Intro

Hello,

I'm inloved with someone who is fighting a porn addiction. I have known about his addiction for about 9 months. I knew nothing about this type of problem prior to finding out about his addiction. I knew something was very wrong with our relationship but had no idea what it was other than I knew it was something to do with sex. We were not having it. Going through this with him has taught me alot about myself. I have accepted many things about this addiction but the no sex between him and I is extremely frustrating, confusing and hurtful. He has been very serious about his recovery for the last 4 months. I can see postive changes in his life. Has anyone else had or having this experience?

Thanks Dave. I have been surrounded my whole life by people with addictions. Maybe that is why I have compassion. I have learned that every relationship I have been in my partner was a sex addict. (when I looked back)This is the first porn addict. This really made me want to look at my self once again but with new perception.
