Normal for men to look at porn. No different than women reading romance novels. Let him be. Watch with him if want! No big deal.

It’s just porn… Watch it with him…:woman_shrugging:

Ur lucky he’s watching it an not going out to gt it… Gzzz lady settle down.

Sounds like the TWO of you are lacking are lacking an openess to express how you need and want to be pleased sexually. Find out( genuinely and calmly or it’s pointless) what he’s getting out of watching porn and then switch your mindset a bit while also creating boundaries so that he can come to YOU for those needs that YOU can enjoy with him. Masterbation is healthy if it’s done in healthy ways. Porn addiction is real.

I always love seeing these posts and how many laugh at peoples insecurities/boundaries. :unamused: just cause y’all are ok with it doesn’t mean everyone else HAS to deal with it and settle or be ok with it.

For a man to get sexual pleasure over anything other than his wife is adultery yes, even in his mind.
Would he agree to your letting him put a PG block on his phone?
His reaction when you propose that will tell you how important it is to him to value your marriage.

I completely understand I just broke up with my ex because of it cuz every time he had his horn issues he was cheating so one leg to the other and I’m done understand how it breaks your heart cuz you want to be more important to him than that I get it God be with you

Im sorry he doesn’t understand your feelings. I hope you can work it out.

I feel this!! We have battled this issues for 14 years. Unfortunately everyone says it’s just porn it’s not anything to worry about. But that’s a lie it destroys some people. I have finally had enough when he decided to not even give therapy a try.

Everyone please take a breather. I would first ask, why it makes you uncomfortable. Be honest with yourself, then bring those feelings to the table and ask him to be honest as well. Don’t judge eachother but, try to understand eachother. Most times, it’s one thinking of what could happen, and the other holding back for fear. Be open and honest… first with yourself, then with eachother. Good luck Hun.

No but if I saw my man looking at porn I’d be very hurt. Why does he feel the need to look at other women in this manner? It would make me feel that I am not enough for him. What am I doing wrong? Is he not satisfied? My ex used to watch porn and look up women that were the complete opposite of me. Can’t you see how this could make someone feel that their partner doesn’t like how the look?

24 years? He isn’t gonna change sweetie. You have 2 choices. Accept it for what it is and have fun with it. Watch porn with him. Do different things. Enjoy yourself. Or leave. Well actually there is a 3rd. Stay and continue to be miserable cuz, girl, he ain’t gonna change.

Well if he’s not going to change at least tell him to go incognito so you don’t see it, or leave him.

Honestly…I blocked his phone from being able to. So, if he approached me about it, I knew right there that it was a SEVERE problem. No complaints so far, hasn’t said anything.

I find it disgusting. If his boundaries are expected to be respected, so should yours. If he can’t respect them, that’s disgusting.

It’s uncomfortable for women but me are different they like looking it’s a man thing if it’s excessive or really bad stuff he needs help

I don’t think your overreacting. Some men are pigs.

You’re not overreacting! If he can’t give you that respect …… he’s not worthy of you love xx

It’s just porn…! I don’t get the big deal personally, he’s not actually doing anything wrong :woman_shrugging:t4: are you not projecting your insecurities onto him a bit? If you don’t want to see it then maybe he can do it in private. I think you’re definitely overreacting on this one, you can’t control everything someone does and sometimes we have to learn to just get over it and move on.

You’re not overreacting. You have set a boundary, again and again it is being disrespected.
Once a boundary is set, and that person chooses to stick with you, they need to honor that boundary. Simple. No two ways around it. What’s okay for others, is not for some and you shouldn’t have to rearrange something that’s showing respect to you to comfort someone else, ESPECIALLY if you’ve married them.

That’s really sad that adults treat innocent kids like that. What you need to do is look at your whole relationship. There’s a possibility that if you and him were to break up he probably wouldn’t be in your kids life.

You shut them out because because a comment of the 9 yr old. They are probably respecting you and your boundaries towards your kids and keeping distant for it. At the end you said you wouldn’t let them stay overnight or by theirs elves so maybe they are hurt by it? Instead of talking it out you keep quiet, maybe they are afraid of doing something wrong with your kids. Yall should go in there together, put your foot down with your bf to be in in with you, and tell them why you feel they can’t watch your kids. Try to resolve the issue like adults if you want the relationship to get somewhere. If yall cant communicate and resolve it, then find a different person to share your life with because too much separation going on and not enough together.

He’s right about one thing-your the problem. Not because your bad but because you have chosen to put up with it. Leave and co-parent. Work a second job if you have to during the time he has the kids. This is unacceptable.

He isn’t your boyfriend, he is a sperm donor. He goes to family parties with his eldest because they know about her. Odds are they dont know about you and your kiddos being his kids. Go tell them… ask why they didnt want them for Thanksgiving. See what they say. I bet they think their son is with someone else or single. By the way, you deserve more and yes he isn’t treating you or your kids right. At all.

