I’m disappointed. I’m exhausted. I’m numb. My partner and I had a fulfilling sex life before I found out I was pregnant. However, against his will I made the decision to not get an abortion or give away my baby for adoption. This obviously put a heavy strain on every aspect of our relationship, including our sex life. He went from having a high sex drive to having none. 6 months past the pregnancy we’re in a much better place and are falling back in love with each other. He’s still said that he doesn’t have a sex drive at all—that it’s not me. The shock factor of the pregnancy has really messed with him mentally but it’s going to get better. I still have physical needs and desires, in which I’ve put on hold in support to him. I’ve tried making moves on him but he turns me down. Last night I woke up to him looking at porn on RedIt and jerking off. I called him out on it but he tried lying about it and then came clean. I don’t know what to make out of this. I feel betrayed. I’m hurt. I’m angry and overall just exhausted. I’ve willingly sacrificed myself in many ways for him, and stood beside him patiently to accept fatherhood. To see that he has a sex drive with other women but not with me makes me lose the hope he had given me. I’ve continually said no to other men who have attempted to pursue me, obviously because I’m in a relationship. I value loyalty even during hard times. What do guys think? If a man is physically next to you but mentally and emotionally with other women, does that constitute as cheating? Or am I overreacting and I this natural? How should I handle this?
@beemommyof3, to me this is where it starts. It’s a huge red flag! If he can only get off to other girls on the internet, then if the opportunity presents itself in real life—the likelihood of him moving towards the temptation is high.
Trust me he won't hide it like that if there wasn't nothing to hide. All he is doing is getting smart on how to hide shit. My husband when we first got together was like that he even would put it inside the pillow case while he slept. So one day I told him straight up if we are together then yolu are not allowed to hide your phone if I cant picked it up or grab it from some where for you then its over. I went thru his phone found so much I ended up deleting everything did a whole factory reset
@ilovemyfam, he wasn’t always this glued to his phone. I went thru it once and found some stuff, so now he protects that thing with his life—even while he’s asleep. I gotta find a way..
Oh see no my husband don't even have a password he knows better then that. While his asleep where does he put his phone? If he has it with him like that all the time then trust me there's more to it then him just looking at apps. Hopefully I'm wrong but im like 99% always right
@ilovemyfam, his phone is literally ALWAYS in his hands. He takes it with him everywhere he goes, including the bathroom. It also can only be unlocked with his fingerprint.
Well then try to log on it your self. He had to use his gmail or phone number. Turn he's phone on silent then go and put forgot password then get in. Do this while his asleep
I know its been hours you posted this but I'm just seeing it in relationship post. I think that you should go thru his phone all the way and see what else he's doing. If you go to the chrome then settings then site setting click where it says all sites and you'll see ALL the websites he has been on even if he deleted the history to it. I would consider that cheating. But me and my husband don't use no social media, or do nothing. I'm one jealous ass wife, my husband accepted me like this because I'm the crazy jealous as in don't even go on to look at Nicki minaj twerking video on Instagram kinda wife lol
@pink.panda, he used to watch it on a porn website.. but we were talking one day and I told him that now a days it seems like everything is a bit porn like. Even just scrolling down Facebook/ Instagram... personally I hate how sexualized everything is, but I can’t do anything about it. Now If you think he’s actually communicating with these women then you should definitely look in to it more.
@beemommyof3, he has said in the past to me and our friends, that I’m the best sexual partner he’s ever had. Now, it’s nonexistent. The few times we have had sex while I’ve been pregnant, he has seemed unattached and mentally somewhere else. It’s been really boring. He doesn’t make eye contact. He looks to the left and right. Keep in mind that I’m not overweight or a big pregnant woman. I still get hit on by guys.. he’s not exactly dealing with a lot of change.
@miniwolfe, we share a similar perspective. However, I don’t really know how redit works. Can you explain it to me? Also he was on the GIF page.. does that mean anything? Where/how can you check to see if conversations were had? He loves sexting so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s taken part in convos before.
Also, recently a family member pointed out to me how he was “eye fucking” a mutual friend of ours at a holiday party. Before he was extremely respectful and didn’t have a wandering eye. I’m noticing a pattern here and making a worse case scenario prediction.
I use to think it was such a horrible thing, but now it doesn’t bother me. For my husband, having sex while I’m pregnant has been very very awkward for him so it’s kind of taken away his sex drive. But that’s where I just had to figure things out and I made him more interested. I used to feel
so betrayed that my husband watched porn ( this Is when we were a bit younger) but then I realized that maybe there’s other things I can do for him to pleasure him in a way that no porno could do.
@beemommyof3, he denied it at first. I refused to buy into his b/s so I left the room. Minutes later, he came down and admitted that’s what he was doing and apologized.
@beemommyof3, to me this is where it starts. It’s a huge red flag! If he can only get off to other girls on the internet, then if the opportunity presents itself in real life—the likelihood of him moving towards the temptation is high.
@beemommyof3, I disagree with your perspective but thank you for leaving a comment. To me if he’s only able to get off to other women, then there’s potential for him to do it in person.
