Description

Dr. Rob and Tami answer a question from an addict who has also been betrayed by his spouse. They have both hurt each other with their addictions/infidelities, however, it seems unfair that he’s in treatment for his demons and she is running around scot-free. Dr. Rob and Tami explain how you can move forward and focus on your own recovery despite experiencing a betrayal from your partner.   TAKEAWAYS: [:45] I’m absolutely DONE with my addict. I can’t move out yet, so what can I do for my own safety? [5:00] I feel like I’m repressing my sexuality when I’m sober. Because of this, I can’t seem to be sober for long periods. How do I become healthy? [8:50] Recovery is all about doing things; positive and good things for you. [9:45] How can I communicate to my separated spouse that I’m on a good recovery path now? [12:25] My SA is just not taking recovery seriously. How long does it take to stop messing up and get serious about this? [18:20] My wife has had a sexual affair. I'm not innocent either, but I feel like I’m the punching bag in this whole situation. Why am I the bad guy here? [21:50] My addict is just a mess. How can I safely disengage from all this pain? [25:15] When does it make sense for me to go back to dating as an addict?  [27:20] Is it common for terrible people to try and get “honorable” jobs to look good/better on the outside?   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
