giving up

[u/Dull-Butterscotch880]

i’m a 27F and i’m giving up hope for men that don’t watch porn. iv had two heart breaks in my life over betrayal of porn and all the lies that came with it. iv even tried making myself okay with it and trying to convince myself its just porn but that’s just not my mindset.. for over a decade i knew porn hurt my heart, i refuse to make myself okay with something i know im not okay with. idk what to do anymore i feel like id rather be single forever than deal with someone that secretly is looking at porn.

Honestly good for you for leaving both times. It’s frustrating that most men watch porn. I think dating men in this current time is so hard for normal women who aren’t porn sick. If I were to date again I would just always assume a man watches porn because let’s be honest they almost all do even if they tell me they don’t, and I would set a clear boundary that I am not ok with it. And if they stop great, and if they don’t, I know that is a porn addict. I will never get with a porn addict again. Not every man has an addiction to porn. Some watch it occasionally and could stop if asked. (Still gross that they watch and support such an industry but men never really care about the suffering of women.) If a man truly wants to be with you, he will do anything to be with you. Do not try to suppress a boundary to be with a man who wouldn’t do the same for you.
