Can't believe I'm doing this...

Not much help to you but I probably look at more porn when inside a relationship than when i'm single!

Also i'm lucky that my missus 100% knows I have/watch porn and doesn't mind, she sometimes sneaks a peak herself (she doesn't understand Recent Items and WMP history lists) :D
 
Lol - stop grovelling for one. I would simply forget about the porn bit and make it about how you're disappointed/upset about her snooping on your PC.

She's in the wrong, not you. ;)
 
Girlfriend of 2 years found questionable images on one of my old hard drives


So? every bloke has a porn collection dont they?

Queue a very long night of apologizing and comforting as best as I could

Why?

Her theory is that I shouldn't have to ever use pornography or look at/think about other women. She thinks that she's not perfect to me, not beautiful, etc. which is all of course not true. I think she's amazing and one of the best things that's ever happened to me. She is beautiful, I love her. Again, none of this got through to her.

She's crazy and a women, she obviously won't understand

Next question was if I have ever watched porn while we've been dating. I couldn't lie to her and I told her I have, but it doesn't make me some sort of scumbag or mean that I love her/think of her any less. I couldn't even explain why men do it, just that we do.

Every bloke watches porn, it's normal

She told me she felt sick/disgusted and wanted me to leave her alone. :(

What the hell do I do now? :confused: I wish I just lied to her but I couldn't bring myself to do it

I'd leave, if she's this bad now, whats she going to be like with a kid? she sounds crazy mate
 
Another case of a girl thinking that men are these prince charmings which we're not. Tell her to get her head out of her ass and be realistic.

If she's never brought up the topic to discuss about whether she personally thinks it's cheating or not then that's her fault.
 
OP i have had the exact discussion you had with my ex (she didnt find any of my smut mind you, truecrypt takes care of that!). She felt like she wasnt good enough and i was in effect "turning to porn for my needs", as many have said some women just cant get their heads around it and think of it as an "alternative to them", which it isnt - far from it.

Also, one for all you youngsters in the room, when your other half/future other half ever asks you do you think about them while doing it, never answer "no of course not, why would i do that, i can have sex with you right here" - rookie mistake on my part! :)
 
I think a lot of men have experienced something similar, whether it be porn, or some other skeleton in the closet, to even just having lots of racy "babes" pics - where your other half has felt a bit put out that you'd want to look at other women.

Now to men, it doesn't mean you desire your other half any less, and that you wish she was like them (generally). However some women do see it like that, and feel as though they are not good enough, and no matter how much you're able to try and tell that you are utterly and absolutely devoted and beyond in love with them will convince them otherwise. It's frustrating but that's part of what it's like being in a relationship at times.

Personally, I wouldn't have done the grovelling thing, I'd have apologised if it offended her, but that it was just something you had, and it means nothing. Heck, I let people use my PC with the understanding that if they find anything there it's absolutely because it's innocuous.

Obviously if you KNOW that's how she'd react then I'd suggest you're more careful with hiding such material, if you don't know, well, one would hope that after a while together you'd trust one another enough to be able to deal with your problems in a mature way.

I hope you're able to calm her down. It's hard for girls to understand it's not a negative reflection on them, and heck, men generally tend to have a slightly more rampant sex drive... suggest maybe that you'd like some racy pics of her instead? ;)

Hope you get it sorted mate. :)
 
Tell her to get a grip and stop being such a feminist pansy. Then if she doesn't except that then I guess its time to download some new material for the old folder until you get a decent woman who knows men look at porn.

or just get a bi one like me who likes my lady porn :)

a lot of women like porn these days. she just needs to stop being naive
 
If a women feels they're not good enough for you because you watch porn, my reponse would be "When you let me do the kinds of things that they do on the internet" then you'll be "good enough" lol

EDIT: Yes, my girlfriend is dirty, and likes anal, hell she's even into bondage, shame I'm not
 
During my year in Japan I spent the entire time pointing out ridiculously hot girls to my girlfriend and all he did was enthusiasticly agree. She once even got the phone number of a half naked dancer in a club.

Point of this story: you should go out with my girlfriend. Or asian girls are hot. I'm not sure which.
 
2 things mate, 1) trust issue 2) over reaction.

Keep apologising but lets face it, most men would pick up on the over reaction first and go on the defensive, not apologise.

So think of it that way.
 
My girlfriend found some naked pictures of her friend on my hard drive lol, she took them for her photography portfolio, thats was an awkward few weeks lol, now I've learnt to hide my porn better and use passworded folders lol

I would apologise for upsetting her and (always a classic Nitefly tactic) make sure you get accross you understand their viewpoint, BUT all in all it's really not that bad and it's certainly not uncommon.

Then leave the ball in her court saying 'it would be very silly to leave it at this for that reason'.
 
My personal favourite apology "I'm sorry, that you...."

1. Took it like that
2. Got upset by it
3. Found my stash
4. Misunderstood me
5. Caught me (not had to use that one yet, I don't cheat)

Lol
 
Reminds me of my ex, she found an FHM calander I had been saving for the new year and wrote "HAVE THEM!" on the front of it.

On the plus side, she didn't ruin the actual calendar so I still got to put it up in my bedroom.
