Co-Sexual Addiction
Are you struggling to understand and cope with the sadness, shame, and trauma of the sexual acting out of a loved one?

Do you or someone you love experience the following?

  • Tolerance of behaviors in a relationship that others would not tolerate
  • Self sacrifice with the unexpressed expectation that it would create loyalty and appreciation
  • Doing things for others that you should be doing for yourself while mired in self-neglect
  • Becoming someone you don't like- such as a nag, a "parent" to the addicted spouse, blamer or rager
  • Setting rules, agreements, contracts, or boundaries but not abiding by them
  • Rescuing others compulsively
  • Believing tall tales- giving the addict the benefit of the doubt when it's not warranted
  • Being disabled/destabilized by the addict's crazy-making behavior
  • A firm belief that if the addict could be convinced to do "X" everything would be better
  • Attempts to keep the peace in the relationship at all costs 
  • A high degree of intensity, drama, and chaos
  • Excessive concern with the opinions of others- attempts to keep up the appearance that all is well
If you or a loved one experiences problems with any of the above, know that there is hope.  What is Co-Sex Addiction?  Click here
