Still struggling

I haven't posted in quite a while but thought I'd share where I'm at. I was addicted to porn for nearly 17 years and was never with a girl before I started PMO. 4 or 5 years after getting married my ED was bad. I couldn't stay hard, had zero feeling , and my wife was discouraged it was her. I finally told her everything and she nearly left. I haven't masturbated to porn in close to six years but I still have virtually no libido and still have trouble maintaining an erection during sex. She has been after me since we got married to get into better shape, I could lose 30 or so pounds.. She has tried guilting me, shaming me, and recently said she had thought about telling me she was having an affair just so I would try to get into shape for her. I've always struggled with feeling good enough and none of that helps. Since all that I've started eating better and finally plan to get into shape with the hope that I'll be more attractive for her and feel better about myself. Hopefully that will help some of the ED issues too. This is probably a long rambling post but I just needed to be able to get this off my chest. If you've read this far, thank you, and feel free to offer any advice you may have.

Something I thought I'd add... towards the end of when I was masturbating to porn I couldn't get hard from that anymore either. I would get hard just before an orgasm but that was it.

Hey Ray, thanks for sharing. Having a partner along with you for the self-improvement journey can be a great help, but at the end of the day YOU have to want this for yourself. I recommend lifting heavy weights with a program like starting strength. It's a great way to drop weight, build muscle, work off stress, and start feeling good about yourself.
