Is viewing pornograhy the same as having an affair

After dealing with my spouse's addiction to porn I can honestly say that it is just as destructive as an affair. The Internet becomes his mistress and the ramifications on the sexual bonding that is meant to be celebrated in a marriage is utterly destroyed. Your sickened by the choice of imagery that stimulates your mate. Trust is thrown right out the window. The betrayal causes such damage to a woman's psyche that it takes years to rebuild. You question how someone who professes to love you so much can reject you on such a deep level. And who is this stranger you married? The pain is just as intense and wounds cut just as deep.
