Partner addicted to pornography
Hi I have a partner who has been addicted to pornography for many years. He lied to me when we first started dating and said he would stop the porn for me. It turned out he would keep doing it for the whole 5 years we've been together and would gaslight and abuse me very often. I say all this to say that the last 2 months he said he hasn't done it at all and that he's doing much better. He says God is helping him but I'm unsure if he's still lying. He will lie to no end to save himself and from being found out. I'm just really upset and wondering if someone can really stop cold turkey from looking at porn when they have a very aggressive addiction to it for many years. Please comment and help me know if he's lying or being honest. It's so hard to tell. Thank you so much for reading.
So porn addiction and Using God as witness doesn't go very well together.
Being addicted and Mentally sick these two are different things.
For addiction you can treat it with either medication and self restraint.
In which a addict person should be committed to oneself.
Mentally sick is different story in which person can't control their emotions towards that addiction. And in your case it's been 5 years so it's very long time for a addiction.
If they was committed to overcome this then you should have seen some progress along way.
But by far as per you the story is completely different.
You need to talk to him clearly on this and be straight forward.
And hear what he as to say.
If they trust you and care for you they'll make efforts for you if not and this is not what you wanted then it's time for you to think better.
Thank you for your comment 😊
The thing is you have to talk to him because he may be watching it because there is something missing in your sex life that he urges for
Or he may have adopted it as a hobby since he has none
You have to open a conversation with him and know what he wants
