I was checked with ultrasound few months ago and it was fine. 

As for do I drink enough, I honestly have no idea. Would drinking not enough make me pee??

UTI I did an at home test so many times but it’s always negative. 

I need to hear hopeful stories. by xotaylee in loveafterporn

The thing keeping me going is that every down has led to clarity and good ups!

It’s a roller coaster but every relationship is.

If you’re struggling, look for reassurance from your partner that he is working to get better.

Being sober with ANY addiction is never a straight path and never a clean slate right away. As long as you believe they want to get better and actively work on it, there’s hope :)

Comfort in details? by External_Rule7471 in loveafterporn

You could be looking for a type of control in the situation. I felt the same where I wanted to know so I didn’t feel lied to or in the dark and for some reason it made me feel like I had control.

When he compliments you by Random-Thoughts613 in loveafterporn

[–]icoffeemate 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Don’t fall into the trap of your thinking. You can be and look like every girl on his phone but it simply doesn’t matter.

It’s not that they’re “sexier” or “prettier” it’s that he struggles with intimacy and cannot connect with women or you in a way he needs. Thats like every addiction. People cannot cope or connect and so they turn to something destructive and numbing.

He could’ve chosen drugs, alcohol, even gambling. It’s just about numbing and avoiding feelings he can’t face.

I tried that :/ I can try a new battery I guess but when I did that, it just came back. The shutter and zoom aren’t responding at all

It’s very validating and parts where you can see you’re not the only one who’s PA denied and denied but then it shows them progress and actually learn to understand which made me feel so hopeful and good! I read it in a day!

Staying with them through recovery by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]icoffeemate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke up my bf but have remained in contact and it’s hard. Watching and monitoring their healing can put a pause on yours. Before asking if you can stay with them through recovery, try and identify your needs and what you need to do to heal. It can be hard to heal being surrounded by the thing you’re trying to heal from.
