According to my kindle, I'm only 39% through this book, but it is a tremendous resource of the wife of a sex addict. Some excerpts:
"...From very early in our marriage, I knew something wasn't right with our "intimacy" (Lack thereof) and sex life. It was horrible. I knew it wasn't normal but couldn't figure out what was going on. When I found out that he was a sex addict, all of the puzzle pieces fell into place....--Edith"
"When you marry, you are to form an interdependence. A sex addict for the most part is incaspable of this emotionally mature relationship and when your sould is not being nurtured emotionally or spiritually, depression can easily occur. In a relationship with a sex addict, it is ofen all about him, his needs, his sex, and his looks. This is emotional adolescence, not emotional adulthood. I have had many partners tell me how alone they felt in this relationship. Some who have husbands who are sexually anorexic have a feeling that there are simply roommates with their addict."
