Empirical research suggests that married women may more commonly experience spousal pornography use as a relational attachment threat and are more likely to experience negative relational outcomes such as distress and loss of trust. The purpose of this study was to develop a grounded theory of married women's response to the discovery or disclosure of spousal pornography use. This study included the experiences of 30 married women who reported spousal pornography use as a threat to relational attachment, who chose to remain with their spouse, and who reported evidence of individual and relational healing thereafter. The research question, “How do married women describe the experience of learning of their spouse's pornography use and the individual and relationship sequelae that follow?” was explored using grounded theory methods to analyze deidentified blogpost accounts emphasizing response to a spouse's pornography use. The results describe a process model highlighting three interrelated informant categories—emotional response, mental response, and physical response—and one resultant category—behavioral response. Implications include (a) the importance of open communication regarding pornography use within relationships, (b) the necessity for individual and relational healing following betrayal trauma, and (c) the role of therapeutic intervention in shaping adaptive healing processes.

已婚妇女对配偶色情内容的反应：一个有根据的理论

实证研究表明，已婚女性可能更常见地将配偶色情内容视为一种关系依恋威胁，并且更有可能经历负面的关系结果，例如痛苦和失去信任。本研究的目的是建立一个关于已婚妇女对发现或披露配偶色情内容的反应的基础理论。这项研究纳入了 30 名已婚女性的经历，她们报告称配偶色情内容对关系依恋构成威胁，她们选择与配偶在一起，并报告了此后个人和关系康复的证据。研究问题是“已婚女性如何描述了解配偶使用色情内容的经历以及随之而来的个人和关系后遗症？” 使用扎根理论方法来分析未识别身份的博客帖子帐户，强调对配偶使用色情内容的反应。结果描述了一个过程模型，强调了三个相互关联的信息提供者类别——情绪反应、心理反应和身体反应——以及一个由此产生的类别——行为反应。其含义包括（a）关于关系中使用色情内容的开放沟通的重要性，（b）背叛创伤后个人和关系愈合的必要性，以及（c）治疗干预在塑造适应性愈合过程中的作用。
