Hi everyone I’m 26 year old and was in a 5 year relationship and I feel like porn ruined my life. I’m saying my life because I honestly thought I was going to marry this girl. So here’s my story. So in October 2019 my gf found out that I was paying for porn and she immediately started saying if she wasn’t good enough that if She didn’t please me, and of course that wasn’t the case I guess I was just used to watching it but I would do it behind her back and we never talked about how she felt about it. And of course I see the wrong in me having to pay for it. So a couple days after she found out she broke up with me. I promised her and swore to her that I was never gonna do it again. So a couple weeks later we said we would start working on things. And we did things were going great! Things felt amazing like they never have before! We were growing together and our connection was amazing! I had completely stopped watching it! Until February 22 2020 I don’t know what got into me and how I got there but there I was again paying for something I didn’t need! And of course a couple days later she happens to use my phone and see it all over again! I broke her heart and her trust! So she felt betrayed and of course she broke up with me again. I don’t how I let myself get to this. Porn made me into a liar and into someone I was ashamed of and made me keep secrets from someone I deeply cared about. So I decided to start with a 60 challenge so wish me luck and I’ll appreciate all the help and advice from anyone!
Hi dude, I'm sorry to hear that. Many guys still watch porn while they are in a relationship. What helps to begin with is not only quit watching porn, but what are you gonna do instead of watching it? Find other things to do or make goals that you want to reach instead of watching porn. Good luck with everything!
Hi Kimball10, welcome here. Sorry to hear your about the situation between you and your girlfriend. Wishing you loads of good luck overcoming this and staying away from porn. As said already by Quitporforlife, if you want to change your habits, consider new (better) habits to replace your old (bad) habits. You can do it!
I am so sorry for your situation. But i think you should talk to ur girlfriend about it. I know she felt betrayed about your addiction. But in my opinion, broke up just because of a few times PMO is a bit overreacting. You also said that you have period without P, and she should compliment you about that success. I mean, P addiction is arguably the hardest one to overcome, and as someone who trying to do it, you need all the support, not the pressure. I suggest that you go tell her about your problem, and tell her that you need her support to do this. No one should do this alone. Just something in my mind. Wish you all the best!
