Insecure

Sorry if this is TMI, but I'm feeling really insecure about my relationship and I don't know how to shake these feelings. My husband and I were talking several hours ago and the topic of adult films came up. He admitted early on he use to watch them while I was pleasing him. He claims it was because he enjoyed the risk of possibly being caught and it had nothing to do with my performance. He also admitted to watching it before he goes to bed to get turned on before we would have sex. Both of these have made me feel so insecure. He is the only guy I have been with, but he has been with multiple other women. He has apologized for making me feel this way and has asked how to fix, but honestly there is nothing he could do. Does anyone have advice on how to get over this so I don't let me insecurities ruin our relationship or my way of viewing myself?

    To be honest I think that’s a normal human reaction and many of us, myself included, would feel the same way!
    It’s easier to pretend they don’t exist but if you’re not comfortable with them, bring it up with your husband perhaps. He may think it’s an overreaction since they’re friends only but there’s no harm in making sure he knows how you feel.

    He knows how I feel. I guess all of this just comes down to me not feeling good enough. I feel like he used porn as a way to be intimate with me because I wasn't as experienced as the other girls he had been with.

    This is where I think he needs to feel more comfortable in teaching you things perhaps. You can’t expect someone to do things a certain way if you don’t tell them. It can be an intimidating conversation to have but on both sides if you don’t like something or you want something new for example, it won’t just magically happen on its own!
    If he won’t initiate the conversation then maybe bring it up with him and ask him what he likes, what hasn’t been tried yet that he wants to try etc. This will also allow you to voice your wants.

    Well maybe the alcohol gave him the courage to speak on it, but I think you should try to still engage in a full blown open conversation about it. Be honest and stern. Tell him how this has made you feel empty and uncertain. Maybe even go to a park and text him all of this first. That way he has time to process the situation in order to avoid a possible argument by potentially catching him off guard with confronting him. IMO even if you have an amazing relationship otherwise, sexual insecurity/secrets/confusion are some of the things that can make couples feel like they don’t even know who their spouses are at that point. I’ve gone through something similar in the past so if you need someone to listen further, feel free to DM me at any point♥️
