    So this is what it is. Porn won over me. At the end I was not good enough. It is over.

    I'm so sorry to hear this.

    Remember it is the addiction, it is NOT you.

    Hi Jagliana,
    Thank you, in this moment all I can think is that I will never be enough to anyone. After telling me that I am a dictator because I put the parental controls on the wireless and keeping telling me that I made the decision for him, I took everything off and I am pretty much done. If porn is so important that it does not matter if it hurts me, than so be it. I am done. I have no force or desire to fight any more. He gets his win. I love him, but I cannot live with him doing that. He pretty much told me he resents me so much for it, that every dude wants other girls, that I am stupid and ignorant because I do not understand how great benefits porn can have on our relationship and so on. So this is the bottom line, over, done, and heartbroken.

    I'm sorry that this happened to you. This is like the heroin addict choosing the drug that will eventually kill him. I know it sucks to come in second to something. I know it's hard to not take the hurtful things he said to heart. But they are the ravings of an addict who is selfishly acting out without any concern or care for those around him. He is choosing to self-destruct. Don't believe the lies he's telling you. He might believe them, but many of us do not. In order to not feel guilt or shame he is blaming you. Please don't internalize those lies.

    I am so sorry that he has made that choice. Whether they are lies or not as @i_wanna_get_better1 said -- that is irrelevant...he made his choice--even the addicted-choice is a choice at the end of the day: he has a choice to choose the easy path of embracing porn or the hard/difficult path of at least trying to fight the new drug(porn)....he has chosen his drug over you.

    Now, it is your turn to choose.

    I am sorry that he did not choose the true love of his life--you. Instead he chose the pixels over you. Somehow, you must heal from that ignorant, selfish choice of his; somehow you must find your own dignity and self-worth apart from that man who could not cherish you.

    You can and you will recover and heal.

    I think the point @TryingHard2Change is trying to make is your responsible for living with the choices you make, no matter what state of mind you are in.

    Thanks you very much for words of support. It is so difficult at the moment to be objective. He called me selfish for not caring about his feelings since he did this whole his life. I stayed with him after repeat lies and dishonesty, after so much hurt, all the way working, taking care of everything and trying to cope with my own trauma. He says I am biased towards porn, but he would not even look at the materials that state something different from what his belief is. I understand it is the addiction, but it is also his choice. It is his choice every day to either choose that or me. And it looks like I am not the one winning. I am so tired and heartbroken. There is nothing I can actually hold on to any more.

    Thank you very much TryingHard2Change. Yeah, I believe that it is a choice. It is a choice to turn on the computer and do something you know it will devastate your SO, it is a choice to follow through and hide it from her, like she did not know in the first place. It is a choice to blame your sexual dysfunction on anything else but porn. It is a choice to meet the woman you claim you love more than anything with your limp member or pound her endlessly until you can finish, or not. It is a choice to tell your SO that she is insecure and has a mind disease without recognising that you caused it in the first place. It is a choice to say that she is a crazy bitch and that all your girlfriends knew of your habit but never made a big deal of it. It is a choice to demand for the parental controls to be taken off because you will make your own decision - like you were ever able to when it comes to porn. Oh and the best one, tell your SO that she made you lie and hide it because she has made a big deal of it. Yeah. It is all his choice. But I still feel like crap.
