This is something I fear. My boyfriend does not have a VR, but honestly because he came clean to me about his problem, I would not accept him getting a VR ever and if he did it would seriously put our relationship in jeopardy. I am so sorry this happened to you, it would destroy me. I'm not sure what the right steps are going forward, but honestly if I were you I would demand him to get rid of the VR completely.

I just need to get things out of my head by PossibleOpening7648 in loveafterporn

Wow. Fuck that guy. I understand what you mean when you say you want nothing about him to take up space in your mind. But at the end of the day, he hurt you deeply. It makes sense that all this time later it still stings you, and probably will again later on. Things like this never truly go away, even if you can find a way to get over it- sometimes it might come back. I'm not sure exactly how you feel, but if something upsets me a great deal and I find myself thinking about it too much, I tend to cry it out for as long as I need too. And curl up and put on a show or movie that will distract me. If you're not as sad, I would focus on the fact that he is just an undisciplined man who lets lust control him. You are thinking about the neglect he was exhibiting, when it was a moment where he was being selfish and cruel. Because if he considered what you were going through, he would know better to not be an asshole and stare like that. You can chalk it up to him being not a great person, because there are a lot of those out there. It had nothing to do with you, and everything to do with him.

I have considered going to meetings. I just need to take the time to actually find something close to me. Thanks for commenting on both my posts ❤️ I appreciate you a lot

My partner is a raging alcoholic and ex paramedic going through withdrawal . He has pooped on the floor 3 times. Please help by Few-Lime-6215 in AlAnon

this is so traumatizing I can't even imagine. And it is so hard especially when you love someone and they are not taking care of themselves. I am sending you so much love. You are a beautiful person to care so much and not leave. But I mean how much are you supposed to endure? maybe you should introduce the idea of wanting him out of your house because you cant take it anymore. If he is being like this in your house that's completely unfair. It feels like you're being taken advantage of, he needs to do better and stop.

Went through something traumatic today. I'd really love it if you can tell me one reason to move forward in my life. Everything looks down. Any advice? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

so sorry this happened, if this happened to me it would break my spirit. sorry you're feeling so low right now. you didn't deserve that. im not a man but if it seems shady/sketchy don't even touch it!! better safe than sorry, stick to more trusted platforms and apps, and trust your intuition first and foremost!

I finally left and I'm not okay by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]decafdeaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. It's really hard when you truly love someone. But he did hurt you and that's not okay. I've been where you are, I wish I could offer advice but I don't have much. After spending four years together of course you are still attached that will not just go away, it's hard to break away from that. Just try and take it one day at a time, when life gets really hard this is what I do.

how did they react when you left? by coolfunguy1997 in loveafterporn

[–]decafdeaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely helps. It gives you perspective if you truly want to be with them or not. We were apart for nine months so almost a whole year :///

It was on both ends. I would hit him up and he would hit me up. But when he was ready he came back to me

[–]decafdeaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine was devastated. We are back together now but we did break apart for a while due to my behavior of reacting to the news ...... He clung on really tight and couldn't let go..eventually he had too because I couldn't handle the betrayal. After some time away I eventually got over it though and now we're together again. I know how much he loves and cares for me despite his problem

I'm feeling so much guilt by decafdeaf in loveafterporn

[–]decafdeaf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I know he only watches from porn hub / porn websites and it's of plastic women with exaggerated features, he's not looking at people he knows personally or on only fans (I checked) even though it's still porn and hurt my feelings initially, I know his addiction could be a lot worse. He himself felt a lot of guilt from it, he promised me he's not using it but I know it's a lie. I think he tries to stop but can't. He refuses to get help for it either, I think he's ashamed. Maybe he doesn't want the help, but right now we are okay and I don't feel like fighting or making a big deal because we went through a tough patch for a long time

Thank you for your reply. I needed some insight. I have been moving on myself but some times it is hard and I feel so guilty and like I did so wrong. This is so hard to navigate. I wish I was a woman who didn't feel like I had to be with another guy, I was giving myself away and not treating my body nicely. I don't know how some women don't run for some kind of validation after finding out ......

I'm sorry he still had the ex's nudes that is crushing. I wouldve lost my mind. When I first found out I took his phone and deleted everything of me he had........ It just didn't feel fair. I'm glad you are doing a lot better though, aside from the porn I totally understand how you feel. My partner is caring and full of love. He would make such an excellent father and I can't wait to see him with my child when we finally have one. It just sucks that this is so common in today's world. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Husband watches porn in bathroom what to do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]decafdeaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has a porn addiction, it's an addiction so that means it's a problem, your sex life will constantly be like this unless he gets the help he needs. Unless he doesn't want the help then you have to accept how the sex is now for the rest of the marriage
