AGONY
I love my boyfriend but I can’t see there being any future for us because he can’t stop looking at porn on the internet. It makes me feel sick, angry and totally inadequate. He says he loves me and fancies me but if this is true why does he need to spend hours drooling over women with fake tans and breast implants? If he knows it hurts me so much why can’t he just stop?
