I found out threee months ago that my husband was addicted to porn and had been regularly been seeing prositutes for our whole marriage (seven years.) We have three kids, and I opted for restoration. He agreed to get help, and we started going to counseling at our church. Now he has had his first "relapse" - he visited a prosititute while out of town. I don't know what to do next. I am still 100% for restoration, and he is willing to get help, but we don't know where to turn.

Dear Jaya, I am sorry you are going through this terrible experience. I have some experience with this, as my H has had treatment for this same problem, except it turned out that my H had been having A's throughout our M. I would suggest that you and your H explore the possibility of him getting treatment at a facility that is experienced in sexual addiction. Like all addictions, this is a long-term problem that would be better dealt with by those with expereince and knowledge. No offense to your church, but that is probably not the best place to get really good treatment. You may be coming to realize this as he has had a relapse. I would suggest you do some searches on the internet on sexual addiction, there is alot of info available as well as support groups on-line for you and your H. I would also look into Sex Addicts Anonymous or other sex addiction 12 step groups if they are available in the area where you live. If not, AA would be good as well, as they are all based on the same idea. Altho something specific to sexual addiction would be better. My H goes to AA because he has other addictions as well. Also, SAA is not available inthe town where we live. We are in recovery, the one year anniv. of d-day for me is in 3 days. So far so good, but I know that it has taken a lot of hard work and dedication on his part to reach this point in recovery. The road has been very hard for me, I can imagine what you are going through as well. I went through it too. It is possible to recover, but the addiction needs to be treated and treated appropriately and effectively. Also, I owuld post in a more traveled part of MB, like general Q's, because you will probably get more responses there. There are some here who have experienced this either as BS or WS and would likely give you more advice. I have to go now, Ihave to get YD out of tub. I will check back later. I am sad to hear of your expereince. C
