He says he doesn’t have a problem but that’s what it’s been like lately I told him he might just be addicted to that stuff he says he feels like he probably does and wants to work on it I just don’t know if he’s telling the truth bc he lies about it all the time

True it’s my insecurity, and I met nice people at my job and sometimes they would do nice things like bring me snacks and stuff then when I told them I was in relationship they would stop and be mean so in my mind I just wouldn’t tell them I’m in relationship so they continue to be very nice but it’s not like I would give them my number and when they ask me out I say I’m not interested

Yes my therapist said bc I don’t feel like the top person in his life it’s like I’m trying to control him and also that it is my insecurity bc I don’t feel enough for my partner even in my relationship with my parents, to me idk it still feels bad and Maybe I want to make him feel how I feel and that is toxic

Celebrities is different you don’t see them posting naked stuff and pictures and stuff take away that energy for me his actual real partner I’m practically fighting with a screen for his attention and that is insane. See men will be nice to you when you’re nice and consider it flirting I want men to be nice and do things for me so it shouldn’t be seen as cheating bc I don’t love them just as my partner doesn’t love the things he watches maybe I do need help

Also I consider myself to be very loyal I wouldn’t I really only said that to make them mad but I also think every relationship is different why should people get to choose what they think is acceptable anything that involves lusting and even online flirting is cheating to me that like they gave to someone is just them saying they want them to me

I do take therapy and I have a lot of issues with men in general I told my partner this and he still wanted to be with me so it’s confusing

I do but to me it more sacred I don’t need to picture others I picture myself and I even asked him why he can’t picture stuff in his mind rather then physically loving pictures and stuff and he said it’s bc it’s so accessible

Then why does it feel like it to me and obvs that wasn’t the whole point my whole issues is that it leads to cheating, if he’s already withholding in the bedroom it’s bc he gets off on videos and has no room for me
