The fine line
March 16, 2012
I feel for you--if that is you reading this blog. You have likely just been hurt by discovering the reality of these behaviours coming from the one you love. You may have just been blamed for it, accused of not providing enough sexually. How can you help when you are hurt in these ways? It is a fine line between addiction and responsibility. The addiction has created a pull towards sexual behaviours that the addict struggles to control. Taking responsibility requires the addict to admit they cannot always be in control of themselves. This is one of the most difficult, but necessary steps towards recovery.
If this is you, please urge your spouse to get help. Step beyond the hurt to help them realize you support them, if they are willing to get help. Healing to the hurts will come, but only after this first step of responsibility is taken.
