I am writing this out of complete desperation and love for my husband. We have been together for six years and were recently married . He is battling a severe, escalating addiction to adult content and online explicit chatting that is tearing our marriage apart. He needs professional help, and he cannot stop on his own.Our intimacy in person is good, and we both seemed satisfied, but his behavior has spiraled. we spent a lot of time long-distance. During that time, not only during that time he is also tell me this when we are together and spending time together he became obsessed with dark fantasies, repeatedly pressuring me for group intimacy despite me firmly saying no.The situation escalated dramatically when I discovered he was using platforms like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and MeWe to engage in explicit chats with multiple unknown people and couples. Most devastatingly, I found out he has been messaging other men online, trying to set up encounters involving me, and sharing my private, personal photos and our couple photos with completely unknown strangers without my knowledge or consent.He has promised multiple times to quit, delete his Telegram groups, and change. He swore he cleaned everything up before our wedding. However, he broke that promise just two weeks later. On August 30th, I found notifications showing he logged back into Reddit to continue these behaviors. Whenever we have minor couples' arguments, he immediately cycles back into this coping mechanism and tells continuous lies. He also accesses my personal social media accounts to scroll through model profiles.He expresses shame and wants to stop, but he is trapped in a compulsive cycle. He also struggles with anger issues when confronted. I love him deeply and have given him chance after chance, but I am entirely helpless and emotionally shattered.Please, if anyone has navigated a situation like this, or if you can recommend a highly qualified clinical psychologist or marriage counselor who specializes in compulsive behavioral addictions and intimacy issues, please comment and write the solution and any contact that will help me. I want to help him, but I need to protect myself too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

He definitely needs counselling and also therapy.. it's not normal.. I guess it will take time to change his software it's not that easy..
It's psychological and definitely needs treatment asap before it turns into violence and abuse.
What the heck, never have I ever thought such people do exist
