I am engaged to a man who I really love. He was the one who wanted to date me so bad and I kept turning him down because I was wanting to go on to medical school and I thought a relationship would hurt those chances. Finally I decided if he is the one than I am really hurting my chances so I said yes. I really love him and we got engaged last September. I didn't use to have a hard time trusting him until I found a stripper game on his cell phone, and I was pissed. He lied to me about it and said he had no idea where it came from, and I am smarter than that so he finally confessed. I forgave him because it wasn't the cartoon strippers I was mad about, it was him lying. I am not okay with porn in any form, as I find it degrading, and no one can compete with that. After all how would most guys feel if you were fantasizing about some other guy during sex? Before we started dating he admitted he used to have a problem with porn and it has since stopped. A few months after the phone thing I found out he registered at a raunchy dating website which he again denied but there was a username at the top only he would have picked, so I was again, smarter than he thought. He apologized for that and we almost broke up. I told him he can't lie anymore and he said he wouldn't. I felt sick and wanted to throw up on him so I didn't talk to him for a few days. A few days ago I knew he looked at porn and crap again and I asked him and he told me the truth. That he looked online and rented some movies from the store. I just about died. That after all that he would do that...he knows how I feel. It makes me feel terrible since I was made fun of so much throughout my life. I know he loves me but I can't trust him very well and he says he won't do it again but I can't make myself forget. Also when we're in bed he won't look at me. He always makes me face away and calls me mean names. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have an opinion?

I agree with Ragman.

I personally wouldn't mind the porn as much as the utter audacity
of him, making you look away during sex while he himself cannot look
at you at all. Where is the intimacy of making love together?

Get rid of this loser, the sooner the better!

Run, run as fast as you can. Any man that can't look at me in bed, doesn't even make it to my bed.
I feel the same as you do about the porn, but what sent me through the roof was when you said he makes you turn away in bed.

This guy is nothing less than a loser and I'm actually being nice because 'loser' isn't quite a strong enough word for this selfish ass!

I'd rather spend the rest of my life on the planet, completely alone, than to have anything to do with the likes of a man who would stoop to such a level.

I personally think you deserve much much better than that.

My best to you.

Phleb--

Welcome to A2K.

This guy treats you like dirt instead of making love and he expects you to believe that he loves you?

I'd be more upset about the lying than the porn, but being treated that way in bed.... This is definitely not a healthy relationship for you.

if I were a betting man, I think you already know the advice given to you here so far. You may have needed to see it again for strengthening and validation.

Run ... don't walk away from him. build your life around your dreams not this nightmare of a man. You can't get your strength and feel your self-worth from this 'soul vampire'. Don't let the ghosts of your past (need for approval) rule and ruin your present pursuit of happiness.

Take the first step and get this person out of your life.

Porn is not ok for everyone. It's not something I could live with in my life.

You mentioned something about going to medical school. Is that still in your future?

If it had not been for the last sentences I would not have understood the whole problem and just assumed that it was a simple incompatibility.

He likes porn, you don't!
That in itself does not have to be a problem.
The problem is that you cannot accept the fact that he likes porn.
So therefore my suggestion would have been: If you cannot accept the way he is, leave!
It's not fair for you to expect him to change to suit your likings.

However, after the last (four) sentences of your post, my advice is:
Just leave!

him lookin at porn?
first of all, it seems to me that you have a jealousy issue, lack of trust in your relationship, and you are very controlling. Why are you checking your boyfriends cell phone, and checking the computer to see what he has been searching the internet for? That type of behavior you are exhibiting will make your man lie to you, because he doesn't want to be hassled and checked up on every day. If he has a problem with porn and he doesn't try to fix it, your nagging isn't helping. You need to either find a way to deal with his obsession until he decides to stop or find yourself another man who doesn't like porn. Good luck finding one who doesn't enjoy porn every now and then. You don't mention having any religious reasons for disliking porn, so my guess is you just can't stand to see your boyfriend looking at it. As for the name calling in bed, he may secretly dislike your snooping and he is taking his frustrations out on you. I would advise you to stop with all snooping and get some help yourself before your boyfriend gets physically abusive instead of verbally abusive. My advice log on to Dr. Phils' website or watch his shows. He has a wonderful way of addressing the type of issues you are dealing with. By the way, I am a woman , married with kids, and I have been through what you are dealing with. You cannot change him, he has to want to change. If he is verbally abusive even when you are not checking up on him RUN!!!!!!! It only gets worse. Not trying to have a double standard. I don't like jealousy at any level, and don't like abusers either. You can only fix yourself.

If I can't find a man that isn't satisfied enough with me and has to resort to porn, I'll happily live without one Cool
