hi I'm pregnant and feeling a little insecure about my body before i was pregnant i was a very confident person my boyfriend has been watching porn after i asked him not to an he said okay no problem an once in a while id ask if he watched it an he said no he can't see any girl in that way besides me an then a couple days later he came over and me in him were doing the "grown up" all of a sudden his phone starts playing porn i ignore it but confront him about it the next day an he gets mad an tries to put it on me then keeps changing the reasons as to why he watched it also he said he watched it to get turned on before he came over so now i feel like I'm not pretty enough to turn him on an on top of it i look nothing at all like the pornstars he watches I'm way uglyer... how should i react shuld i feel hurt especially if i tell him how self conscious I've became sense pregnant an the fact that he lied about how he sees other females.
May I ask how old you are and if you have made plans to live together at any point in time? How far along are you?
Is your insecurity only from feeling less sexy and attractive or are other parts of the relationship causing you to feel unsure of the future and the relationship? Is he making a greater effort to give you attention since he isn't living with you?
I know how it feels when you are pregnant and your sick, gaining weight, body changing, and hormones are all over the place. Adding worried about the future (another fun part of pregnancy) to the mix and it can make you feel more sensitive to even the smallest thing that causes a small doubt about yourself and how you think he sees and interacts with you. However hard it is you need to accept that there are some things you can't control and they do not affect you.
You shouldn't have asked him to give up porn. He shouldn't have said he would. It only fed into your own insecurity and caused even more worry because you kept asking him about it. Now, you know he 'lied' about looking. While he should have been truthful from the beginning, what he did was tell you what he thought you wanted to hear. He was trying to be sensitive to your needs and feelings. Yes, I realize he finally came out and said he looked to get aroused before coming over to see you, but I have to wonder if he blurted that out in the midst of the disagreement when he might have been feeling cornered and defensive.
Something to keep in mind is that 'porn' is just one form of erotica. It is the same concept for men as romance novels and romantic movies are for many women.
You know, the person whose opinion counts the most about how you look and whether you are attractive or not is you. His opinion should enhance how you feel about yourself. It shouldn't replace or have more value than your own.
