My SO and I promised back in the beginning of our relationship to not masturbate, but rather wait till we were together to have the other help release the desire. Not like sex, but hand jobs. Anywho, I am not very good at handling stress and addictions run through my family. I am addicted to masturbation, sounds weird but I am. I broke my promise, and as far as I know he hasn't. I'm trying to kick the addiction, but I feel bad like I should tell him. I just don't want to upset him and make him more stressed than he already is.
