trust issues

I've been incredibly lonely for most of my life. I have no family, no friends. I had a girl I loved but it didn't work out. I cannot easily go out and meet new people, nor do I really want to anymore. People are too unreliable and tricky. I cannot be emotionally dependent on another person ever...

Hello, I just need advice with trust issues. I haven't had any bad breakups but I have trust issues. I would like a wife someday and trust is extremely important for healthy romantic relationships especially marriage. But I'm afraid one day I will get betrayed by her. Is there anyway to reduce...

Hello everyone, I am 25 years old descreet gay guy. And I would like to share my addiction story here in hope of it can be heard because I cant keep it inside me anymore, plus I have no one trust to share. I would say that my daily routine isnt many activities and I always feel that I have a...

Hello to all of you, courageous partners of porn addicts like myself... My boyfriend is still on reboot, it almost been 30 days now and that's the longest he ever made it clean so far, so I guess he's doing things right this time. But here's the thing: I know, it's stupid and bad of me, but...

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...

Last night my wife went to hang out with some friends of ours from work (we work together). Since she was going to be with them I decided to go to my buddies house to chill with him. He frequently smokes weed and almost always does when I'm over there. My wife and I were both raised in a very...

I want to start out by saying that I am guilty of not revealing my sexual habit of PMO to my current girlfriend early enough for her to make an informed decision about whether she wants to be with me. Fast forward to now, and she has moved out of her place on the west coast in anticipation of...

I am new to admitting I have a problem with PM to my girlfriend. It has caused PIED for me since college days. I’m now 37, and the build up of shame about my porn habit has eaten me up inside. My girlfriend doesn’t want to have sex with me because she finds porn to be “disgusting...degrading to...

My boyfriend and i have been together for about 3 years now. He had had a PA since he started puberty. it was around the 2 year mark that i let him know how the P made me feel and that things needed to change. at first he claimed it was not a big issue, but eventually he agreed to change his...

It's only recently I've come to the conclusion I have trust issues. Before I even meet someone I assume they don't like so, therefore, I keep my distance. I feel uncomfortable and nervous around people. I don't believe my friends truly like me and are just pretending to my friends. The last few...

I need to vent so much. happy that nofap exists and on here people can understand me. i feel a lot of grief now. few days ago i was about to relapse due to an emotional disappointment and i just wanted to get drunk, hurt myself mentally in every way possible. i just wanted to punish myself...

Things have been going really good for me lately and I am on a roll. I have been clean and have not had any desire to PMO! I have been single for a little and have found out so much about myself and feel that I am enjoying my own company. Unlike many others I have not been married but have had...

Hey everyone. I didn't bother with an intro post because my situation is quite urgent. Please understand, I found you guys today and I am so relieved to be able to gain some insight on what has been an eroding of my trust with who I beleive to be my soul mate for the last 2 years. It all...

Edit: I'm new here. This is my first post! Open to tips/advice/questions! My boyfriend is a PA for 8-9 years. He lied to me about it for the 2 years we have been together. He finally came clean one night after I had (one of many) breakdowns feeling like he didn't want me. He would reject me...

We met at HS, I a freshman at 15, he a sophomore at 16. We engaged in intercourse about a month into our relationship. I knew from the start that he watched porn. Mentally, I wasn't ready for any of this, yet I assumed that all was normal. We married when I was 23 and started our family late the...

I'm here because I am seeking a community and support. Married for 11 years. Husband has been addicted to porn since I met him. Things changed radically for me after children. Porn became active cheating to me. I've done local COSA meetings, but they weren't for me. I'm hurting. This is me...

Well this is my first post. I've stalked the forum as an s.o. to try and learn and understand porn addiction as much as I could. Literally it's a world I never knew existed in the sense that I never really believed it was truly an addiction or something someone, i.e. my bf couldn't stop if he...
