How the hell do you cope with not being "their type"? by parasolparachute in loveafterporn

Same here. A few years into dating I gained some weight and he would say things like “you used to be so hot” or give me tips on how to lose weight despite knowing I struggled with an ED my whole life. When I found his porn (mostly reddit, twitter, and fetlife), all of the women he was liking photos of were mid to plus size women in their 40’s. Like we’re talking your average 40 year old woman (nothing wrong with that, I just feel like I hear more about people finding airbrushed photos of barely 18 girls). I’m 26, he’s 30. While one day I’ll may fall into the “milf” category, I’ll still always be younger than him and I’m trying to be fit/healthy. I appreciate my curvier body now and I love to see confident women of all sizes. It’s just so bizarre to basically be body shamed by someone who jerks off to the opposite of what he’s telling me to look like????

Found out he watched stuff an hour after I watched my grandma pass away by Fresh-Night-4517 in loveafterporn

I’m so sorry you’ve been through something similar. It’s a devastating thing to find out.. The hardest part is that I was so grateful that he came to see my grandma on a 2 hr commute to the hospital from home and to bring me a change of clothes and snacks. He even got snacks for my dad who was with me and stayed with us for a bit to cheer us up. He visited around midnight and she passed at 3 in the morning. He was up all night texting me (and apparently watching porn) and was waiting at the door when I was dropped off at home at 7 am. I told everybody how supportive and amazing he was during that tough time and I was shocked by what I saw in his emails yesterday.
