“This story starts about two years ago, when I started getting strange phone calls from a blocked number… He called one day and said, ‘I watch.'”

FTND, I wanted to share my story of how porn affected my relationship with my husband. Feel free to share it if you think it would be…

“I became hooked to porn as time progressed and the access became more easy. But a strange trend followed me as well: depression.”

“We had been dating for a year when I asked him, out of the blue, if he had a pornography problem. His answer started a journey I never could have expected.”

“It was like new glasses were put on me which showed me how pornography was impacting literally every area of my life. It affected the way I viewed love.”

“This was the man that was supposed to protect me from predators, and from the world…yet instead, I felt I needed to protect myself from him.”

“When the hardcore stuff stopped doing it for me, I started to search for simulated rape videos. When they ran their course, I tried to find actual rape videos.”

“I can’t tell you all how much happier I am since I’ve stopped watching porn…I was so unhappy with my life. It’s a drug, no doubt about it. “

Like most people, I was exposed to porn at an early age. My family was verbally and emotionally abusive…porn became my substitute, and my coping mechanism.

“I thought I was strong enough to fight through what was occurring but instead it was eating away at me. Porn has warped that man’s mind and hurt his abilities to have a fulfilling relationship.”

I can’t enjoy sex with him anymore because I’m too self conscious to the point it’s painful for me. I over-think about it, and how I look nothing like porn.
