One pattern I noticed among women who find out the men in their lives are watching porn is they feel powerless. They feel helpless. They remain unsure of themselves in confronting the addict and his addiction and thus, they default to blaming themselves.
Take this r/loveafterporn post as a prime example and the husband winds up telling her to "STFU and GTFO":
"My husband was just so proud this past Sunday that he hadn’t been watching porn or pleasuring himself in 3 days, counting Sunday (ladies, A LOT of addicts are going around the internet believing that 2-3 days of not masturbating and watching porn means they quit when they haven't even begun to scratch the surface of quitting).
