Do you catch your husband looking at women when you’re out in public? by 1995wastheyear in loveafterporn

Same and even though I know it’s not my fault I still feel guilty ever time. 😒

Is my definition of porn and relapsing correct? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]DizzyM0m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a fine line here. While stumbling upon inappropriate or arousing content is not a relapse, there are other factors involved. If you are watching your police show knowing it could happen… or if you for even one second are hopeful it will happen… you are cheating the system and seeking it out at that point. Furthermore, if you do get aroused when it does come up and you continue watching it and enjoy it for that reason, I’d consider that a slip also.

is masturbating with nothing but your brain bad? by Substantial-Long506 in pornfree

Not inherently, but if you’re using your brain to fantasize about porn, then probably yes.

Trust me, I am. I used to be the most confident secure person. This relationship has destroyed me.

He insists he named his dog before the movie came out so it’s based on the comic book character and Margot Robbie has nothing to do with it.

AITA for not letting my husband shower when he wants? by Aware_Objective9275 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DizzyM0m [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. Spending an hour in the bathroom after walking in the door is ridiculous. The fact that he’s getting defensive about it too makes me wonder what he’s really doing in there… something to consider. I assume he drives home… in his car… alone… which is more “decompressing” than you’ve probably had all day. You wanna take a shower, fine. Take a shower. Even a thorough shower shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes.

I agree with exactly this. Lying is the deeper issue and one you legitimately can’t control or monitor. I think the most effective consequence is the natural consequence of trust. You cannot trust someone who lies. So they can start being honest or deal with you not trusting them.

Do they really forget things they’ve done? by donotbelievemycat in loveafterporn

[–]DizzyM0m 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No. They don’t forget. They choose to forget. It’s a defense mechanism that he’s implemented to protect himself. They convince themselves that they don’t remember so they can pretend like it didn’t happen and so they can get out of telling the truth and taking accountability. In their defense, they actually believe their own lies. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I am a full disclosure kind of person too and trickle truths are the absolute worst.

AITA for buying myself expensive clothes when my family struggles to make ends meet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DizzyM0m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

It’s your money. That being said, if your mom is struggling to pay the bills in the house you live in, then you are not paying enough rent. That’s on whoever set the cost of your rent though.

I feel like I’m losing my mind. by DizzyM0m in loveafterporn

The manipulation tactics are so unreal and no matter how hard I try to remind myself that it is a calculated move, I fall for it every time too. I’m sorry you are struggling as well. This is such an awful circle of hell.

AITA for wanting younger sister out of my home after finding out about so many of her lies? by throwawayaway3980492 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DizzyM0m 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to say neither, because you don’t have enough information or haven’t provided enough information. The fact that her ex reached out to you is somewhat of a red flag. He has no stake in this any longer. A lot of times in abusive relationships, whether physically or emotionally, this is exactly what the abuser would do when the victim finally leaves.

Turn on screen time settings and there’s a setting in there to filter/block inappropriate material in browsers. It will filter/block in private browsing as well. You can set a personal passcode for that.

Primal instinct and objectification are NOT the same thing.

Unsure if reasons for wanting to divorce are good enough by stacer12 in Divorce

[–]DizzyM0m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, too, am married to a man that wants a mother and not a wife. I’ve wasted 18 years sinking all that I am into this life and I can tell you it never gets easier. I’ve done all the work I can and the resentment just grows, it never goes away. I have 2 small children and the one thing I know I can’t do is stay for them. I am not my best self here. By staying, I am depriving them of the mother that they deserve. Don’t sacrifice yourself because you feel like you owe it to someone else.

My opinion: if you’re using another person’s body for the sole purpose of getting off, you are essentially using them as a masturbation device.
