I denied having this addiction for so long. I lied to my girlfriend, I never spoke about it for so so long. I finally admitted to my girlfriend of this addiction. She doesn’t want much to do with me anymore. But I feel relieved? I feel relieved that I told someone, I feel like I can focus on quitting now that I’m not denying it to myself, and others. I hope my girlfriend will see the other side of me. I hated lying and denying it to her and myself. I hate myself for that and for this awful addiction. God does not value this in the eyes of a man, and I hope I can break this for myself and do right by god.

She hugged me and said it’s okay, and was very kind because she knew how hard it was for me to say it. But also expressed how hard it would be to stay together, so she left. Appreciate all your responses. And support, you’re all amazing!

My ex slapped me in the face. My wife hugged me and has never left me. Get a new girl - her “cheating” will just come in different ways.

Show her that you are actively trying to change, that it’s something a lot of men deal with but you are one of the few working to be for only her. Show her the group.

She may not understand where you are coming from. It’s always a deeper root to it as well brotha. I have a gf as well. She didn’t understand it at first, but with some time with God and trying to figure it out, understood why and got to share that with her. You are not the only one brotha. You are indeed not. Keep trusting in the Lord and for breakthrough. We will see the way out of this. That way is with Christ alone

It takes bravery to admit what you’re going through. She may not understand it and that’s up to her but you’re taking the step in the right direction.

Remember you have nothing to be ashamed of. Porn addiction isn’t commonly understood or spoken about so her reaction may be from not understanding the disease.
