    my boyfriend doesn’t quite understand what I’m going through. I don’t know if it’s ignorance or innocence but he’s had a hard time imagining a woman struggling with porn addiction, and therefore can’t understand the issues the addiction is causing in out sex life.

    He’s slowly pulling away from me, I don’t know whether the two are related or not. I’m letting him be but the anxiety behind it all is taking a toll on me. My body wants to react the only way it knows how to and I’m afraid I’m going to relapse. I don’t know what to do to stop it.

    Can you get him to read the first posts in some of the journals in the Women in Reboot section here? Then maybe he would understand.

    I know it may be hard sometimes on you and your relationship between your boyfriend. I suggest that you tell him the truth about your addiction and what makes me so mad is that he doesn't support you in your struggle to fight this porn addiction. Maybe you are right, he might be ignorant about it or he doesn't care. And I am sorry to hear that, he needs to support you. I wish you good luck next time.
