Need Support
I'm reaching out because I don't know what to think, feel, or do. my partner (m27) is a PA, and I feel like I'm drowning in the pain of his actions. It has escalated from porn to what I consider cheating (exposing himself to women in live chats), and I'm absolutely shattered. He's even doing it while I'm feet away from him.
He, in a very diluted way, told me this was a problem for him when we first started seeing each other, but I had no idea how bad it actually is.
I recognize the power addiction has over people because I was an addict once upon a time. I can empathize, but I'm really struggling to be supportive while I'm hurting so badly.
I want to help him through this, but I don't even know what conversations to have or what limits to suggest. Right now, I just want to crawl out of my skin.
Can anyone give me some insight or suggestions? I'm drowning in this, and I don't know what to do.
