "enough" for her partner!!

    I realise that 90% of men (and some) women enjoy it but it turns love-making and intimacy into CHEAP SEX!!

    It revolts me!!

    You did the right thing

    Bravo!
