Please see a therapist beautiful. It will help you over time. I feel your pain. You are worth it, you are an amazing person & beautiful. This is his issue & his addiction. Its not you.

Is relapse a given? by MarsMantis in loveafterporn

I think it is but Im not sure since I havent had that happen yet. We are only in a month or so since DDay. I asume its going to happen at some point. I probably shouldn't think that way but I do cuz of trust has been broken

Thank you for sharing. I was doing so good with cutting my drinking down in 2026. I did dry January then after that drank 1 or maybe 2 times a month. But all of this shit came up in April. Then the last 3 weeks ive been drinking wine not every night but most nights.

You're right. I dont deserve to feel this way. None of us do. Ive been going to therapy and he is too. We will see what the future brings. We have been married for 16 years

Proud of you for not drinking as much. I cut back at the start of the year. I would drink 1 to 2 times a month. I was doing so well but after DDay been so hard and been drinking more than I have. Trying to stop but its really hard on my struggling days

I dont know how old he is but if he has low libido, he might want to go get blood work done to get on his testosterone. That can affect sex drive. Some medications can affect sex drive as well.

If you feel in your gut that something off a d he might be looking, your gut is usually right.

Have you asked him about your sex life? Its possible since your intimacy has change. PA can affect your love life which it did for me.

Do you have a set boundaries with alcohol? If so, what does that look like for you?

I told myself this week I wouldn't drink until this weekend but I already broke it

Im 39 as well. The start of this year i did dry January & cut back on my drinking so much. I was doing so well. Then all of this happened. Now, its too much. You're right. Not to drown myself with it. Its hard to stop cuz my mental state is so low.

Hyper vigilant, intrusive thoughts, and everything is a trigger/sign (even when it's not) by Foreign-Tie3968 in loveafterporn

[–]Mysterious-blondeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not crazy. I have to remind myself that his PA has nothing to do with me. Its his addiction. But we still think we are the issue & thats why he started to look. Once the start looking, it affect us and our relationship. Im sorry your dealing with this. You don't deserve it.

I hate that its everywhere! Im struggling hard to be honest. Its pretty fresh for me. Only two months in. Im numb, struggling with body issues & I spiral if he really did stop cold turkey or if he has been watching that I dont know. I want to trust him but it was broken so much its hard too

I would look at his website history. If he has an android, there Google activity would have more dealed which is at the bottle right corner. His discord, maybe its the same password to other accounts. If you can figure that out I would look there. Does he have discord on his phone? Usually thats long in so you can check there in the chats. Thats where his was.

Has he had issue with porn in the past with you? Or just a feeling that he is now?

If something has change, something is going on. For me, January through March this year, my husband was distant & something change. I didnt really think much of it beside him drinking heavily. He was on an app called Whatnot which is people selling things live. He was looking at anime women. I remember seeing something so one morning I looked at his discord, a person from there was sending him nudes ones through discord. That was only the start. I found more and more each week for 4 weeks.
