OP: Fiancée watching Tranny porn after promising he wouldn't...

Here's the deal: I am engaged, the big date is August 30th, 2008. About 10 months from now. I love my fiance with all my heart and I know he loves me....but I have some major fears and insecurities about one issue in particular. My fiance watches trans sexual pornigraphy.
It started way back when we were dating. I had only known him for about two months at the time and he asked me to house-sit while he was away on business. While I was at his house, I was on his computer and couldn't find a web page that I had vsited earlier that day. I went into the history to find it (I am NOT computer savvy at all, but my brother showed me this one trick)> Anyway, I did find my page, but I also came across A LOT of trans sexual porn sights.....ie: men dressed like women with their "parts" intact. Now, I consider myself to be fairly liberal and open sexually. I am actually ok with porn in small doses and enjoy it myself from time to time, but this particular content confused me. I confronted him about it and he said he was just curious and it would NEVER happen again. I felt sooooo much better.
Skip to three months ago: We are now engaged. This time I was into the hard drive on our computer and I was trying to find an old resume that I had saved a long time ago. I was trying EVERYTHING to find it...called my brother, he mentioned to try clicking on "hidden files" to see if it was there. I did and what I found was file after file after file of porn, including A LOT more transsexual porn, along with internet dating sites for trans sexuals. He had sites book marked for places that he travelled for work! I looked at the times it was viewed and he was viewing it after I went to bed or when I was away. I confronted him again and this is what he said: It is a compulsion, he can't stop, he can only go for so long and then he HAS to look at transsexual porn. He says he has been doing ti behind my back for the last two years that we have been together and can not stop. He assured me he was not gay or bisexual. He said he has come to accept that this is a part of him and if I can not accept that, I should leave because I will not be happy........WHAT THE???!!!! We are ENGAGED! He is chosing his tranny porn over me.....he says he can't help it. What do I do???!!!! We are scheduled to see a counselor, but I can't wait that long. I don't know whether I should just pack it up and leave because he was dishonest and is chosing porn over me....or should I accept it and not over react.....or should I try to get him help because he says this is a compulsion!????? SOMEONE...please give me some advice. I love this man, I moved to a new city for him, we own a house together and we are engaged....I can't just let that all go!

Yes, you will never fully know the other...trust & respect are essential and both parties must be committed to making the marriage happy, workable, and staying regardless of what happens yet still wanting to make the others eyes light up when all is said and done.

The worst case scenario? Walk down the isle and end up in a bitter court battle over nothing--just to be free. You can eventually hate the person you once loved...as much as you learn [for a while]to hate yourself. When you pick up the pieces and raise to an expectation/level which you never dreamed you could achieve as a person...you made it. Then, you may or may not want to re-marry.

Fix it now. Take yourself, your future husband seriously, and the marriage. If it's not right; don't try to make it right--you cannot alone.

I am NOT responsible for YOUR emotions.
YOU are responsible for YOUR emotions.

"It could be that be probably isn't" - sounds like a guy trying to weasel his way out of facing up but you, Sirene, are by your own admission, insecure so no one's surprised. Face it and 'fess up.

If you want gentle fluffy bunny - talk to the others who will be more than happy to pet you, stroke your ego, and make you think that you're "da bomb". I do not have time for that. You asked the question. You got the response - even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear.

Most problems are not only simple but are of your own making. Notice, I said most. I did not say all. Take the emotion out of the question, consult your inner self, and move on with living the life you truly wish to live without pretence and without apology. Most of the time you know what the answer/remedy is anyway.

Hi Dawn ... do you not see the contradiction between the 1st and last part of your last post?

YOU ARE giving him the guilt trip about watching pornography ... that he is doing it without you, & "behind your back" ... and (especially) the last part of your message clearly shows that you DO care about the content. Maybe he always figured that your response would be so negative and THAT is the reason he felt he could not open up to you about it.

His "admission" to being ashamed and disgusted with himself is almost certainly just his way of placating you - rather than a true reflection of his feelings.

Whatever problem(s) he might have, you have to try and be more honest with yourself about your own true feelings and how they are impacting your (and his) ability to deal with this.

Good luck!

Heh...hahaha. This may seem VERY childish....but at the time it seemed like a good idea. My fiancé had just worked a 40 hour week (which is the regular week for me, but not for him....he usually works about a 20-30 hour week)....so a 40 hour week for him was 'exhausting". He came home Thursday night and went to bed. My client for Friday called and canceled....so I made it a point to "engage" my partner at exactly 2:00am that morning. I did EVERYTHING for him....and in the end I got him ROCK HARD AND READY TO BLOW!....and then I left the room....left him cold! I went upstairs to the computer room and methodically, "not due to an urge" began to look at porn on the computer. My very sore and very confused fiance came up the stairs and began to question me. Within 5 minutes...he knew exactly what I was up to and he did not dare to say anything more!
I think we are making progress! And if you are wondering why I just described the actions of a bitch so proudly....read the previous posts. I love him....but what goes around, comes around!....and sadly...it feels GOOD to leave him in bed!...I still love him though...but I like to see him squirm once in a while!

Dawn80, I feel bad for your partner. If I were him, I'd drop you in a heartbeat.

I am ignoring a lot of these posts and gaining great respect for a certain few. This is my first time posting any kind of personal information on a forum such as this.
You are right....I did not know what I should and should not disclose here. Other than the therapist, which we had to wait a long time to see, I really had nowhere else to seek advice on this issue. Also, there are some facts that I have not disclosed due to the simple fact that my fiance and I are in a very sensitive line of work....and I do not yet fully trust computers or the content that I submit here.
Although annoyed with some of the 'less agreeable' posts....(and you are right on that as well, I came here and asked for advice and I need to accept that some of it was rather harsh and pointless), I continue to follow this topic and respond as much as I can because I find it very helpful and comforting to simply TALK about this.
On the other hand, I did state in my original post that my problem was that I did not know whether to stay and help or accept that this is HIS addiction and leave. The fact that it is transsexual porn (although it does disgust me) is completely a surface issue. I do think I was quite clear about that.
