I am having problems with my husband (not the first time). I am trying to help him with a sex addiction mainly lately with intenet dating sites the adult ones and if it countinues I'm afraid it will ruin our marriage which includes 2 kids. How do I help him and cope with it myself at the same time??? I am 5 1/2 months pregnant and I am having trouble handeling the stress and heartache. If anyone has ever been through this they know what I mean by the heartache.

Yes, sadly i know way more than anyone in their right mind would want to know. Its a disease where ones sex/love life stages a hostile takeover bid for the rest of your life and wont take "no" for an answer. Surprisingly, of all possible addictions it is one of the most powerful and certainly one of the most unpleasant both for the victim and the family.
Yes, recovery is possible and there are several organisations simalar to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) that exist for sex, love and relationship addicts. They include SLAA, SCA and SA. There are many excellent books that deal with this disease but one famous one is called "Out of the Shadows" by Patrick Carnes.
For further information you can email me.

not sure how to help but first thing first, talk with him at a time when he's more calm and likely to listen.
tell him how you feel and how if will affect the family.
if you have already done that, you will need to go to the local marriage councillor for help.
work it out together, you are not alone.

are you getting help from a counselor too or is it just you trying to help your husband? this type of addiction definitely can be tough on both of you but i think it is made worse if you are being the main source of accountability

I've heard about this so called "sex addiction" I dont believe in it, I think its an excuse to sleep around.

it's just something he enjoys and it's something that you can take an interest in..and there for have some control over the situation but i don't think you can tell someone to stop doing what they enjoy
