Has anyone so desperately needed to talk to someone in your same situation? I know most of us have Ts...so even though I have one I really really want to find someone who is in my same situation to talk about what is going on with my H being addicted to porn and how I feel about it and its affects on me...our marriage...
I try to talk to my T about it but I don't feel understood. Is it odd to want to talk to another person in the same situation over talking to a T? What does that say about what I need or about my relationship with T? anyone know of any online places to find support for partners of sex addicts? can be faith based... |

I don't think it is odd. I would not talk to the straight therapist about some lesbian things. I would choose my friends for that. There are probably online groups like you are looking for.

No, I don't think it's odd at all. And it doesn't necessarily say anything about your relationship with your T, but rather that you'd like someone who can relate directly to your situation.
I wonder if Al-Anon has resources for partners of sex addicts? |

I'm not sure about sexual addictions, but in terms of wanting someone other than T to talk to, that me be because of how you view T? I'm not sure how that is, of course, but if you view him/her in a parent or other role-model role you might want someone more "on your level." Also, a lot of Ts try to avoid giving advice, etc. They don't react like an outside person would (which is often good but not in all situations). Maybe you just want someone's advice and maybe you actually WANT judgement in this case?
Finally, it's TOTALLY normal to want someone to relate to about a subject. There are some things people just can't understand without experiencing. |

I'd heard of this site before, it might be of help to you. I do believe it's normal to seek out someone else who has been there, done that. In a sense it can be more validating for your feelings. |

There's an equality and comradeship in group therapy that you won't find in individual therapy. Have you considered that option?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
