    I wouldn't be so quick to write this off as nothing more than some kind of substitute for P. Look around this site and see how many people went past just looking when they were in the depths of it.....

    As time goes by and I am reading more and now of your comments I am starting to realize that this is a more common thing than I had originally thought it was. I do think it was p sub or at least a supplement to p.

    Even after all he has put me through, I do still have some trust in him. I have to trust he is telling the truth about not cheating, for the sake of moving forward in our relationship. I'm not ready to give up on him yet, he means too much to me.

    I have come to terms with the fact that I am most definitely co dependant at this point and need to work on myself, as he has to work on his self, and we both have to work on our relationship.

    Some people might find my decision to stay to be foolish but I feel like there is hope for us still.

    Thank you all for your incredibly helpful comments , this community is very supportive and non judgmental and I truly appreciate all your comments they have helped me sort out my feelings.

    Sounds like he lied to you once. Then lied to you twice. The journey out of addiction is hard. It needs love and support. The choice is yours. Decide you love him and want to be part of his growth but no ifs and buts on lack of progress or lies. Or decide he's a baby and its time for you to get a real man. Decision is needed to move forward. This is the hard part.

    I'm usually pretty strict b/c I hate seeing women get hurt by the lying and cheating of men who abuse their partners with porn and prostitution. He's just using excuses at this point. The fact he's willing to go to that length by contacting others to me is a very grave violation of trust. He made the decision to contact them, send them pictures. Seeking attention could've been done by coming to you and gaining yours so it's not about attention seeking.

    He doesn't want this to end, his abusing you through contacting others for sex and you bet that's his intention.

    Why are we digging up threads that are almost a month old?

    No that isn't the point. People appreciate your opinion. The fact of the matter is that is that the OP hasn't logged on since July 10th, why not focus your time and support into people who are still here?

    The reason I did not come back was because I foolishly decided to give him yet another chance.. Guys I have been in denial with this man for two years now... Guess what he has recently been up to again after all this time? Yep you guessed it, he exact thing I told him was completely unacceptable and would end the relationship for good ... Talking to people on Craigslist again...

    I have stayed all this time and there has been literally zero change...I was in denial all this time and now I think I'm finally ready to start to focus on myself for a change. Thanks for posting your reply, as I'm going over my old posts again and it really did help me, even two years later

    Out of curiosity; is he on this site as well?
    Maybe show him this site and possibly this thread.

    He was on this site in 2015 but doesn't use it anymore. He and I are no longer together.
