Failed to disclose porn addiction

Lied to my best friend and girlfriend about my porn addiction, fearing her reaction and losing her.

What I wish I knew
"To be honest and open with her, even if it meant risking her leaving."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest and transparent in relationships, even if it's difficult."
