Woman's Concern for Her Ex-Husband's Sex Addiction

Dr. Doug Weiss - 12/14/2007

I think my ex husband is addicted to sex or porn. His parents say I'm crazy that porn is normal but they don't know everything he's doing. He seems to be getting worse now that we're separated because his new fiancé isn't checking up on it but I always did. He doesn't just watch movies $400 in two months on cox for them. It's the internet; sex lines $700 for 12 calls in one month. He's having internet sex with women e-mailing his genitals to them giving them his mom's number. He sends a pic of him and his fiancé and tells women that's his ex which she's not. He did the same with our wedding pictures with both of us in them except he admitted he was married and just wanted to cheat. He's made profiles on sex sites. He's having affairs on his fiancé in real life. We went to see a doctor about it and he got mad because she wanted to focus on the porn to see if it was an addiction or not but he felt he had bigger problems he needed to talk about other than a possible addiction. We stopped going after that he said it was a waste of money. He also has a big problem with lying. Should I keep pressing my concern or just leave it alone.

If he is your ex-husband, leave it alone. You gave too many years to someone who doesn't value you. Now you're abandoning yourself by preoccupying about him still. Live your own life, and live a great life. Over time it will be obvious whose quality of life is better. So ABSOLUTELY move on. If you need support, join a phone group or local group for this.
