Tearing Couples Apart
The lure of the Internet has created a whole
new breed of cheating mates, and today's
guests are experiencing its aftermath firsthand.
Pornography, sex and Internet addiction go
hand in hand for several of the men on today's
show and their wives feel helpless to make
it stop. Find out more about their stories
below:
After discovering that her husband Brian's
secret sex addiction, Kimberly says she can never
view him the same way. For years, Brian has carried
on illicit Internet chats with many women and
even gone as far as sleeping with several of
them. Kimberly's suspicions led her to
snoop through Brian's computer, upon which
she discovered his online infidelity with girls
as young as 16 years old. Though Brian recognizes
his problem and is taking steps to change, the
couple remains in a very painful place. Larry
and guest expert Dr. Roger Rhoades suggested
that as long as Stephanie accepts his behavior
without consequence, Brian will be conditioned
to continue cheating.
