partner of an addict

Hi all. This is a post for everyone at today's webinar, this is the article I was talking about. For anyone stumbling upon this, I've attached a pdf of an article by Gretchen Blycker, a licensed mental health counselor specializing in mindfulness-based therapy and sexual and relational health...

Only answer the poll question if you have experience with your partner. Is it wise to have sex with your significant other during a reboot, for example after 2 weeks? If so, how does the partner of the addict experience it? And how does the partner of the addicted partner experience it?

My boyfriend (32) has a pornography addiction (He was diagnosed with ADHD combined type last year). He disclosed this to me before we started our relationship and promised to quit. However, 1.5 years later, he has broken this promise several times despite assuring me that he would try to...

In august 2021, I discovered cashapp requests in my boyfriend's email from different findoms, "mistresses", "goddesses". He claimed that it was a fetish that he had not engaged in since before we were in a committed relationship. Unfortunately, this was untrue. He was vague on sharing details...

Hi, I’m new to this. But my boyfriend has been watching sissy porn for a few years. I’ve told him how upset it makes me feel and he’d never do it again. Last night I found his Xbox was filled with saved GIFs and videos etc. We had an argument and haven’t spoke since. This morning I checked again...

Me and my partner have been together almost three years now, and have lived together for a year. He has struggled with his mental health for some time now and I’ve grown more concerned as he’s withdrawn from me gradually over the last year and a half. He is a very private person anyway and our...

Here is a question I am asking myself: So, my partner is a reboot process. And he/we/I did take all kind of new measures, so he can hopefully REALLY kick it this time. New, stronger blockers. New, stronger boundaries on my side. New techniques of journaling for him. But I'm still asking...

Hello everyone, So yes, that's it, it happened. Again. Of course. My boyfriend is really trying to get over it and I know he really wants to quit. Accountability partner, fortify, journaling, meditation, blockers, you name it. He's doing and using all those things. And it kind of works, as he...

Hello everyone, I'm just putting it out there in hope to find some clarity, if not some answers. My boyfriend's porn addiction is a struggle for both of us. He's one of the ones who recognized long ago that he has a problem and he wants to solve it. He wants to quit, for good, but so far, there...

Hello everyone and first thank you so much for creating this community which I'm very greatful to have found. I'm new here, and am looking for advices or any kind of ideas/support. This post might be a little long, sorry in advance for that. But I'm struggling. And I can't keep up with those...

So I found out about 4 months ago that my partner of 1 year kept watching porn and I asked him about it. He said he’s fine and not addicted. I kept asking him because it was very clear of his addiction and he eventually said he’s researched and wants to try nofap. He tried it a couple months ago...

This is my 1st post here so I’ll try and explain without writing a novel!!! I’ve been married to my husband 22 years (our anniversary is this Friday) and we have been together 24 years. Throughout our whole marriage our sex drives have been at opposite ends of the scale. I have a high Sex drive...

Hi, My boyfriend has always had a problem with staying hard while he has been with me doing anything sexual. He used to pass it off as he had a ‘certain handgrip’ and at the time I never thought anything of it, just that I may not have been good enough at doing stuff. However I has had several...

Hi all My bf has been addicted to masturbation for years. (I think you call it PMO)... We've been together for 3 years and he told me about his problem right when we met (it started when he was late teenager now he's almost in his 30's). He says that his behavior hasn't got any better with...

Hi, I'm new here. I've never felt compelled to join any type of forum in my whole life until now. My boyfriend of almost 2 years is addicted to porn/has problems with compulsivity. For at least a year I had to fight to get him to see and admit he had a problem. Over the last maybe 6 months he...
