Hi Jacinda, welcome to the forum. Your post was really insightful, and I came to empathize for your situation.

I think one of the best things you can do is simply show him the post you just made. He needs to hear things like "It makes me feel unnatractive, I dont feel good enough". Once he realises that you not just taking a moral highground or judging him, he might start to realise 'oh, so thats why she's upset... she's right, I need to pay more attention to how I make her feel'

Porn is a very embarassing problem to own up to, because users usually do it for years secretly.. they become used to hiding it. You say in your post you will do anything for him, and I guess what I'd like to ask you is, stay there for him. Help him through this... don't be quick to judge him and run away. I think the best approach to take is one of "I care about you.. I want to help you" rather than "I'm angry, your a bastard..." those emotions might be hard to hide, but I dont think they'r every helpful in opening the lines of communication.

Good luck!


When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful.... a miracle. Oh it was beautiful, magical.
