Recently got into a new relationship with a new FP. Something that has caught my alarm is that he has a porn addiction and is hypersexual. This triggers my fear of abandonment, and, even though I’m sex repulsed currently, feel as if I have to sexually please him as to get him to stay. Of course neither his addiction nor my reaction is healthy. I have communicated to him the harm that porn addictions can cause, but stray away from the fact that it “lowkey” hurts me as well. Any advice?

      hi eddy as a people pleaser i can imagine how it can be for you. does *he* know that he has an addiction? that’s key. and if so, is he willing to get help? make sure to voice how it hurts you bc your needs are valid. also please don’t feel like you have to please him to get him to stay you’re worth more than that esp because if the relationship feels uneven that can cause (more) problems

        @jo_ While he is aware that he has this problem, he refuses to get help for it out of shame. He thinks that he can handle it himself, but he clearly can’t. Thank you btw, I appreciate it <3

      Personally I could not stay in that situation, it will surely end in disaster if he is not ready to get help and work on himself
