    I could be here for help, validation, and support. I could just be here because I'm wondering how I even ended up in a relationship that would push me to search for such sites. I guess I'm trying to unboggle my brain as to why he doesn't O. Why he has ED. Is it me? I know it isn't. But my question is... If he "loves" me so much, why isn't he even trying to get help?

    I guess I'm here because I need the support from others going through this. I guess I need answers. I need someone with the addiction to help me understand it.

    You are certainly not alone, this is becoming more and more common. Have you ever thought about directing your partner here? Talk to him and tell him it's negatively effecting you and he needs to do something about it, if he loves you he will listen.

    I mentioned it. He didn't take me seriously. He knows how much he is screwing my head up and doesn't seem to care much. He is great to me and my son, but this is outweighing everything. I JUST dealt with two years of this from someone else, which my current boyfriend knew about. Why would he even bother with me knowing how bad it screwed my head up? Why add to it? Was bad enough that I felt like the problem with one partner, now it's two. This is really getting to me now.
     
  4. Hey @MooseKnuckleMcGee ,

    I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

    Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

    What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

    First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

    Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

    Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

    That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

    PS:

    One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals.

    I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work.

    Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few:

    Thank you for the info and the welcome. I will definitely look into the journals. Anything helps at this point I am doing everything in my power to hold myself together. I thought he was working on this, he really isn't. It just really stinks.
