Exclamation Porn Issues Causing Problems

Alright...here's my issue

I was on my b/f's computer a few months ago. I clicked the history bar to visit a site I was previously viewing. I noticed tons of porn sites. I am very conservative about certain things and sex is one of them. I find porn and other related things immoral (just my opinion). I also feel it is very close to cheating. I felt like dirt since I saw it.

I became very self-concious and won't let him touch certain parts of my body that I find imperfect. He can't even put his arm around me when we lay down. I was never like this before.

I started dieting and exercising. I actually am a bit obsessed with both. My typical day as far as exercise goes is as follows:
1. Feed, water, turnout, clean stalls, clean barn, etc. at a barn in the morning.
2. Go to my hour long riding lesson and clean their barn.
3. Go to classes and/or work
4. Do an hour of exercise videos
5. Go to the gym and do weights, cardio, etc. for anywhere from 1-2.5 hours.

I run as fast and long as I possibly can before I feel I'm going to literally pass out whether it be my asthma or my ankles are in so much pain (think I have shin splints). I just HAVE to do it!

I then get really stressed sometimes and throw my diet out the window as I visit McDonalds to feel better. If I'm with my b/f and I eat anything unhealthy be it fast food, a bag of chips, or a piece of meat I go to the bathroom and force myself to vomit.

I have lost trust in him and have become very jealous. I hate when he's not with me. I worry when he goes to work, to classes, when he's on the phone...all the time!

I even have sex with him when ever I possibly can to keep him from searching elseware. Even if I don't want it. Sometimes he just tells me no and so many words because he's not in the mood. Then I get mixed feelings about that (good he's satisfied or why...is there somebody else?).

He always asks me what's wrong and why I won't let him touch me. He's genuinely concerned, but doesn't push. When he asks my brain and body freeze and I CAN'T physically tell him.

I think I'm nervous he's going to leave me or think I'm acting stupid. Perhaps he'll think I'm being too controlling by making him choose between me and his habit? He treats me wonderfully and I know he cares a lot for me. I have just never told him how I feel about it.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Am I overreacting?? And thank you for reading my book lol!

It looks to me like you have other issues you should worry about first. And i mean that in the nicest way possible. The only way you can truely be loved or love another is to be able to love yourself to the fullest. And it doesn't sound like you are capable of doing that right now. I think the porn should be the least of your worries right now. Does your BF know about your eating disorder? I think your problem with him lookin at porn comes from your insecurites with yourself. I would have a long long talk with your BF about EVERYTHING and then talk to a therepist and work on being happy with yourself and get past this eating disorder. Your health and well being is most important of all.

I have been through the same thing, and it is HELL!

everything you said sounded like the same thing i have been through.

I always confronted my boyfriend, i thought it was the best thing. Gosh at first i was heartbroken, it wasn't just porn...but also big long conversations with other girls in our area asking if he can go around to their houses for sex etc...

I dont know how we got through it, because i truly thought i could never trust him again.

It took a long time but my boyfriend finally realised how much it was hurting me, and he has stopped, and i know he truly has.

It was a very very hard time, i kinda did the opposite. I put on over a stone in weight and ate for comfort.

I feel for you right now, because it hurts so bad. And your right, it is like cheating...thats how i felt betrayed, angry, very hurt.

All i can say is that if you and your boyf want to make it work it will take alot of hard work, especially from him. But first he needs to know how you feel about this, hes nto a mind reader and will wonder whats wrong.

Keep us posted, hope this has helped.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one first of all. I never really had any problems with myself before this. And it's not a 24hr thing either. I know I'm attractive right now...but come a couple of hours (when he gets home from work) I feel like crap again.

I really don't feel like I have an eating disorder. I only vomit on an occassion...not all the time. Maybe a couple times a week on a normal week. Extra stressful is a bit more...but it feels great.

What do you think I should talk to him about first? I find it very difficult to talk to people about how I feel...especially guys. My last relationship was terrible and I wasn't "allowed" to talk or do anything really. It's made it hard for me to talk to my current b/f about stuff like this...especially face to face.

Lol, I'm ready to do what somebody on the diet board suggested once a while back and just leave this post hanging around lol.
