Now I know why you all refer to it as "d-day"

  1. Although we had the conversation last night, and he admitted he was addicted, and said he would go 1 week without porn, today I suggested he go 30 days instead. And it all went south from there. He got super defensive and started insulting me. He said he had lied last night and that he does not really have a porn addiction. He said I had been reading too much shit on the internet and I was stupid and crazy. He said he just doesn't want sex with me, then called me ugly before storming off. That was about an hour ago He won't be back until 10pm. Earlier today I texted him about it and he said he was taking it seriously and that this wouldn't come between us. And then he reacted like this. I'm shocked and devastated.
    I think he believes this is all my fault and I don't know how to change his mind. Was/is it like this for any of you? What did you do? I don't want a 7 year relationship ruined over porn.

  2. Would it be wrong to say
    he is doing you a favor
    and pushing you away?

    He dug a deep hole that he needs to explain and make amends to you for, if you want to go forward?

    Let him know maybe that those things are not OK. At all.

    Classic defensive behavior,
    I would think.

    Ouch.

    I read your other posts.
    Good info there for you.

    It sounds like gaslighting to me. I'm sorry to hear all the pain he caused you, and I understand you don't want a 7-year relationship ruined, but honestly it sounds like it already is. You need to take care of yourself, even if it means leaving the relationship. Love doesn't mean tolerating verbal and emotional abuse or neglect. Leaving him may be the wake-up call he needs. People often need to hit rock bottom before they can start changing themselves. You can't change people if they don't honestly want to change.
     
  4. I hope you are wrong. I love him too much, but you're right, I can't change him. I just can't believe he would try to hurt me this much, over porn, of all things. (I don't mean to minimize addiction but from my perspective this is so fucked up)

    It is fucked up, and I also hope I'm wrong. Maybe you can get some couples therapy or counselling before jumping ship?

  6. I would definitely do therapy before leaving him, at this point I am not even seriously considering breaking up with him. I want to know how he feels in the morning. Tempers were running high and I was very upset too. I still have some hope that he will realize what he's done when he stops seeing red. God I really hope.
