Superb Opinion

  • Yeah, you should, unless you want to be living your relationship in a lie. Even if that means that she might break up with you, you can't keep it from her. I will give a few reasons why you have no other choice but to tell her. The first being that your sex life will be compromised because of it and that she will notice, in fact, the reason that she said she want to break up is probably that she already noticed to a large degree. The second being that, if you want a fighting chance to save your relationship the best way is to open yourself up and put yourself in a vulnerable position that shows that you are not happy with how things currently are and that you want to change. If she loves you and she cares for you, and she is somewhat emotionally mature, she will see and appreciate that you show your vulnerability and that you genuinely want to change, and she will feel naturally inclined to support you in that choice if things aren't pushed too far. The third being that the predicament of addiction, regardless of your relationship, will affect you personally, and it will only grow stronger and potentially affect different aspects of your life as your brain constantly rewires itself. Neuroplasticity is a powerful phenomenon and the further you push it, the harder it will be to find a way back. But don't let that discourage you, you have all the power to turn your life around with dedication and perseverance, your mindset is all that matters.

  • Should tell her, if she really cares she will take. Time to talk more about it, if she's makeing rules beware

    • You could tell her that just a little porn might allow her to bring a trained dog act in while nude and become an overnight porn sensation! She could maybe rename herself Marilyn Alpo!

  • I'd say tell her.

    Make a porno with her if she's up for it.

    • Hmmm

  • Absolutely! You can't keep an addiction from your girlfriend forever. Might as well tell her now.

  • You need to work on that addiction because it will lead to more problems in your relationship if you continue. You eventually will become desensitized sexually with your girl

  • Don’t think it’s a good idea to tell her cause she might think different of you after

    • I tried to stop but I don't know how.

    • I can’t guarantee I can help but I can listen tell me how long you been watching porn for

    • Probably all my life since I was like 6
