can someone who has gone through this or is coming on on the other side of this tell me honestly and truthfully if a sex addict can ever truly change...my current boyfriend told me he is a sex addict, he has been unfaithful multiple times from cyber sex, online affairs, intercourse, sometimes unprotected sex, dirty emails, phone calls, rendezvous, and pornography addiction...outta 6 billion people on the planet, my family and friends just want me to walk away...but because I love him dearly, I always find it in my heart to forgive him...and for a while things get better, then i'll catch him cheating again...does anyone know if this relationship is just a lost cause, can sex addicts truly ever overcome this or will this endless cycle never end? just want to know if their is any survivors out there who have had their relationship restored from being destroyed by sex addiction of a husband or significant other.

sincerely, sleepless in the u.s
