As somebody who has participated in a fair amount of "professional help" over this subject, just thought I'd step back in again on this subject in reply to BettyBoop. Clearly you and your husband are in a moment of crises over this subject and I would suggest you seek counseling for both of you. I have always found being able to talk about this to be very helpful. But I have to warn you that you may be disappointed with the professionals judgements on this subject. In general this kink trends toward the shallow end of the perversion pool. Most psychological professionals have seen much worse than us and tend to not be alarmed by this kink. Most won't even label it a fetish for most cases because it is considered so mainstream. In my case, I saw a counselor who told me to embrace it and normalize it and it will go away (pretty sure he is wrong about that, but it was his advice), saw a sexual specialist who determined that I was in the normal range of sexual interest and was more interested in my wife's hidden traumas (and I have to say some of the people in her waiting room really scared the shit out of me), and counselor 3, a christian counselor, which is really hard to find put me in group counseling primarily so I could see I really wasn't the monster I thought I was (again a couple of those guys scared me too). It does sound to me like your husband has crossed some lines. Sharing your pictures. Involving children or worse your children. Fantasizing about "horrible things" happening to you. Obviously we are all on a spectrum and I have no idea where he really is on that spectrum, what trauma's he is trying to resolve, or even who he is. I can see where that would be very upsetting to you discovering a hidden aspect of your husband after all this time. That being said there is a dramatic difference between fantasizing and doing. We all have some darkness in our thoughts that we hide or control somehow. You get mad at the driver that cut you off and momentarily entertain the fantasy of driving them off the road, That doesn't make you crazy. Actually driving them off the road would make you crazy. Whatever coping mechanisms that allow you to not do that, even if they seem a little crazy in themselves probably are worthwhile to avoid the big crazy. Perhaps your husband is right and this in some small way helps him cope? The evidence that you have been with him for 30 years and he hasn't spent time in jail or a loony bin would suggest that it does. That is not to say there isn't a better coping mechanism. I also don't think confessing his kink to the world will help you or him. My wife had me do that as well with similar results to the shrinks. Nobody seemed that freaked out by it, nobody cut me out of their life, or brought it up ever again. Just made me miserable with no benefit that I could see beyond my wife's need to humiliate me. But talk to the counselors. Both of you.
Also I hope they don't kick you out of the room. I don't think your painting us all with a broad brush violates any of the rules here. And I don't think it hurts any of us to hear what a "normal" person thinks about us, or calling us misogynists, implying that we are sick, or even comparing us to Andrew Tate (whoever that is). This is the Internet... kind of the definition of "words can never hurt me." You are clearly hurt and understandably lashing out. Of course that is up to the people who own the room. Wish you the best of luck.
