    Hi,

    I guess I'm at a point where I'm feeling very defeated in my relationship. My partner admitted to his porn addiction after I questioned why he sometimes didn't finish during sex. He decided to quit porn, approximately 5 months ago and is flatlining. We've only been together 6 months so it's been a problem majority of our relationship. He has zero sexual interest in me, and we very very very rarely have sex (we had a lot during the honey moon phase for the first month or so). He reported he masterbates a couple of times a week. He doesn't like to talk about it very much, and when I push him to open up, he says he hasn't felt much improvement in the desire department. I really want to support him and be patient, but it's so hard when it's crushing me that he doesn't desire me. It just feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I keep trying to find other threads of significant others going through such a long flatline where their partner isn't interested in sex with them but honestly they are hard to find and it seems the partners are still wanting sex with them. It's extremely lonely and just reiterates that maybe I'm the problem. :( I don't know what to do anymore.

    You absolutely, in no way, are the problem. I repeat, you are not the problem. I married my husband at 23, I was a virgin and I knew something was off. It took him a long time to finish. I remember thinking, is it supposed to take this long? Lol. He had very little desire when it came to sex. I told him we needed counseling because something was wrong and he told me I was a nympho. Lots of fights. Many porn addicts have no desire for real sex. It’s too much work, or too intimate and not enough novelty. I’ve been married 31 years ( April 4th). For 28 of those years sex was non existent unless I begged, badgered, cried, pleaded, screamed, then finally gave up. Much better now that he’s in recovery. But honestly, be prepared for a life time of feeling like this. Very few get into recovery and stay there. Just read the mens journals and see how long they have been on the site compared to how long they have clean. Not difficult to see very few in long term recovery ( 5+ years).

    Thanks for helping out.
    I 100% agree. I really hope he can be one of the ones that find good recovery.

    All of you can get into long term recovery.,every single one of you. But, you must be willing to do the work. It’s not easy. But it as achievable
