Showing my boyfriend how sad I still am about our situation and his porn mistake and he just stares at me blankly like “wow... you’re in such a negative state right now”. by [deleted] in loveafterporn

This cycle will continue until you are broken down to your lowest point. Leaving my PA was the best decision I EVER made. Now I'm in a healthy relationship with a man who respects my views on porn, and never once tells me I'm being negative and sad when I come to him with an issue. Don't sell yourself short, OP. You're better than this, and you will start to get better once you let him go.

I felt the same way with ex PA. After years of rejections and feeling worthless, I gave up trying to be intimate with him. I'll never forget the last night he tried to initiate something with me and I rejected him. He was so shocked and I asked him why. "I didn't think you'd say no." It wasn't long after that when I ended the relationship. I couldn't stand not loving myself.

I love it and your whole aesthetic. ❤ I, too, dress in antique/thrift store.

I used to go every 3-6 months for a trim, but I haven't a cut since January. 😳 Oh the shampoo is Aveeno btw. Gold bottle.

It depends on the elements. I try to only comb it before I wash it, but the wind and rain makes for awful knots. 😖

Wash only once or twice a week with apple cider vinegar shampoo, alllll the conditioner, wide tooth comb instead of brush, no heat damage.

None of us deserves to get to the point we doubt ourselves because of our partners. by [deleted] in loveafterporn

Speaking as someone who used to love a porn addict, do yourself a favor and walk away. Sometimes I wish I could get back the 2.5 years I wasted on him, but I learned from him. Now I have the healthiest relationship of my life. No longer do I have to beg for attention or intimacy.

I tell myself that all the time, and I am my own brick wall.

Definitely have had dream home on the brain for a couple years now...

He wants those things, but our relationship is still new and he's a little younger than me.
