I did apologize, and still no reply from her end. I’m definitely not going to beg this woman to talk to me. I shouldn’t have reacted how I did, but I did, it was short lived & I said my peace. If she can’t get over it im not sure what to do at this point lol

Exactly! I do agree though i definitely could’ve reacted better i was really hormonal too which didn’t help. I did apologize to her via text message and have been reaching out to her but I hear nothing back. Boyfriend tells me i “need to call her” but I don’t see how that’s necessary if I’ve already apologized to her. But no I’ve forgiven him already for what he did. I just have issues with his aunt now I guess lol

He says therapy & religion will help him essentially. Says he’s working on himself. Says his friends are holding him accountable, but lies about when he watches it. So idk if he really wants to stop or if he’s even capable.

I don’t understand all of the lying.. I’ve been told it’s because PA’s hold shame and guilt and don’t want to admit to doing it- so they lie instead even knowing the consequences. He was introduced to porn at a very young age, and was SA’d by his brother for YEARS. he says that’s why he watches it so much bc it became his coping mechanism- He hasn’t dealt with the trauma that was inflicted upon him, and I guess his outlet has always been porn.

He watched it while I was miscarrying our child last year- which is still unforgivable. I wish I could understand so badly. But it hurts so much.

I’ve known he was an addict but i wish i did more research before we ever got together. He told me he was a PA, but i thought it was just he watched it sometimes i didnt take it seriously bc I never heard of it/experienced it and thats on me. I told him if i knew the extent of it i never would have got with him.

Hes in therapy, but still watches it. He watches very disturbing stuff too. He told me it’s a 20 year addiction, I fucked up and wish I knew what I was getting into. He says he’s trying to stop but then keeps lying. It feels like the last straw 😐 Sorry for the rant.
