Sad couple<\/p><\/div>\n

Sex is all about intimacy<\/strong>.\u00a0If there\u2019s no intimacy in your relationship, it will begin to show in your sex life<\/i>. The problem that comes with correcting your sex life is the\u00a0time that it takes you to respond to the situation<\/i>.\u00a0Some people are reluctant to make changes\u00a0<\/b>in this area of their relationship, so\u00a0they wait for the problem to correct itself<\/b>, which it rarely does.
\n<\/span>
\nPornography might not be the main reason why the level of intimacy has declined in your relationship<\/strong>.\u00a0You should run through the list of possible issues<\/i>\u00a0that could be afflicting your sex life.\u00a0Look at the behavior of your significant other<\/i>\u00a0to see if they\u2019re doing things that aren\u2019t usual for them.\u00a0There are some warning signs<\/b>\u00a0that can tell you that there\u2019s something wrong that needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n

Getting Them Help<\/h2>\n

Before things get too out of hand, you have to\u00a0work to get your loved one the help that they need<\/b>.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if they try to tell you that they\u2019re either not looking at pornography or they have a handle on the situation.\u00a0You should\u00a0put it out there<\/a>\u00a0and say that you care about them and you want to see them get better<\/b>.\u00a0Your relationship should be more important to them than looking at pornography<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Staying on Top of the Situation<\/h2>\n

Once you have entered your loved one into a treatment program,\u00a0you have to see it through to the end<\/i>.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t let your loved one convince you that they can end their program prematurely<\/b>. There\u2019s a reason why the recovery programs for pornography take as long as they\u2019re supposed to take.\u00a0Shortening the time that\u2019s spent in them is the worst possible thing for someone\u2019s recovery<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Picking up the Pieces<\/h2>\n

At the conclusion of the recovery program,\u00a0you have to find a way to\u00a0rebuild your trust in your loved one<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Your love your significant other and you should do whatever it takes to get back to where you were<\/i>\u00a0before pornography became a part of your lives.\u00a0This process might require you to invest a lot more time than you might have originally anticipated<\/b>.<\/p>\n

As long as your significant other is willing to put in the proper amount of work,\u00a0you should reciprocate their effort<\/i>. The road back to normalcy needs to involve both sides putting in an equal amount of work.<\/p>\n

Returning to a Sexual Bond<\/h2>\n

You should wait to return your relationship to its sexual form until you feel like you\u2019re comfortable<\/b>. It takes a long time before you will get to a point where you trust your significant other in a way where you will want to get intimate with them.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t rush the situation<\/i>\u00a0and hope that everything will work out.\u00a0If you feel like you need to wait a while longer, your significant other needs to understand how you\u2019re feeling<\/b>.<\/p>\n

They were the ones that put you in that position to begin with. They have to cooperate with your recovery process because\u00a0you were nearly as much of a victim of pornography<\/b>\u00a0as they were.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
