I'm sure my boyfriend is addicted to porn, I feel like a real good for nothing worthless person, he'd rather watch that *** then do anything with me.. he is in the bathroom for at least an hour every night and every time I'm away from him he is on the phone and when I surprise him and am back early he hides the phone really quick... I cannot accept this anymore... I am driving myself crazy feeling like my man would rather watch internet women than to be with me.... It's really a *** feeling. I'm thinking about ending it with him. I've tried talking to him about it he says I'm crazy he is not addicted to porn.

@Kristalynne

That sounds like a very valid concern to have over your boyfriend. Does he know about your ultimatum? Perhaps he doesn't see the urgency in your situation and thinks its not as big of a deal to him.

@Kristalynne If he is addicted to porn, it really is a disease that needs treatment. Without treatment, any addiction gets worse. There are a few 12 step programs that he could go to. One is SAA. the website is saa-recovery.org

Also, if it truly is an addiction, it is NOT about how he feels about you. It really is about addiction and really has nothing to do with porn itself. Porn actually makes the brain generate chemicals similar to ones made when we snort coke. Anyway, try not to take it personally. Easier said than done !!

It's only natural to feel hurt and angry about this situation. I hope my insight would help you gain some perspective and make a decision :

* How important is this relationship for you ? Is your boyfriend one you want to keep for long ?
If so, please consider seeing his addiction as the problem, not him. He will need your support if he initiates a recovery journey.
* How is his behavior an indication of your “worth” ?
* How important is it for you to be an exclusive source of pleasure for your boyfriend ?

Best of luck to you, caring human being ⭐️

Hi I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this, it honestly sounds like it’s deep rooted in his psyche. I’d be happy to talk about it more if you’d like to send me a message
