I have posted only a few times to this forum, but read it often. I am 8 months into recovery with H, who had affair while I was 7 months pregnant withour second child.<P>Recently, he has discovered and revealed that he has had a sexual addiction for 15 years. The affair was the most significant way that he acted on that addiciton, but aspects of the addiction have affected us since our marraige nine years ago. He is in counseling now and we are reading a book entitled, "Out of the Shadows". It was recommended to him by some of you.<P>My question is. . . Have any of you had experience with this? If so, what are some ways I as the betrayed/co-addict can deal with this issue and restore some love for my husband. Right now my love bank is WAy in the red and the hopes of ever coming out look dim to me. Can any of you help?

I think that I too am addicted to sex (not so much the act, but the need for closeness and attention). I just wanted to let you know that I'm hoping for answers to your thread and I thank you for posting it. I'm sorry I can't offer more, as I have no idea how to deal with this problem.<BR>FC

Hi there, Bella O and facing choices,<P>I am in similar circumstances, Belle O. My H and I realized he was addicted to porn and mast. this past year. He did not have an affair or contact physically with any other women while we have been married to my knowledge. We are still working on all of this together.<P>If you would like to talk more, please email me at c-d@eudoramail.com I would be more than happy to discuss whatever you would like in private. Hope you do not mind that, but it is easier than finding posts on the forum.<P>You can also find more info at <A HREF="http://www.sexaddict.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.sexaddict.com</A> and there are non-12 step resources out on the net too.<P>facing choices: You can probably also be helped by the above site. First you must decide if you are truly addicted and only you can do that possibly with a therapist. Doug Weiss is very good (the above site is his).<P>Hope to hear from you.<BR>Hugz and prayers,<BR>Thoughtful
