Hi all,
120 days without PMO, a whole year without porn, however he still struggles... Well, we both struggle...
My partner and I went through a difficult time, I am sure all of you can relate to...
A lot of fights, insecurities, awkward moments, lack of understanding, and tears... but also a lot of love, support, care.
But is has been such a long time that it is hard not to lose hope and energy to keep trying.
We put all our hope in the 90 days of reboot and were convinced or hoping that it will work.
It was hard for us to not have sex, particularly for me...
I felt undesired, unwanted, unloved...
He has hardly any libido for a long time by now.
And I just don't know how to deal with it, how I should keep waiting for our relationship and sex life to become healthy and fulfilling again.
But I don't want to leave him... but it is tearing me apart.
I struggle with anxiety, sleeping issues, insecurity, intrusive thoughts...
What can we do or try? How did you approach the addiction, the reboot, and recovery with a partner?
How can we survive this?
We both want to fight his addiction and not each other!
But his addiction is also changing me I'm afraid.
The focus went obviously on him and I sometimes feel forgotten, even by myself...
I think it would be great to hear from your experiences to not give up, to get some hope and perspective...
