...See more Weve been together for two years and we recently broke up. Ive been lying about my porn addiction multiple times and shes been suffering from the betrayal. Just recently, i had to come clean about somethin i lied about relating to porn and we broke up. A day after i told her that ive been lying about my porn usage behind her back and it made things worse. Theres still a small window for us to come back together in the future, but i need to change if that can be an option. Its a gamble, but i want to leave that door open as much as possible too. Im lurking subreddits about porn betrayal and asking for relationship advice on another. Im also studying books on how betrayal can affect a person to try to really put myself in her shoes. I want to learn about why i felt the need to lie and protect her and myself rather than be honest, i know i have codependent tendencies and have childhood trauma, but im open to any outside sources or books to study this. Im also going to attend my first Porn Addicts Anonymous program today. I could use advice from anyone who knows about what its like from her position, my own, or personal experience in general. Anything would be helpful and honest/blunt replies/advice is appreciated.
