A HORRIFIED mum has opened up about the moment she discovered her husband was watching porn while she was in hospital with their newborn baby.
Posting on Mumsnet, the mother revealed that a complicated delivery left both her and her little one in hospital for over a week.

As to be expected, the woman’s husband would stay by their side during the nights and “would go home in the day to shower/nap/eat/etc”.
However, the mum has now realised that her husband was watching porn during this tense time after scrolling through one of his devices.
She wrote: “After looking through some pictures on his tablet many months later, he had downloaded porn on the days I had been stuck in hospital.”
Understandably upset, the mum added: “So whilst I had a really depressing tough time in hospital with my little one, he had been going home and evidently been having a good time.

“I understand it’s a thing that some people look at, but I find it rather insulting that was on his mind while we had a tiny baby to worry about.”
Although her husband admittedly “didn’t say much” when she confronted him about it, the mother asked the forum if she was being unreasonable for being so upset.
Taking the husband’s side in the dilemma, other users said that it could have been a form of “stress relief”.
One replied: “I understand how you feel about the porn – I would be surprised and shocked too.

“However, I don’t think it’s true that it means he was off having a ‘good time’ while you were stuck in hospital – I suspect it’s actually a sign of the reverse of that, that he felt lonely and vulnerable and sought some superficial and meaningless sexual comfort.”
Another added: “Hmm.. I can see why you think it’s a bit grim. But I wouldn’t be angry. He was at home for a few hours. I think saying he was ‘having a good time’ is overstating it.”
However, another angrily wrote: “Why do you think it’s OK to stalk him through his tablet? I get amazed at the women on here who go through their partner’s phones etc… you deserve to find something you don’t like!”

But not everyone was so critical of the mum for getting upset.
“This was grossly disrespectful to you,” one user wrote. “I feel for you. You now have a child and one day that child will stumble across what the dad is doing.
“And nobody in the family will be happy about it. This stuff wrecks marriages.”
Similarly, another observed: “I think it shows just how much we’ve internalised male sexual entitlement that some posters are excusing this as a ‘stress reliever!’
“If my [darling husband] and son were both in hospital, I can’t imagine thinking ‘right, time for a w***!'”
