AIO If I Asked My GF To Give Up Porn?
Throwaway account. I 32M have been dating my 28F GF officially for five months, but we were seeing each other for about a year total.
I had a pretty open conversation with her about how I no longer watch porn (I previously had an issue with it). It’s been about 6-7 months since I gave it up and I finally feel “recovered” I just wanted to be transparent about this since before we started dating I confessed about my addiction.
Well, the conversation went a little differently than I expected. She mentioned how she continues to watch it personally but often thinks about giving it up too. I told her it didn’t bug me if that was her concern, but the more she talked about it, the more it bothered me if I’m being honest.
She mentioned how she only watches women, is only interested in some hardcore stuff, and that only these specific scenarios are kinda the only ones that get her excited. We don’t live close to each other currently but when we’re together we have a pretty active relationship in the bedroom. I thought it was kinda perfect but she mentioned that going that long in my house without porn made her feel crabby.
I love her and breaking up with her isn’t what I want to do, but this has me feeling insecure and like it’s detracting from our relationship. I don’t want to sound like a hypocrite, but I see the harm my addiction caused in my previous relationship and I don’t want us to repeat that mistake here. I want to emphasize that porn isn’t the problem, just the way she’s mentioned she’s using it and the volume.
