Corn should be illegal
I’m in the happiest relationship of my life, but he’s addicted to watching corn… I don’t want to end things, & it’s not a severe addiction, it’s occasional relapses. So I’ve been researching for months on how to best support him. I bought us both books to read & work on our personal well being. But at the end of the day, my self esteem has been deeply damaged. 89% of men subscribed to OnlyFanz are married, I refuse for my husband to be in that statistic
Has anyone else here overcome this addiction in their marriage? Has anyone else left their marriage bc of this?
(Btw no I will not get over it. I know not all men are addicted. Don’t normalize corn)

Here is the light shinning on both aspects, I understand your concern and that is super sweet of you to be worried about if it is a possible addiction. It can be hard to see a partner turn to corn instead of speaking with you. You have every right to feel upset, however it could be something that is done out of habit and not necessarily to feed an uncontrollable urge. Another to remind ourselves is that relationships are built off communication, boundaries, love, compassion, understanding and kindness. There is going to be moments that are bumpy such as this, and you would have to decide within if it's something that can be worked out or managed.
Remember that not everyone deals with stress the same ways, although there are healthier and more respectful options in this current moment. What have you done so far to establish that you do not like what he is doing?
@InsightfulPhoenix I’ve verbally expressed my discomfort & feelings of betrayal, as he has broken pinky promises to me several times. Its affecting our personal intimacy as he admits to fantasizing about his addiction during our special time together. I’ve taken initiative to buy books for the both of us, his to help work the root of his addiction & mine to process the emotional trauma incurred.
@juicyacai111 I will send you a message for a one on one🤗
@JuicyAcai111 I understand your anger and discomfort and there's surely no need to normalize this but that's the harsh of truth of today's men. But I'm glad I'm not like most and I'm here for you to talk, listen and maybe help! Just a message away
@JuicyAcai111Thank you for being honest about your feelings and the impact this has on your self-esteem. Supporting someone through any addiction is challenging, especially when it affects your relationship and sense of trust. It’s great that you’re taking proactive steps with books and focusing on personal growth. Many couples have faced similar struggles and found healing through open communication, setting boundaries, and sometimes professional help like counseling or therapy. Your feelings are valid, and it’s important to prioritize your well-being too. If the situation continues to hurt you, seeking couples therapy could be a helpful next step. Remember, you deserve respect and happiness in your relationship.
