    Thank you for this. I am the sex addict in my partnership. We broke up due to me seeing sex as a very important thing to the relationship, I got angrier and angrier that he wouldn’t have sex with me. He wasn’t wanting it with me because it wasn’t something to connect with him it was solely to give me that high. We broke up and I within a week had sex with a new person, the next month another. I calmed down and realised it wasn’t fulfilling me, that I wasn’t getting any connection at all. I missed my ex badly for who he was, I realised I had been so selfish. He told me I was a sex addict and I would laugh at it. Women would tell me I’m just living life and not an addict at all. Eventually I realised he’s right. Had a breakdown about the implications, the fact my father was the root cause of what I thought was my personality. We are hanging out again, building a relationship again. And for the first time I’m holding off sex and we only want to do it when we have built connection. I’m excited for it and willing to wait for my first time of making love for real.

    I so needed here this today.
    I just finished a relationship for good after going back & forth over 7 years.
    The addiction and lies was getting worse.
    He has no intention of stopping & can not see how wrong it is.
    He blames me for insecurity & jealousy.

    Thank you so much for this! I've been holding onto this for 3 years and trying to make sense. I've been so hurt and angry and feel that this just pushes him further away..and deeper into the addiction..I'm going to continue watching your videos and hope he will too..and pray he reaches out for help. I know there is am amazing man inside of this!

    Up front with his addiction, healing, bettering himself, willing to eliminate his behavior on his own. So, yes! I'm walking in his Soul to help him heal. After decades of no attachments to these women, I'm a 1st for him to help himself heal. Love, communication, support, and honesty is what he needs!💗💗💗🗝

    Glad I found you. I often want to show men I care through sex and often am let down when they don't fall in love with me or worse call me a whole due to flirtatious ways. Then the man can't trust me then he turns abusive then I get abandoned. I have a high sex drive but once coupled I am loyal but often accused of cheating. It's like I can't win but I'll be honest deep down I do want to have a fun great sex life with the right man. For now I just do solo bc it seems like I attract the wrong kinds

      I love my wife, I am extremely attracted to her. She is a beautiful woman, and I want her to feel the same way about sex that you do, but she says she never will. I feel disconnected from her, I almost feel like I’m raping her. I don’t know what to do. I refuse ti leave her because we have a family and 2 little girls.

    So I think I’m learning from you- that as a boyfriend to a Nymph - there may be no satisfying her. Sexual cravings I mean if it’s building in her brain and she uses it to numb the pain of her past traumas - what can I do ?? Can’t say I hate her addiction- just can’t keep up and who has that much extra time ?? Again - what to do ????

    wait a minute the cunning and baffling thats the corner stone of AA "alcohol" . its unique its step ONE. we were powerless over ALCOHOL. its unique and its what makes guys who are sober for a few years drink again for almost no reason. (some have relationship problems and guarantees you will drink again if your relationships aren't rite.)

    What is they are willing to go to couples CSAT counseling but yet still deny that they are acting out (even though you have found evidence) and are saying that it’s a past problem and not a current one (past being six months ago, and prior according to them)? Is it worth trying to get them into a CSAT couples counselor at at this point overthrowing the relationship away?

    I’m currently with a sex addict, and it’s really hard to deal with. There’s been numerous times I’ve tried to leave but it doesn’t follow through. He’s very manipulative but has a good heart. I need some feedback what to do and how to deal with it. Do I leave or try to help him? I’ve caught him on numerous adult sites and escorting sites.

    My husband is a sex addict, and I've tried to end our relationship in the past, because it's clear he doesn't want to get better. However, he's threatened to reveal secrets about me to my family, and to tell them lies about me, if I do break up with him, therefore trapping me in a relationship in which it is impossible for me to be fulfilled. What should I do?

    Thoughts on the roots of sex addiction being related to something like adhd as opposed to childhood trauma? Not saying adhd can’t cause that on its own but in case it hasn’t.

    • @chasecorrigan6596
      @chasecorrigan6596 8 месяцев назад

      My therapist thinks adhd is part of it. But the root is lust. Allowing lust in your life at all will wear it down and you will act out. Porn, images, whatever you feed your senses will affect your mind then your heart. Cut it all out.

    the trauma doesn't only come from the pedophiles but the mothers reaction when she finds out can be traumatic and cause psychological problems for extraverted people . As the Greeks called it "going off course" the goddess Ate. and so now for the Home Coming the Odyssey. Enjoy the trip folks and for you who try I hope its not a tragedy.
