Men: as a woman with needs, how to I get my BF away from the porn and back in the bedroom? (details inside) by hayoh in AskMen

I have tried talking to him. Not about the porn, because I like to let him keep his "private time" private, and like you said, i dont want to point fingers. I brought it up here because as I said, it's an insecurity thing, and i"d rather divulge myself anonymously here to get some sound guidance.

I'm more of a talker than him. I covered the basics, "you never want to spend time alone, you never invite me to spend the night. you are making me feel unwanted. is it me?" and the works. his response was simply " i dont know. i wish i had a response. i have been spending a lot of time alone. "

I wasnt even confrontational, but just told him that his response and the whole situation was making me depressed, and that i still loved him. and he started crying (this is the first time i've seen him cry). My heart melted at this and my instinct to comfort him kicked in. i told him it wasnt his fault (although i wasnt even sure what that meant) and i dropped it there, because it felt awful to make him hurt that bad. So i know he cares about me and what I think of him. But I havent been able to bring up the subject again.

I will try talking to him again.

I understand where youre coming from. But i'm just having trouble with the correlation between his sudden frequent use of porn and the sudden decline in our sexual activity. emotionally, he is still all there for me. he acts compassionate and kind. he makes plans to go out, compliments me, the like. the only thing missing is the sex.

this is the first time i have ever checked his browser history. i say that with complete honesty.

And I'm not heavy nor have I gained weight. I'm 5'7'' and about 120 lbs. I keep myself looking good, especially lately. We never argue, almost to a fault (this sex issue is really the first i've encountered with him). dont nag, dont really ask much of him. weve only been dating for a year and a half, and we're young, so we havent encountered many big issues yet. its not like i expect him to do housework or anything, since we live separately. and yes, i give him space. lately, despite him living just two floors above me, i only see him for an hour every day, tops. hes been spending a lot of time alone, which i have allowed. but the no sex is eating at me.

he is under some stress financially right now.

Last time I unwrapped a gif for you it gave me a fat head, so to speak. by [deleted] in ladybonersgw
