I did not tell my kallah anything about this being that I didn’t go out until I was certain I got it under control and not part of my life anymore bh.  Wouldn’t be smart to talk to a date about this wouldn’t be appropriate and would get you a no right away.  However if you don’t have it under control for a certain amount of time that can be an issue also because you’re keeping a secret from her.  So you have to first for a nice period of time be clean and know that this isn’t an issue for you anymore and then you can go out and iyh hashem will make it easy for you. I think what I’m saying makes sense...

Big big mazel tov!!!
I am married for 4 years with kinderlach B"H and I never told my wife anything its a thing from the past and she does not need to know. The chofetz chaim writes many times about loshon hora that there is no heter to tell your wife, even if it means to keep a secret.
This may not be loshon hora but it might not be beneficial to tell her, it can actually cause alot of damage. I had the urge to tell my wife from the beginning but I did not and the more I got to know her I realized that thank god I didnt!!! Even if it is under control she will never understand how you can look at shmutz, for the same reason that most girls dont do it!!
Most rabbonim will tell you the same 
@ chaimsimcha wishing you alot of hatzlocho on your wedding may have only sholom bayis and no bad secrets to share only good moments and memories.

I agree! Don't tell your wife if it's under control and it's a thing from the past. 
Joined as a single bochur, Bh broke free (but still on watch) by using the tools on this website, therapy but mainly through getting married. 

הנותן עיניו במה שאינו שלו, מה שמבקש לא נותנים לו, ומה שבידו נוטלים ממנה

(סוטה ט, עמוד א)


ולכן אל יפול לב אדם
וכו' גם אם יהיה כן כל ימיו במלחמה זו כי אולי לכך נברא וזאת עבודתו לאכפיא לס"א תמיד 
(תניא פ"כז)

Thanks so much...for all those that feel it’s impossible you clearly see guys that were able to accomplish and move on.  It’s hard to see the big picture from the bottom of the mountain but based on guys who are climbing and are pretty high we can tell you it looks really good from up here and we would love for you guys to join us. You just have to try and hashem will help!
