DEAR DEIDRE: MY wife gave me the night of my life when she posed in some stunning underwear I bought for her.
She let me take intimate photos of her — including some nude shots — but I’m terrified our marriage is over since I posted them on the internet.
I am 38 and my wife is 36. We have been together for eight years and have a little boy aged five.
It’s stupid but I think I wanted to show off how gorgeous my wife is — and as I posted the pictures I was getting a thrill.
The images are so hot because not only does she look after herself, she is also so confident in front of the lens.
I keep looking at the pictures when I’m alone, and can’t believe I’m so lucky to have landed her.
But I really ought to know better because years ago we had a similar session and I showed some of the pictures to my mates.
She went crazy then and very nearly finished with me.
Somehow, I managed to talk her around and promised I’d never do anything like that again.
So I was already on my last chance.
She’s so angry this time, she won’t even look at me.
I’m terrified she’s planning to move out with our little boy. I really should have known better.
I have been looking at porn online since I was a teenager. I know I have a bit of a problem with it — but even though I have tried, I can’t let it go.
I am so ashamed. This will hurt my wife so much and I don’t understand why I need porn at all.
