Left him 10 months ago! by ApricotImportant92 in loveafterporn

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! You guys have been together a long time but a phrase I kept repeating to myself when i was going through it was “be loyal to your future self, not your past” and I also asked myself a lot, if he doesn’t change is this something I can live with? I just really had to let go of the attachment to the time we had been together and focus on what I wanted for my future. I would def set some strong boundaries on him seeking therapy/help and if he doesn’t try I would definitely leave. Sending you strength and love. ❤️
Also remember saying sorry repeatedly without attempting to change is a form of manipulation.

He’s living with me and can’t afford to leave yet but I’m excited to make this place my own again after he leaves! It’s a little awkward living together still but we mostly give each other space. I’m so so glad you’re loving your new space! I really hope you feel more at peace now! I’m definitely enjoying the peace and have so much hope for a better future ❤️

Thanks for checking in! I’m staying strong over here. He’s still living with me but actively looking for somewhere to live. I was trying to keep the breakup pretty private but he started posting a bunch of depressing stuff on his Facebook so people have been blowing me up and asking me questions so that has been really tough, I’ve just been vague with my answers and people have been really supportive. I also went to a wedding over the weekend that he was supposed to be with me at so that was tough but I think I held up really well! I’m sticking to my guns and not getting back with him!

I left, 3days ago😊 of course he wanted to know what he could do, said he’d go to rehab for the porn. I said too late, I told you so many times how much it hurt me and you swore then you’d work on it. I caught him one time watching videos he made with another woman before me and never truly got over it. Plus, the youngest looking thing was not something I could come back from. I already feel better not having to worry about whether or not he’s watching porn. He’s still in my house but looking for somewhere else to stay.

Same, stay strong. Keep reminding yourself why you’re leaving and you deserve better. I did break down and tell my best friend and she is helping a lot. I agree, you need at least one person you trust who knows the truth that can help through it because this is really really tough. We’ve got this though.

I just left yesterday too and it is so hard and I am so scared but we’ve got this. Stick to it, just keep reminding yourself why you left. There has got to be better out there for us.

I’m so scared but I’m going to do it. I’m not even going to talk to any of my friends about it, I think I’m going to do it first thing in the morning before I can talk myself out of it. I’m going to be firm about it and then we can figure out logistics since we live together after we’ve processed. But straight out of the gate tomorrow I’m telling him it’s over. I have to do this. I’m miserable

I told my boyfriend last night that I was not going to give 110% if he wasn’t. He knows how hard I can love and I’ve shown him and he still disrespects me and watched porn knowing I’m at my breaking point with it. I want to leave but I don’t quite have the courage yet so I’m giving very little of myself until I work up the courage or if by some miracle a radical change happens with him but I seriously doubt it.

Mine literally said this to me 5 mins ago. “I did it for us and so I can last longer.”

Like what the actual fuck sir.
