Welcome to my site. This is a site dedicated to my
ramblings, rants and musings about living with my husband who is a sex addict.
I made my first discovery of his sex addiction about a year ago, and like any other
partner of a sex addict, I was shattered. Somehow, I slowly managed to get on
with life after discovery and we are still married, living together
in the same house.
Since discovery, I have sought out all sorts of help for my
situation, from professional therapy, to 12-step groups, to books, to advice
from strangers online. I'm not a therapist, nor do I pretend to be, but one
thing I've learned in the last year is that help comes in many different
forms. The right kernel of advice or wisdom from a stranger on a forum can
sometimes be just as thought-provoking and healing as a 50-minute therapy
session.
As my first official blog post, let me briefly explain my
intentions for this site and future blog posts. I have been through Hell and am
trying to find my way back, just like you may be trying to do right now, too.
Throughout this journey, I've learned some pretty incredible lessons that have
changed my outlook on many different aspects of my life. Immediately after discovery, when I was scouring the internet for help, I came across blogs written
by other partners of sex addicts that both helped me and triggered me. By
"triggered," I mean some of the blogs I read were written in such an
angry vein that they brought up painful remembrances of confessions that my husband had made about his betrayals. I was already angry and hurt, so for me, reading
posts that kept me mired in that anger and pain was not helpful. While I plan to always remain as real and candid as I possibly can in my posts, I don't want
to trigger any additional pain for any of you.
Don't get me wrong, I won't censor anything, and if I need to get a point
across that involves an explicit description or disturbing thought, I will
probably go for it. But for the most part, I want to share things I've learned
and continue to do so as I continue learning and healing.
This site is for us, partners and spouses of sex addicts.
