I read this book when I was working as a therapist to help a client whose husband was struggling with pornography addiction. It had good ideas for how to help and support the struggling spouse. It had specific applications, which I think can be helpful when you are in this situation and may be feeling paralyzed as to how to proceed and handle things. Written by a licensed therapist who is experienced in treating addiction.

This is a secular book but addresses pornography in an appropriate way. The authors address the issue as "wrong" - most secular sources do not, just "problematic"; they can't actually define the behavior as morally wrong.

This book is direct and to the point. It does not hide. If you are struggling, it will force you to address things that 1) you haven't been, and 2) you didn't realize were part of a discernable pattern.

If your spouse struggles, get this book. It will make the issue clear and confirm your conviction that his behavior is wrong - you have probably been blamed for being too sensitive to this point - and give you insight into the causes, the tricks men use to hide, steps toward resolution, and a roadmap of what lies ahead.
