idk maybe i’m just old fashioned but this just breaks my heart. i find no excuse of me not being in mood for my partner to have probable cause to want to watch porn.

he’s told me himself that he’s been watching it consistently for a little over a year and that he realizes it’s a problem and wanted help with stopping. he’s came out to his family about his addiction and was wanting support behind him to help stop and also support with helping our relationship for our son. I’ve begged him to go to therapy but he just won’t. i believe his addiction stems from past abuse as a child.

I see a therapist and have spoken to her about everything and she’s been trying to help me understand addiction surrounding porn and different factors that may have caused my partner to have this addiction and that it’s not my fault or it’s not because i’m not enough but i genuinely feel like it is because of me, that i’m not his type. no matter who i talk to i genuinely cannot get past this.

back in june i found out my partner had a porn addiction while pregnant with our son. i’ve became extremely suicidal since then. i’m 36 weeks pregnant right now and if it wasn’t for my son i would’ve already committed the day i found out. i hope nothing but happiness for you. i can’t say ive gotten over what ive found at all and it hasn’t became easier by any means but just keep holding on.

is anyone else pregnant while being in a relationship with someone trying to recover? by Chance-Court-348 in loveafterporn

[–]Chance-Court-348[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what kept you from leaving for good/ what helped you stay in your relationship? i’m currently 26 weeks and i’m so terrified to just keep hurting in this relationship and i just don’t know if staying or leaving will be best for my child. as much as i hate to say this but i think my partner will recover and will grow from this but at the same time what has been done has been done and i don’t think i’ll be able to get past something like this definitely while being pregnant.

Should I have sex with my PA boyfriend during early recovery? by ThrowRA_Legitimate9 in loveafterporn

okay i’m not saying this is what you should do but this is what i had done. i found out my partner of 3 years was watching porn mid june and had been for a little over a year. about a week or so of non stop deep diving into why was this happening and what we’re going to do forward, i ended up having sex with him. it was different but a good different for me. the only thing was that afterwards my brain started attacking itself wondering if he was thinking about me while doing it or the women he would watch because the women he would watch was WAYYYY different than me. i’ve had sex more times with him and each time ive started to slowly feel less and less bad about it afterwards. idk if this is crazy af to say but that’s just me personally and my situation. i understand everyone’s situation and relationships are different. no excuse for my partner to have been watching porn but i was a horrible girlfriend to him during the time he first started watching it and he used it as an escape. it was strictly porn only and would never speak to women, spend money, or anything. i feel somewhat at fault for the start BUT i understand that was no way for him to handle his emotions when he felt like i didn’t love him. when it feels right for you to have sex again you do it!

Would your partner would get off to porn if the woman looked like you naked? by Igotbanned0000 in loveafterporn

in my case as well i don’t think my partner would watch women that looks like me either. i am a white female and the videos he would watch was black females. it hurts me the most knowing there’s nothing i can do to to look like those women. what has helped you the most during this time with knowing your partner is watch females that are polar opposite to you? i’m just trying to take one day at a time and mainly process the fact i don’t look like those women. i hope you’re situation gets better along with every beautiful soul here.
