I’ve recently had sex with my girlfriend and couldn’t last more than 5 mins without going soft The most gut wrenching feeling as a man. To the women you want to build everything with. And she tells me that’s been on her mind a lot and. So I come up with no answer and it becomes awkward and makes the situation worse. I can’t tell her about my addiction that I’ve been struggling with since I was 9-10 years old almost every day Honestly I’m so defeated, I feel the effects at work too my confidence drops so much in social scenarios with these relapses. I’m out of options I feel great most days but stuff like this is bringing me down so much right now.

Yes brother honesty is key , she will be angry but she will respect you so much more if you come clean and show her you have plan. God bless you and your partner in this journey and I wish you the best

Lying about it will ALWAYS come out at some point. Either being discovered or you can’t stand the hiding and come clean. Or it will keep you in a spiral of shame and guilt that further has you reaching out to porn to feel good or not worry about it. My partner is my biggest supporter and you can’t have true intimacy when such a large struggle is hidden away. It is beyond hard to deal with together but holy shit, you’re so much stronger and closer when you do. Just my 2 cents. Your girlfriend says she’s worried about it a lot. They can tell something is up, they should know you better than anyone.

Be honest brother! Go to the Lord and repent and turn from this nasty addiction. Focus on God and realize that your not supposed to have sex as it is outside of marriage man

She is the one but, man I’ve brought it up earlier in our relationship and she was really insecure about it and it wasn’t revived well basically treated like cheating which while extreme to me to her perspective on porn I could definitely understand , it was something I later I lied about and said I quit. And I’m afraid I could ruin a good thing if I bring it up.

You can make this happen man, these things should be some massive motivation for you. It’s not easy to quit but it’s very possible. If you can you should try talking to her, being vulnerable like that will show her how much you want to better. If you’re able to bring it up, you could heal while also becoming closer to your missus. God bless and good luck man!

I don’t know how close you two are, but maybe it would be a good thing to tell her. If she’s “the one,” then it shouldn’t be a problem to tell her about something you really struggle with. We all want to seem perfect to the people we care most about. But we’re not perfect. It’s our capacity to share our weaknesses and give them voice that makes us stronger, and I’m willing to bet that’s why you made this post in the first place…
