My husband is a sexual addict, who doesn't think he has a problem. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I understand your frustration. My husband has a sexual addiction also and it has only been within the past 24 hours that he has admitted to the problem and has said that he will get help. I have ben through this with him 3 times in 5 years. However, i finally had to get his family involved. We all confronted him. I had proof with his computer and pron web sites that he had been viewing.

Me and my husband have been fighting about his sexual addiction for the last 8 years. I finally put him to a decision, either the porn had to go or I wanted a divorce. He started a support group for sex addicts and has been porn free for the last 9 months now. It is an everyday battle to forgive him for what he has done to me, but it is possible to get through it as long as he is committed to getting over it. If not he won’t stop on his own is a compulsion thing, it is something they don’t even think about. My husband isn’t a bad man, he just couldn’t quite on his own.

Same problem. I'm a white male from south jersey. I think we might be on the wrong page Big Daddy. These ladies aint gonna help us. Shit, In Ny yer gonna get better therapy than me in jersey. I know it's probably more expensive though. That's one of those things though. Can we skip hiring a therapist and just do all the research and practice on our own? That would be tough to keep our eye on the ball if we're alone. I think we might just need somebody else to interject and keep us on track. It is all about stopping what we like, similar to smoking but different consiquenses. Hope it was good insight at least. Good luck.

I am a wife of a sex addict in recovery. He is 57 days sober at this time. We have struggled off and on over the years, but have been guided into a program that seems to be working. I highly recommend www.sexaddict.com. Dr. Weiss works with both the sex addict and the partner. I cannot say enough good about this program. We are still in the early days, but I'm feeling more positive about the survival of my marriage at this point. You can arrange for phone counseling. Also, there have been groups established in major cities around the USA. We are fortunate to live in a place with these recovery groups. Both he and I attend a group. I hope this helps someone.

first, It's important to remember that your body is your own!(You own it) no can touch you, unless you let them. what do you think about developing your Boundry's? around the opposite sex. It will feel strange at first but after a while you will get use to the idea that saying "No" Is a word that can protect you from entering harmful situations. try to talk to a counsler on this subject,if you need more support. also Practice if you like? in the mirror saying.the word "NO" is a word that will give you a key to an escape exit.when feeling trapped in protentaly harmful social situation and other kinds of situation'that may be unhealthy.unwanted sexual advances will be a thing of the past and you will build more confidence in yourself.and you will become Powerful! instead of powerless. Good LUCK!

Hello. you took the first step! You asked for help! there is a saying weather it's sex, drugs or alcohol addiction. the say goe's like this... "we are as sick as are secrets"! coming out of the shame. Is the first step to recovery. Have you thought about attending sex addiction meetings? (SCA) in new york or in your area.You can seek a therapist if you like, who can help you uncover some Pain from your past. All addictions stem from some type of child hood trama or trama from past relationships.you may want to also avoid people, places and things that may trigger your addiction. If you like, try and write down what type things triggers you? on papper, put it only where you can find it. You can also Make a List of things you need to do for today, and if that show about "How be romantic is on T.V. you can skip it. and remember that it is a "trigger"for you, and it may harm you and convince you to do other unhealthy things,creating a domino effect! and put you deeper in the sex addiction. causing you to feel bad for acting out sexually when you could have been doing something more helpful and meaninful for yourself. a "trigger" is a feeling like a rush that run's up and down your body it feels Lustful. too much of a good thing can be bad, you've probably heard that before? Good Healing starts when we are honest with ourselves. Good Luck!

husband wont admit he has a problem.              Reply to this Comment

Hello, Your Husband is at the very begining stage of his sex addiction. He is in The "river" in egypt! called.... Denial! I wish I could have gotten more details from you. (devoted wife,) Beileve me your husband is in a great deal of Pain and just like an alcoholic, his wheel's are spinning, in his head about how he is going to feed his sex addiction! it is sometimes automatic thinking and some times it is planned in advance. your husband has not hit bottom yet! he has not lost a job? or been arrested or has spent lots of money on sexually degrading materials or has he??? Or worse! caught an S.T.D yet? If you want to mend your relationship and make it healthy again,"I'm not saying, do for him what he needs to do for himself." No!!! you can be supportive when he is working on riding himself of the negitive impusles that often come with sex addiction. you are not getting what you deserve in the realtionship...Intamacy!(wife) It's time to face it and replace it! with something postive,like maybe going to 12step groups for sex addiction, look on the internet. for SCA mettings in your area. He has an disorder that is causing a big gap in your relationship. make sure that all pornography is out of your home!throw it out with him if you want,it will only fuel his sex addiction,and it's damaging to his self estem,the more he gives it attention. It's usually caused by trama, shame and a lack of self love and care! also it's an escape! so take care of yourself by talking with your husband (if you like?) about having a plan to arrest the sex addictin before it wastes more time. and hurts your heart!Good Luck
