What is a sex addiction?

Sex addiction is a compulsive behavior by a person also known as sexual dependence. Sex dominates a person’s life and his daily activities. Sexual addicts make sex a priority more important than family, friends, and work. Sex becomes the organizing principle of addict's lives which makes them quit what they cherish the most due to their unhealthy behavior. The sex addiction is fatal, not only to the victim but to their spouse. Below mentioned are the behavioral traits of the spouse of a sex addict:

  There are cases where the spouse knows that a person is a sex addict; still, she denies it completely. She knows that some of his partner's behavior is incorrect while socializing but to accept something like this is the hardest part. This will only lead to delay in the treatment and will add further to a damaging relationship.    

2. Blaming her own self

  Generally, when a made becomes a victim of sexual addiction, spouse blames her own self for not realizing it beforehand and stopping it. They feel they are to blame for the addict's behaviors (i.e. feeling like they're not attractive enough, sensitive enough, etc.) Nor disrupting the harmony of a family could be the reason of not confronting the victim.

Sometimes a person is so much in love with that person that they do not want to lose the relationship. Thus, they agree to compromise their moral values, which make their man an addict. After years of lies, deceit, and manipulation the spouse has no idea what "normal" behavior is or what to expect from the addict. In this situation, the spouse is hurt, traumatized, confused and may be fearful of losing the relationship.
