Need help
My wife gave me some pics of her, because of my work schedule, to feel close to each other when we physically can’t be with each other. Does this count as failing to look at them? What are y’all’s thoughts?

I think it depends on what your goals are and how you feel. Personally, I do not think that would count as viewing porn. Your wife gave you those as gift and as a way to feel closer when you can’t be together. IMO getting pictures from someone you love is entirely different than searching up porn on the internet. I’ve been in long distance relationships, and by exchanging photos/videos it helped us feel like we could have a “sex life” even when we couldn’t be together physically. I would say it helped me stay focused on the relationship during long stretches of not being able to be together physically.
If you have read the Easy Peasy method, it addresses this very issue. I believe it said "why look/masturbate to photos of your spouse when you could just wait until you are able to have sex with them so it can be that much better?" Looking at nude photographs of your wife will still trigger the same pathways that porn does and will make it that much harder to quit porn.
Although, I do say what you is saying above. I think if you decide to look at them; make sure you are devout and strict on yourself and ensure you avoid falling into the trap of online porn again.
