Been together 5years. 2dc together.
Sex life was great in the beginning. Had ds after being together about a year. After 2mc and then 2dc the sex life has got not as great. Currently in property that had rode nt problem before we moved in and they were In the kids bedroom, luckily found out before we put their beds up so 4 of us are currently in one room until we are sure no rodents. So you can imagine sex life is minimal ATM.
Recently he's been a bit touchy feely with me - this is unusual because usually its just straight sex no foreplay ect. I didn't mind obv. But on IG I've seen he's liked some pages and pics of scantily clad women, nude pics ect, but has quickly unliked them so I don't see I suppose because it tells me he's following them or liked, but on profile or pic it doesn't. These are not celebs or porn stars ect, its just random women some from Russia and Hungary too Confused I saw it once and ignored but it keeps happening.
Today he went to work so I snooped on his tablet, (we have blocked porn sites due to dc) howver ve seen youTube searches for 'lesbian sex' 'spanking' 'porn secrets' 'how to get a girl hot' 'nude cleaning' 'whooty' 'bum jiggle' 'twerking' 'sexy mama' 'trying on lingerie' ect. Scrolled down a little further and see a sight where nudes are leaked and he been looking at pics of women. More of the mobile vagina selfieas ect.
So now I know why he's touchy feely with me because what he seea. Every time he goes to smoke in bathroom he takes tablet, that's what he's doing, looking at his searches! Sometimes he's in there fir 40mins.
I know porn is normal, but every time he's not with me its like he looks at this. Its really making me feel insecure and self concious. After 2dc I'm not in the best shape but I am trying to lose weight to feel better and look better. Still the tablet with his searches seen to get more attention. He works a lot and it just seems when he's at home he's smoking in the bathroom. We literally spend 3hrs Max with each other watching soaps

Porn addiction can seriously erode your confidence.
Affect your MH etc.....
So be careful what you put up with.
I'd be talking to him about all of this.

@hellsbellsmelons thankyou. I am already socially awkward as it is and my do thinks I ha e my problems but I'm too ashamed to talk to go about this

Straight sex no foreplay???

Those 40 mins a pop looking at east European vagina pics could be spent pleasing you so you might actually get some sexual satisfaction.

Jesus Christ I just despair of some men I really do ConfusedBlush

What are you actually getting out of the relationship at the moment? When he's home he's not actually with you, he's just smoking and watching porn whilst you're raising his DC and feeling bad about not being in the same physical shape you were pre-DC? That sounds like a pretty crap deal on your part.

A person doesn't need to cheat for you to end things. They don't need to "do" anything particular. You can simply choose to say it's not working and end it if you don't feel happy.

I love my dp dearly. He says he loves me. Even last night it took a while to put DC to bed because youngest is teething and bit under the weather. By time I came downstairs did the washing up, tidied toys and caught up with episode of cleaning up it was 12.30am I was knackered I went to bed. He tried it on with me, I rolled over said no went to sleep, 5mins later or so I was awoken by bedroom door shutting. Dp had gone downstairs - felt like he was gone for ages. God knows. Every time I woke up in the night, he was either not in bed or just getting back into bed

This isnt great at all. You need to talk to your DP, and why do you not mind no foreplay?

Nevergotobedfangry · 01/02/2019 15:10

It not that I don't mind. To say theres never foreplay would be a lie. But usually me giving rather than him

But usually me giving rather than him

Why? Is that something he has unilaterally decided?

Bloomini · 01/02/2019 16:01

"I know porn is normal" er.. not it's really not. You don't have to put up with this shit or accept as what men do. Not all men do.

As it is, it sounds like he is an utterly crap lover. No foreplay?

How'd he like it if he had to do the tidying up, soothing dc whilst you popped to the loo for 40 mins to pleasure yourself whilst looking at porn? I think if the roles were reversed he'd be outta there. I'd have it out with him. Shape up or get out.

Yoyooyo · 01/02/2019 16:11

Sounds likes he's got an addiction and will probably be really embarrassed if he knew you knew. But you've got kid together so I would just say something as I'd be concerned they'd stumble upon what he's looking at. Sounds like he needs help more than a scalding. Coming from someone who's suffered with similar stuff it is addictive and doesn't mean your partner is not enough for you or not attracted to them anymore.

RiversDisguise · 01/02/2019 16:40

I would not get upset about him viewing sexual material. He would prefer you but you turned him down so he pleasured himself.

The lack of foreplay is the worry here. Most men in my experience love seeing their women turned on and try to get her to come first. He sounds like a crap shag. If sex matters to you, you will both need to sort that out.
