?I believe my husband may be a sex addict, but I may never know for sure. He refuses to talk to a counselor, or anyone for that matter. He completely isolates himself from other human beings...

Hi, I am 20 years old and in December of 2011 I found out my fiancé has a sex addiction.

Note from JoAnn: I have searched through my archives for stories that I have not posted. Some of these, such as this one, were sent last year or the year…

Dear JoAnn, I'm not married nor going out with a s*x addict. But I am attracted to someone who I believe is a Sex Addict. He's a 2-year old work…

It was a little cathartic writing this. Thank you.

We met in 1991. At first all we did was talk. I was just out of a relationship that had ended badly and I wasn’t looking for anything but friendship. Over the course of six months we talked about everything, from politics to our beliefs about relationships.

That ended and something else began when he asked me out on a date. I’m short and average looking. He’s tall and very attractive. I couldn’t believe he wanted to date me.

Thank you so much for your website.  I'm only a few weeks into finding out the truth about my husband's Sex Addiction,  so I'm still in the shock phase. I…

I’m so glad to have found this website. My story is about how my husband has successfully managed his recovery from Sex Addiction, but the deep wounds that his addiction caused still remain.I have been married 8 years. Four years ago, my husband admitted to sleeping with prostitutes and strippers, as well as an enormous porn and sex chat addiction, during the first four years of our marriage, including during both of my pregnancies.

JoAnn,

I have attached my story. I was divorced June 27, 2011 because my ex filed for it.

I was married for 12 years to a man who had been very abusive towards me. When I first came into his life I didn’t know that he was sexually deviant.

When I was pregnant with our daughter I found an old phone bill that had 900 numbers on it in the amount of $2,400.00. I then found several pieces of paper with mail box numbers on it, giving the person’s sex preference, height, weight, & age. It would list their race and BF which stood for Black Female or Bi Female. (more…)

I recently discovered that my husband of 22 years is a sex addict. It started with his "out of the blue" request for a divorce in Feb. of this year (unbenownst to me, he was in the middle of an acting out binge at the time).
