Zues,

I highly recommend reading the book "Inner Bonding: Becoming a Loving Adult to Your Inner Child," by Margaret Paul. It was immensely helpful for me in dealing with my own issues, as well as to my H in dealing with his, and she talks a fair bit about sexual addiction. She also recommends that people attend Sex Addicts Anonymous: https://saa-recovery.org/. I cannot say enough about this book (and I swear I don't get any kickbacks for recommending it!). I have done a LOT of reading since H said he was done, including 5LL, Codependent No More, Healing Your Aloneness, I Love You But I'm Not in Love with You, Embracing Uncertainty, and a few others, but this one was by far the most helpful. I found it a little weird at first, but I've now read it three more times, and I really get it now.

I want to echo what Ss said - dealing with this is very commendable of you! It is incredibly brave of you to really look deep into yourself like this. Not many people are able to do that.

I'm giving you a virtual fist-bump.