I guess I’m the odd person out but it sounds like there is more to the story. If he is telling you that you are the problem maybe you should consider that if you truly want resolution. We are not always right. Your boundaries are fair but maybe it’s how you come across and it could be that the grandparents are not interested in the drama of it all.

Clearly there’s a parental bond with her grandparents. Was your man a teenage father What’s? What’s the girl’s relationship with her mom like? Did grandma have to step up and be a mother figure to this girl. You have also denied them the bonding experience that your stepdaughter has had with grandparents. And so what if they said they spanked her, that was your missed opportunity to discuss how you discipline your kids. Also, how does your family treat all 3 kids?

Honey, my boyfriend of a year and a half and my two children from a previous marriage are as thick as thieves. He wouldn’t go anywhere they or I were not welcome and I the same for him. If my children were not welcome with his family, even though they are step to him, I wouldn’t be with him. Period.

I was kind of in the same boat. I share an almost 11 year old daughter with my ex (who she hasn’t seen in 3 years). My ex has three other kids with his second ex wife. His family only ever wanted to see my daughter. It was always about her. Never his other kids. Luckily for me though. My daughter hasn’t seen any of his family in over three years. And she doesn’t ask. They are very toxic people

Your boyfriend is the problem. And this will not change. So you have a choice…stay and be miserable…or leave …hurt for a minute…and be happy in the long wrong. 2nd choice probably better for your kids.

Your not over reaching he’s being an ass to all of his kids. By allowing this he’s going to cause a rift between all of the kids. He’s also allowing his parents to complexly disrespect his younger kids and in turn also disrespect you.

You show equal love to all kids or you don’t get to see any of the kids.

Why do you want a relationship with these people who you know will put their hands on your children? Why are you with a man for 5 years who leaves you alone on holidays to be with his family & his child from a woman he no longer has a relationship with? Or does he? It may be time for you to move on.

I was with a guy for about three years and my daughter and I were never invited to any holiday events, either. I found out once we split up it was because they never saw us as a serious relationship or as (eventually) being a part of the family. We were never welcomed because they never thought we would last.

Nope. That’s fucked up

You’re not overreacting at all. You’re absolutely right! When you’re in a relationship with someone, that person and YOUR family, meaning your spouse and children, are the priority. Not that it’s ever excusable to exclude any children, but it MIGHT be a different story if the two youngest were yours and not his, but even that is cruddy. With all 3 kids being your boyfriends kids, he should want them all treated the same too. The fact that he allows that to go on with his kids, is extremely questionable. It’s also obvious that he really doesn’t care, because if you have addressed it with him and he continues to not address it with his family, it says a lot about him. My ex husband was a real POS and my family did not like him at all. At that time, I was oblivious to who he really was and I stood my ground. If my whole family isn’t invited, then none of us are coming. After that, he was included, even though my family didn’t really want to include him, but they did it so they didn’t miss out on time with me and my kids. Everyone just played nice.

I’ve kinda got the same problem! My oh mum always has his brothers children takes them shopping, holiday abroad loves spending time with them but my girls get to see her if she invites us all over for tea! They barely ever get to see her yet, alway ask why the others sleep over an why she doesn’t ask her! I refuse to beg anyone to be in their life as it’s her loss, but when you see it gets to the children it’s heartbreaking! Some people just don’t think how this effects the children! Anyway they will be told they don’t need anyone but the people that make time an effort to see them!

5 years and he still hasn’t done anything about it? Give him a choice. He either steps up and says something or you’ll find a man that will step up like a man. Your kids are being left out and they will later or already do feel it. Remember that. Kids over men all day everyday.

Need more back story, bc know a very a similar situation and it went WAY beyond her not letting the grandmother or aunts keep the brothers children @ all wout her hovering. And well, ALL great ppl.

Talk to them. All of them if needed let them know your feelings and listen to there feelings. Time is short and if they don’t want to take your feelings into consideration then don’t worry about it. I know its probably not what you want to hear but before ties get cut make sure there is communication between everyone then you can decide what you want to do.

Unfortunately you can’t control their involvement in his oldest daughters life. She isn’t your kid. You can say whether or not they can be in your 3&2 year old lives.

Edit to add, seems like it’s a good thing you don’t have to deal with them.

Well I guess they figured since you didn’t want your child around without you present then not to deal with you at all. I don’t see the problem here.

Yes it’s weird they don’t interact with their own grandkids without being given permission to “beat” them.

You’re not overreacting but I’d be more concerned about your bf leaving his spouse & TWO OF HIS CHILDREN home on Thanksgiving because “you weren’t invited”. That’s a bigger issue than his family not being involved with you & your 2. And you’ve clearly talked to him about it so, damn, just leave him & find what you deserve.

If he is willing to go to a Thanksgiving 2 of his children and his significant other aren’t invited to, then I would say he isn’t really part of your family with those 2 kids.
