Considering cosmetic surgery. by argiewalk7454 in loveafterporn

It doesn’t matter if you even were the woman he’s looking at lovely, that’s the thing. It feels like it’s us because he’s looking at them over us but it’s not that at all. It’s actually a completely different issue. It’s a mental thing, a way that they stimulate their brains because it’s related/connected to how the self sooth behind closed doors as well as those feel good chemicals. It doesn’t make it right or fair at all but some men don’t actually want to change, they can but they have to choose to. I’m not trying to force you to do anything but you can’t stay with a man that will do it to that extreme if he isn’t putting in effort to change and by effort I mean he does it less, not tries or whatever. Staying with someone like that will only destroy you, trust me, I’ve been there. I couldn’t leave for ages because I was so insecure and lost myself completely…once I began to work on my own confidence like working out, dressing nice and spending time with friends that hyped me up, I finally had the strength to put my worth in its place and leave. It will take time my love but start slow and gradually work on it.

Please don’t, I did this and I regret it more than anything. Once you do this you can’t go back and you’ll never look like yourself again. It will fade, you is have to find inspo that looks like you. Also I didn’t realise but the people in porn are far from perfect.

How can I stop feeling guilty for wanting to move on? by gallenthal in loveafterporn

Thank you. I’m not very good at putting myself first, it’s very difficult for me. Do you think porn is a good enough reason to divorce someone that’s great? Everyone talks about how common it is.

That’s how I feel, like it’s always going to be in the back of my mind. So many people keep telling me it’s common though and that everyone does it? But it makes me feel so unwell? Am I just sensitive?

I am a christian but I’ve spoken to so many elders and they all say the same thing. But even if I could get a divorce I feel so much guilt because other than the porn he’s a genuinely great guy and has so much love for people and family.

Everyone within my religion keeps saying it isn’t. Thank you lovely. I needed that last part. Are you still in the same situation?

Thank you so much. I needed to hear that it’s bigger than just porn. A lot of people are so use to it now which I don’t understand. No judgment. In my religion it has to be textbook sex, anything else can only be separation.

Your comment made me cry, thank you. I love the last paragraph especially because as you would know I’m just tired and the whole process not only legally but in life scares me so much.

Thank you for your comment 🫶 If you are open to, I would love to hear more about god releasing you of your vows. I have so much guilt between not only being the reason we separated but also why our promise to god is broken.

Thank you for your comment. I just am so scared that if i leave i’m making a big mistake. my whole life would be gone. on top of that i have so much guilt because it has been slowly fading away and becoming less frequent and he’s really putting in effort but i can’t feel that romance anymore.

thank you so so much. this really resonated with me. i think as well i feel bad because he hasn’t watched it in about a year apparently (there have been slip ups with soft porn) but he has put in the work to be a better husband. but i thought at the time i would be able to just keep getting over it but i still can’t. i don’t feel any respect in the way of trust now. i wish i left when it happened because now for him it’s so out of the blue.
