my bf gets off to being depressed and insecure
he’s had depression throughout his life (so have i) but because of it he’s done a lot of self destructive things. we never had porn issues until recently we hadn’t had sex in a while, and i found out he had relapsed on a previous porn addiction (he lied to me that he didn’t watch porn). specifically it’s a lot of porn about being cheated on.
i just put it together this week and i think this fetish is why he keeps sabotaging our relationship. he will read through all my texts with past hookups, he read through my diary from years before i met him. his depression will get worse because of it and he’ll get off to the idea of me being with other men. he convinced himself i cheated on him and went through like a psychotic episode about it. he did things like this when he was sad and insecure, gets off to it, and gets even more sad about it. he has had very bad depression throughout his life and sabotaged all his ex relationships. he’s cheated to make them want to get revenge, and gets off to the feeling of being sad. he convinces himself that he’s poor/small/pathetic and gets off to that, gets sad about it, and continues.
has anyone dealt with anything similar?
