My boyfriend has admitted he is a sex addict

Internet Porn Addiction | Sex Addiction

Two years ago for the first time in my life i feel in love completely with a wonderful man. I knew within weeks he was the one i wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

Over the next few months we moved in together and although the sex was never great i just thought that with time it would get better.After living together for a while i began to notice that he spent a lot of time looking at porn, i didnt have a problem with this at first as i didnt mind looking at it myself. We bought a house together and i introduced him to my family and my dad which was something i had never done before.Over the next few months i saw that the problem was getting worse but thought that he just needed to talk to someone i told him he had a problem but he would deny that it was.

He asked me to marry in at midnight on new years eve and i have never been happier in my life it was fantastic but after a month my father fell ill and i had to go away for two weeks. When i came back i found out that he had been on dating website and in the end i told him that he had a problem and he admitted to me he had. I could never walk away from him and i now realise that this is because my mother died of cancer when i was 6 and i have issues around it.

Now after months of his therapy and both of us being very upset he has moved out to try and sort himself out however within days of deciding this he had girls numbers in his phone. We have given our selves until new years day to try and sort out our own issues i just cant imagine a life with out him because i know he loves me but this addiction he has is so strong.

I have thought about killing myself the last few days since he moved out and it scares me, i dont want to feel like this.

did you stay or did you go?

If he knows you have issues with abandonment/loss and are extremely loyal than he may use that to take advantage. License to keep up the bad behavior. The more you accept the greater likelihood it will continue. His thoughts... i got caught, she yelled, she stayed, all is A OK. Guess I can keep doing it...a door mat is born.

I hope you didn't sign up for a life of looking over you shoulder with this guy. Two weeks while your tending to ill father he's on a dating site... and your not even married. Once married the hard work begins, he can't even stay committed before & with an engagement means a committment at least a pre-committment. Aren't you losing the TRUST here. Trust me little by little this will eat you a part. He's already turning away instead of toward you for sexual fulfillment. The dating thing... isn't that like saying your not enough. It's not because he missed the sex or converstion when you were gone. Kinda sounds like this guy has some inpulse control problems. I'd think long and hard before I signed up for this roller coaster for life. I hope you didn't say YES...you seem sweet, don't put up with this BS.
