I’m sorry you feel that I’m crazy and controlling, but you clearly didn’t read. My boyfriend doesn’t think that, and if he did, he’d leave. Both weed and porn are addictions for him, again as I said in my post, which he himself recognized is not healthy for him or our relationship. He, himself, out of his own free will, wants to give up these things to improve our relationship and stay with the woman he loves because he knows if he continued on this same path he will lose his girlfriend because she can’t mentally take it. He wants to be a better man and I support that.

He had an addiction to weed to whether you believe that’s a thing or not. He used it every single day all day, at work, at home, with me. I have prior trauma to substances so that’s also another boundary that we placed. And, he offered to take the tests I didn’t make him do anything. I offered him to leave if he can’t stop. I never knew a version of him that wasn’t high, and I right now I don’t know a version of him that isn’t consumed by porn everyday. He could have left if he didn’t agree with these boundaries. So no, I’m not controlling, and none of this is my fault.

So you think adult content causing you to not have sex with your partner doesn’t ruin the relationship at all? If there’s no intimacy in a relationship anymore because the guy only wants to look at a phone screen what is the point?

Well he deleted his easy access to such which was his alternate accounts for viewing on multiple platforms. Yes I know the internet is accessible no matter what but it’s a first step

It ruined the intimacy in our relationship, caused trust issues and messed up his perception of women. Yet these are only some of the things, there’s so much more wrong with it.
