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!

[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?
