The story

so i discovered my partner's been watching porn... like, regularly. and now i'm questioning everything. not because i'm some prude who can't handle a bit of adult content, but because it makes me wonder about our intimacy (you know, the kind two people in a relationship are supposed to have?). do they see me differently? has this become their go-to idea of what sex should be, or am i just paranoid thinking it's gonna mess with how we connect?

it's a weird feeling when you learn something like this about your partner... it throws you for a loop. am i supposed to be angry or indifferent? part of me wants to confront them and ask if i'm not enough or if there's something we're missing in our relationship that's driving them to seek out porn (yes, I'm being that blunt). but then again, maybe it's perfectly okay in moderation... who even decides what's normal??!

but seriously, does watching porn really change the dynamics between us? is there an unspoken rulebook here i missed out on that says whether this is damaging or harmless? i'm stuck between letting it slide and risking it eating away at my peace of mind or starting a conversation that could redefine what we mean to each other. ugh!!! imagine having to open up that can of worms just because someone couldn't keep their curiosity in check. charming.
