I agree to some extent. I don't think we should have to accept things we do not agree with, but in order for a relationship to work both partners have to bend a little bit. For instance, although I don't enjoy the idea of my partner viewing pornography, I do not let it ruffle my feathers and get to me because I understand that men need visuals and need to relieve sexual tension more often than most women. If he is alone and needs to get his jollies off then so be it and browse porn. But if we are talking about learning to accept our partners, I don't see how he is accepting me as a partner if he needs to visualize other women in order to get off with me. What is the point in having sexual contact if the moment of intimacy and bonding is made to be fake and made up to whatever he truly fantasizes and wants? In my opinion, he is not accepting me as a person and apparently he can't if he feels as though he can't perform to the visual and thought of me. I feel as though it is enough for him to fantasize through masturbation and porn, but when he is mentally ****ing someone else in the bedroom, I'm meant to say sorry for how I feel?
