What do you think?

I went to join my partner in the shower and caught him standing in front of the mirror, with phone in hand, playing with himself. Initially my mind went to thinking he was sending explicit videos to someone else, but he told me he was just watching porn. I’m now upset that he chose to go and have a wank rather than sleep with me and he’s told me I’m being silly. Would anyone else feel this way or am I overreacting?

Hmm. Why would he need to be in front of a mirror if he was watching the porn though ?

If I had a partner and this happen to me, I would also be a little offended. Let alone I'm not a fan of porn.

@Jessica so sorry to jump on here but I have to say, your hair is beautiful!

This happened to me before. I woke up to my husband j/o. Of course I'm like why the fuck wouldn't you Just wake me up and smack these cheeks right?!! Of course he gave a lame excuse and he really was looking at porn , (I searched his history) but I'm your case I think he was sending photos to someone. Why would he be standing in front of mirror watching porn? Unless he likes to watch himself jack off (which is very possible) hes lyin an he was sending shit to someone.

I would’ve been shocked he should’ve locked the damn door…but anyways if him watching porn bothers you he needs to take it seriously. But the mirror thing is weird unless he likes looking at himself 😆

He’s being a d!ck….I hate men. I would lay down the law with him on your expectations

I am the same way. I would be bothered as well, I have been in that situation before. He has you, he doesn't need that crap. Make your feelings known and set boundaries. If he cares and respects you, he will understand and abide by them.

@Holly thank you!! 🥰

Meh hard to say in my opinion. I myself will take time to myself in the shower too sometimes. So I can't judge lol.

Id feel the exact same way as you to be honest. I dont know why men have to look elsewhere when they have a partner, makes u feel worthless etc init .. U should talk to him an let him know how this has made u feel. Im sure if this was other way round an us women were more like this the men wouldn’t like it .. Well mine wouldn’t anyway.. Hope ur ok xxx

I feel the same as you, this would have hurt me a lot, make sure you voice your feelings, if he cares he should listen xx

I don't mind when my hubby j/o or watches porn. Sometimes he just needs to get the job done quick so he can go back to sleep, or sometimes he doesn't have energy for sex. No big deal to me.

It's just men to be honest.

Him watching porn isn’t what bothers me. I watch porn if he’s not around and when he found that out he was upset about it. It’s the hypocrisy for me and the fact he would rather have a wank then have sex with me when I’m literally downstairs. I’m insecure as it is atm because I’ve had 2 babies within 20 months. My youngest is only 5 months, I’m not comfortable in my body and this has just set me back even more. Thanks for your advice ladies

I call narcissistic and macochistic men Mirror Masturbators and this initially made me giggle. But it must have felt shit. It would bother me 1000% but I have a lot of trauma from my ex who was constantly cheating and masturbating and watching porn over me so its a huge trigger. Its the mirror part thats sus to me 🤔

At least he can't get you pregnant that way

I'd be very upset. Have an honest conversation with him, ask about the mirror, etc I hope you can work things out, and I'm sorry you are going through this ❤️

I watch porn and masturbate all the time when my husband is downstairs or in the house. Usually when I want to take a nap and can't fall asleep but don't want to take the time to have sex lol. It's quicker and more efficient, and I don't have to wait for anyone to be satisfied. I think it's normal for both genders. The mirror thing is kinda weird tho lop I have never had the urge to watch myself do that. Idk what he's doing with that 😅

That is a big hit to your self image. I completely understand because I have been in situations like that. It hurts. As a matter of fact, my kids accidentally saw that my husband had "hot moms" in his search history today of all days. I am hurt and angry and feel terrible about myself. I am a mom, to his children.

Was he holding his phone with his wanking hand?
