so I have been with my current partner for almost a year and a half. and we've had an issue with him watching porn. it's caused many fights. and more than one break up. does/has anyone dealt with this and how did you deal with it? any time I confront him he gets pissed off and lies about it.

      I wasted many years of my life on a guy who did this too. Him watching porn effected me so much I was overwhelmed with suicidal thoughts and caused me to hurt myself every time he did anything. No matter how much pain he saw me in, he didn’t stop. Nothing made him stop. He claimed he did but he just got better at hiding it. Don’t waste your life on this guy. He’s not as valuable as your time. You deserve someone who respects you and won’t hurt you in this way. It’s nothing you did, you deserve way more than this. It’s an addiction he has and it’s unlikely he will try to change it. I remember when I was dealing with this I would feel so ugly I’d cry in the shower and couldn’t even look at my body or touch it without feeling horrible. It’s such a horrible feeling when someone won’t quit something that makes you hurt so badly. Just know that it is possible to find someone who won’t hurt you this way. I finally found one and it was so worth the pain of leaving my marriage. And don’t listen to people who tell you that all guys do this and to accept it. All people are not the same. We have different morals and many will do what is necessary to make their bf/gf feel loved. Hold strong to your boundaries and definitely speak positive affirmations about yourself even if you don’t believe them yet. 💕

      I feel like it's something I'm doing wrong tho that's the hardest part because it's been months since we had this issue and we had a 2 day sex binge after not doing it for like 2 weeks and the next day he watches porn like idk it feels like it's something I did

        @PrincessAutumn it is nothing you do. He is the one who has issues, not you! You are enough and you are worthy of love that is not hindered by porn. I was woth a guy like that and he manipulated me into doing things they did in porn. Which usually isn't a healthy sex life. You are worthy of your wants, needs, and boundaries. Don't let him cross your boundaries or leave out your wants and needs. If he does do this... you deserve so much better and I am sure you will find it 💕

      They will not change. It's an addiction, and once it gets to that point their brain has already been altered. You should read up on the effects porn has on the brain, relationships, and how people view women.

        @audRei agreed.
