relationship advice- boyfriends addiction?

Question by nena: relationship advice- boyfriends addiction?
as a teenager and young adult my boyfriend has had issues with porn addiction. He comes from a very religious household where he was never a good enough son to his mother. Even now he has issues with her negativity and lack of encouragement at the age of 26. We’ve been together 3 years and just last week I found out that he has been internet/phone friends with a woman in california for years who sends him naughty and explicit photos or video via phone. He has recently gotten a camera phone and he has also sent her the same type of material. I have no doubt he loves me, he treats me like a queen — hes a perfect gentleman and my family loves him. I guess what I’m questioning is if I should even stick this through or break up until he fixes the issue. He cant afford “help” other than talking to his pastor which is his plan to do. I’ve broken up with him but I feel guilty like i’m abandoning him when he needs me the most… he really has nobody else to confide in. any advice?

Girlfriend, you better start having doubts that he loves you. And excuse me, but a perfect gentleman does not send another woman explicit material of himself. Time for you to get off that pedestal you think he has put you on and realize what type of man he really is.
