I am 25 years old and have been married for almost 3 years. I am very happy and have 2 wonderfull kids. My problem is last weekend my wife was using my phone to text her sister. I forgot that i had some porn picture messages my brother-in-law sent me. I have never ben a big fan of porn, but hes getting a divorce from his wife and gets kinda lonely, so i just reply with thats funny or disgusting. Just trying to be friendly. I dont want him to think because hes getting divorced we cant still be friends. Anyway my wife absolutely hates porn, so that night i erased my messages,not to hide anything just to not get in a fight. The next day she got on my phone and said that there where fewer messages than the day before, and asked why I deleted them. First i told her that i didnt, which was stupid I know. But then I admitted that it was just porn I didnt want her to freak out about.Now she doesnt believe me,she thinks i erased them to cover up a affair or something. I have never cheated on her . now she want divorce

Time helps here. Make all you messages available to her from this point on, account for all your time and money, and this will likely turn out okay.

Pornography can be troublesome for married people, I guess it depends on the religious commitments in your family. Go ahead and apologize for the error and see what the results are. I can see her anger if you present yourself as a christian and toy with porn but it sounds like you were merely being passive about the messages on your phone. Some married people just look for ways and excuses to escape what they feel are bad marriages and seem to find things to use against the other, valid or not. Ask yourself if you are happy in your mariage and if your wife still finds you as an attractive man and good father. It takes understanding and fleibility to be married today a lot more than yesteryear, just more communication methods and information sources now, some good some not so good. Hope things work out.

cboss, just tell her the truth and determine that you will always tell her the truth. 

I'm sorry that she feels so badly that she is threatening divorce.  That is truly a slap in the face for trying to be friendly to your BIL.  Show her that you are honest and practice integrity in all that you do. 

You can weather this storm but it will take a little work on your part.  Let her know in every way possible that you love her and that you were simply trying to help out someone who is himself hurting and lonely.  That may not have been the way to do it because it could ultimately move you in a direction that she clearly despises. 

I hope for your sake that she understands and moves beyond this faux pas on your part.  With your genuine commitment to continue to show her that she is loved and there is nothing to worry about I believe that she will come around.

If you give her no other reason not to trust you, and reassure her that she's the only one for you, then this should resolve over time.
