Porn Addiction

[EarthFae]

My partner has a porn addiction and I recently found out he’s been going into work early to watch it. Not only that he’s been lying about it when confronted and made me feel like I was going crazy, I even booked an appointment to see my psych as I have a bipolar diagnosis and started to think I might be poorly. Our sex life is none existent and it takes away the closeness in our relationship. Is there anyway back from this? We’ve been together 10 years and he shows emotion towards this, however I don’t know if I can trust him anymore. Has anyone gotten over something like this and if so how?

The only way your relationship could get into a healthy place is if he fully recognises his addiction, and makes major life changes and seeks help to control and overcome it.... and for this to persist. He has to be desperate to change, and he needs to commit to be accountable to you as part of this so you can regain his trust.

If he won't do this, you need to look to end things.

He’s going to lose his job. Does he want to change?

So he says he wants to change. Has showed remorse but how do you trust someone again? It’s not so much the porn but the making me out to be crazy. I have said I will try but I’ve also stated that it doesn’t mean are relationship will work bc I might never be able to trust him and I don’t want to live like that.
