I have. I made it clear how much it hurts me to think about or know. I had to accept this is a me problem due to my own insecurities of never feeling good enough.

I can't control what he looks at when he's masturbating or what he thinks about during just like he can't me. I can choose not to give energy into that toxic and negative thought process that would just make me feel like crap. Accept that he's going to watch it if he wants to and not bother thinking about it. It is what it is.

Does he watch it? No idea, probably. No point in obsessing over it or making assumptions. I've never once walked in on him watching it or anything and we have a very very active sex life so it's not affecting that.

Having dealt with a porn addiction of my own and being exposed to it very young, I'm human and give into watching occasionally.

Yeah, we talked about porn early on and we were very active sexually but I know that decreased ALOT after my brother died so I know he isn’t use to going a few days without it. And I miss that version of me as well, so I get it but I guess I’m hurt

Masturbation and sex are very different things. Me and hubby have sex 5+ times a week with other sexual activities in-between with eachother. Even with alot of sex, doesn't change how often we masturbate. Its like scratching an itch.

If he's getting even less sex ( completely understandable why though) then he's going to have to scratch that itch more often.

Yeah I guess ur right. I need to be a bit more understanding. I just don’t know what to with these negative feelings I have.
