For the partner of a sex addict

Your partner’s sex addiction is not caused by you, in anyway, it is caused by his choices. You feel like you need to go against his sex addiction. It is his problem not yours. If he admits his problem that he is sexually addicted, he can be helped but if he does not want to admit his problem then his defenses can be broken through with help and proper guidance for you. If you try to break his defenses on you own you might make it worse by presenting your self as someone who is trying to take away his “favorite toy” because that is how he feels about his sex addiction. A sexual addiction, if not overcome, destroys good marriages and ruins families. The relationship can also be healed while struggling with sex addiction. Below are some of the signs you can look for to discover if he is sexually addicted.
