It is SO fair to be frustrated about this situation. You have the right to be frustrated if you don’t feel comfortable with him watching porn, those are your feelings, Nothing unfair about that. I am so sorry you’re going through this, totally torturous in the mind and it probably makes your heart drop (you know that feeling). it’s horrible and makes you feel inadequate, I went through the same thing. He’s probably going to keep arguing his side/hiding it/acting like you’re the bad guy just to make no sacrifice. But if he watches porn, then he reduces the thrill he gets from the human interaction with you, and that is not supportive of the relationship. Lmk what you think!

He says he doesn’t watch porn. He told me at the beginning of the relationship he doesn’t like porn or strip clubs. He has told me his experience with strip club once with his friends & told me he wouldn’t go back to one.

When we had a talk about this, he told me “ can I tell you something? I don’t want to sound gross but I think of you when I do it”.

He said he didn’t want to lie to me. That he just wants to be treated like a human being & that all guys do it.

Why you are not okay with mastubation tho? I see it like a normal need of mankind! Like eating or drinking! Anyway, sorry too personal maybe! But your bf, in my pov, lied exactly like a coward! He didn't tell you the truth because he is afraid of your reaction??? WOH I would be really passed off!! He prefers lying and hiding his personality from you instead of finding a compromise??

That is not a good way to solve a problem, I'll try to explain him that!

Unless im missing something here, do you really think it’s realistic/ fair to ask him not to masterbate? Its his body.

Yeah, I think that too, but is it the principal point? He lied to her instead of confronting! Even if he was In right, that is wrong!

Someone who dealt with the same issue in ROCD said that having that expectation most likely was a compulsion.

@Stefanie86 Ok but like im not understanding. And i deadass dont mean to sound ignorant, i just do not understand. I could see if he was watching porn or something, because the thought of my husband watching porn makes my skin crawl. But you say he doesn’t. Lying is wrong, do not get me wrong. He should be straight up with you about it. But also, its not your place to tell him not to masterbate. It’s natrual. If its an ocd thing why you ask him not to, then you really need to work on the erp involving that. Again, i feel like im missing something here.

When I ask him if he has done it since he admitted this to me he says no.

hi guys, i’m struggling again. the other day, my bf and i went to get ice cream and there was this girl with a fat ass. i pointed it out first because like super impressive and she’s my ideal body type at the moment. (note: i get jealous and freak over girls i have jealousy to) so i was staring at him to see if he was looking at her but i couldn’t tell, he was looking in her direction but she was in the front counter. idk if he was looking at her. i brought it up and he was really sweet about it and reassured me that he didn’t and that he purposely didn’t look out of respect for me. i believe him but i have a little voice in my ear telling me he’s lying and he obviously was looking. any tips on how to diminish that little voice ??

I’m at a loss about what to do. I’ve been with my partner for about a year. I’ve wanted to be with him for 3 years and now I finally have him, I got out of a really toxic 11 year relationship about 4 years ago so I’ve had plenty of time to heal, things where going so great at first in our relationship and I’m still very much happy with him, I love him more than anything, but the past 5 6 months I’ve been having a constant fear that he’s gonna cheat or watch 🌽behind my back any chance he gets , I know that’s a touchy subject for some, but me personally it just makes me feel that I’m not attractive enough,or feel like I’m not good enough, I’ve never found evidence of cheating, and I’ve found 🌽 in his history once but I told him how I felt and he told me he understood how I felt and wouldn’t do it again,and I know the constant asking everyday and needing for reassurance with it is putting a tear in our relationship, I just want to fix it. Does anyone have any advice on how to redirect my brain whenever I start overthinking about it when I’m not around him? It just puts so much stress on me when I’m not around him cause I’m just constantly in my head about it.

When I was single, I watched a lot of porn, specifically lesbian porn even though I’m straight. When I got into my current relationship I dwindled down and eventually stopped watching porn of any kind, around six or so months ago. I had a flare up recently that has caused me to question every part of myself including my sexuality and my identity, my relationship, and other things that are important and valued to me, and porn keeps popping up in all of these things. I feel like my porn usage was me cheating on my boyfriend, especially in the early parts of our relationship. I broke down to him last month about it and he said it was okay, that he forgives me, but I’m still hung up on it because I can’t shake the feeling that I’ve wronged him and that I’m a terrible person and that I need to leave him because of this. This is so excruciatingly painful. I don’t want to keep confessing over and over and over again, but I don’t want to be a dirty lying cheater, which I feel like I am.
