    Hi. I'm new here. I think, well, I'm pretty sure my bf is a PA. I keep trying tobcarch him I feel like the PMO police. I feel the need to get up out of bed when he goes to the bathroom at night or early morning to try and catch him. Smelling tissue in the trash. It's like I'm obsessing over this. I found out he was watching 3 months ago. And still didn't think he was MOing to it. Until we hadn't been intimate in a while and I got upset and am thinking well your a man with needs. Then it hit me the internet search, no sex. Many nights of googling. Why isn't he into me. I did bring it up one night (as he hasn't disclosed this to meet yet), but, i had a few cocktails and honestly do remember the conversation.(wrong time I know). I want to bring it up,but, he shuts me out and gets completely silent during confrontation. How do I raise the issue. Also, I saw him stare at a woman recently when he thought ii wasn't looking and it infuriated me. I know he lives me,but, I feel as though he saves himself for the P. He watches As soon as I leave the house sometimes even when I'm in another room. I have seen this in his internet history. I noticed he was googling images of his ex gf(who he found our was an escort and he's cheated with her in the beginning of our relationship). I was so mad i called him and he's like whart are you talking about and I had to divulge the fact that I had his gmail password. Now he searches incognito and he never has give access to his pho be. He says he's a grown man and I don't pay the bill so don't invade his privacy. I'm tired of creeping behind him and wondering what he's doing behind my back. Someone, anyone, Please share insight.
    Another thing I can't get out of my head is what he's looking at today, I want to know how loing he takes, I'm curious the faces he makes. I'm just so down over this. I don't know what too do

    I also forgot to mention, I did see fight the new drug in his searchbhistory once. I'm wondering if he accidentally ran into that while watching P or is it something he looked into himself.

  3. Welcome and sry you are going through this. A few things here...

    1. If he won't admit he has a problem and isn't willing to do something about it..then there is nothing that you can do. That means he is not willing to make things right and this will be your life forever. Are you willing to accept that? If not..you need to be willing to leave if he refuses to get help.

    2. This is not your fault. He has an addiction and it's his to own. You need to set boundaries to protect yourself from his addiction.

    3. Take care of yourself. Take steps to heal. This type of betrayal hurts and causes us SOs many insecurities. Do things for you that make you feel good. Counseling, shopping, massage, prayer, meditation, vacation...anything for you!

    Be well and read as much on these forums as you can. There is a lot of helpful information on here and many SO that can relate with what you're going through.

    Thank you so much. I just don't know how to bring it up. I know he knows that so know now. I just don't want to argue then the sleeping in separate rooms. How should I approach this to him?
     
  5. Start w making a boundaries list. Then don't dance around it. You need to stop worrying about arguing. Be assertive and let him know your expectations. If you settle for less than you deserve then that is what you will get. You deserve to be loved the way you want, treated the way you want and desired the way you want.

    Should I share those boundaries with him? He has no idea that I an aware of the severity of his addition. I can tell by what he searches every day. He now searches in incognito mode and doesn't allow me access to his phone so, I have no idea what he is doing now? I only have access to YouTube history via gmail. I can tell when he's binging because he looks up in you tube. Also, It amazes me how many searches he goes through in a matter of a minute. Like, why do I care?

    Thus is shtterieng my self esteem. I have started by every time I think about It, I try and do something for myself to distract me from the pain

  7. Don't let him know HOW you know what he's doing. @Kenzi has said you'll just make a smarter criminal (like how he is searching incognito and being secretive and sneaky).

    Yes share boundaries and consequences. If he breaks your boundaries you have to have consequences in place and you HAVE to follow through on them (i.e. Sleeping in separate rooms, leaving, etc.). He may have to come to the realization that he will actually loose you for good if he doesn't get help.
     
  8. Hi @Broken_hearted. Your story is very familiar on this forum. The girls above a "veterans" :) and do provide excellent info and support. I'm slowly becoming a veteran too. My BF has been sober for 6 months today, but not recovered yet.

    Check out the Stages of Recovery video I uploaded recently, to get an idea of what to look for in your BF, if he chooses that path.

    Good luck!

  16. Well you need to be prepared to leave if he isn't willing to do something about this. If you get that point across then I don't think you'll have to worry since he should be the one worried about losing his family. Over PORN!
