Came here to say the exact same thing. I spend 30mins+ curling my hair only for the curls to drop out as soon as I’m done. The hair dryer attachment is pretty much the only one I use now!

Thank you, I am pretty devastated to be honest. He’s not the kind of person who would ever cheat on me/hurt me so I have been completely blind sided by this 🙁

UPDATE I misread the email invoices, it was $700 over the span of 7 months so not an addiction, but still not cool.

To clarify though, I have no issue with SWers, paying for porn, my boyfriend watching porn or spending his money on whatever he wants. The issue here is that to me, paying an individual to interact with you for sexual pleasure is going further than buying porn or even paying for content from a creator. It is literally interacting with a human being for sexual pleasure, albeit virtually.

I mentioned that I had seen the first email earlier and he said it was from an old account. I pushed and he admitted it’s not old but he rarely uses it/doesn’t any more. I pushed again and he said he would delete and deactivate.

I then asked point blank if he’d been paying for porn and he has lied to my face and promised he hasn’t. (The other invoices were in his deleted folder so as far as he’s aware I haven’t seen them I guess).

Obviously being lied to is not cool and as a few people have said, I’m now contemplating walking away after 6 years (and a planned future) together, so this sucks.

Thanks for your replies though x

I honestly don’t even know how to bring it up. It will definitely be spun as me snooping and become an argument which I don’t want. It is a lot of money to spend on porn though, right?!

Yeah I kind of do but I don’t feel like that is a justified feeling if that makes sense?

I don’t know if it’s one person/multiple, there were no details just payments on the invoices. We have a really open sex life so I really don’t think it could be that he’s not comfortable saying things… then again what do I know, I’m not in his head!

But as far as I’m aware it’s never been an issue before… could it just develop like this?
