Partner isn’t interested in me

So my partner and I have a child together. He’s absolutely uninterested in having sex with me, preferring to watch porn (it’s a deal breaker for me and he knows it). No hugs/kisses/affection of any kind. Just need to vent I think

Porn isn't actually a deal breaker though, is it - you know he watches it but you're still with him.

I understand you just want to vent but can I ask - why are you still with him?

IF we had sex, i probably wouldn’t mind as much but he turns to other women for his enjoyment. I’m with him because I can’t leave him yet.

I always used to wish he’d see how much it hurt me and he’d stop doing it. He’s prepared to lose me and his child over it, and he will when I can

That sounds a bit shit. I’m so sorry OP. If he won’t respect you and you want to leave, I hope you can get out when you can. Stay safe x

Have you made plans to dump him?
Hopefully you didn’t give up employment to raise his kid? Do you have somewhere to live and aren’t dependent on a disinterested boyfriend?

Leaving him will happen. Just save up, make a plan and then go. No one should live with someone who does not care about them.

How is porn a dealbreaker if you’re still together?
