Description

Dr. Rob and Tami share their thoughts on how to best approach the conversation with your sex addict partner who might be oblivious that they have an addiction. In same-sex male relationships, casual sex is prominent, and it can be very difficult to differentiate between what is a healthy relationship vs. an unhealthy one. Is it even possible? Dr. Rob knows it is and has been the only person to write in-depth on the nuances of these same-sex relationships among sex addicts.   TAKEAWAYS: [:30] I’ve been married for 30 years and I think my husband finally gets it, but I’m not even ready to have him see me naked. Is this trauma? [2:15] You’re not alone in these feelings! Seek a support group and keep working with a therapist. [5:45] My husband thinks celibacy isn’t normal. Is this true? I’m a betrayed spouse and he still watches porn. [8:00] My wife has asked for a divorce. I’ve started to masturbate again. I feel like I’ve ruined my recovery. How can I move forward? [10:10] Recovery is how we learn to do life differently. [16:00] Nothing in your life is ruined! [16:15] How can I talk to my spouse about sex addiction? [22:15] Dr. Rob is the only person who has written about how sex addiction affects the gay community. [24:45] When should I believe my addict? How can I really trust her again?   RESOURCES: Seekingintegrity.com Email Tami: Tami@Seekingintegrity.com Sexandrelationshiphealing.com Intherooms.com Out of the Doghouse: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating, by Robert Weiss Prodependence: Moving Beyond Codependency, by Robert Weiss Sex Addiction 101: A Basic Guide to Healing from Sex, Porn, and Love Addiction, by Robert Weiss Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men, by Robert Weiss
