How to get over your man watching porn?

Hey there! I know this reply is a little bit late, but I thought I’d throw my opinion in too!

I’ve been seeing this narrative online recently that watching porn while in a relationship is completely normal and should be blankety accepted. Just because something is normal, does not mean that it’s healthy or okay. It too long ago smoking was wifey accepted to be a completely normal and healthy activity for everyone to partake in! Comments like “It’s 2018, I can’t believe that there are still women who get upset at men for watching porn. If you have a problem with your SO watching porn you must have some serious problems. Work on yourself,” are ridiculous and frankly immature. Some people are okay with their partner watching porn and some people aren’t. Both are completely valid stances and no one should be shamed for honoring their thoughts and feelings on the matter.

You get to decide what you’re comfortable with in your own relationship and your thoughts son this particular issue are completely valid.

You mentioned that you already talked to your boyfriend about this issue and I’m not sure why the conversation entailed, but I think that having another conversation with him about your thoughts and feelings surrounding the matter might be a good idea. See if he’s willing to compromise and if not, I think you should really think about whether or not having a partner who consumes that type of media is a deal breaker for you.
