Repeat the cycle. Began to seek out partners with every man I encountered, regardless of whether they were married and had kids. Had multiple emotional affaisr at any given time. Felt like

Shit, you're married? Are you still married?

How old were you when it started? And what do you believe is the cause of your sex addiction?

[Anonymous]

Age? How long have you lived like this? What was the triggering event that caused you to start acting out like this? What caused you to stop?

I'm a man with similar issues, but I'm trying my hardest to keep them in check.

I'm not sure the behavior yout listed is indicative of sex addiction. Sounds like you're just an attention whore with low self-esteem.

[Anonymous]

How long have you been in recovery? How many kids do you have now? Sounds like you are married. If accurate how do feel about a man (husband) staying with you through multiple cheating? Do you respect him? Is there any trust in your marriage?

Yes and yes. Marriage hanging on by a thread and my husband's family has basically disowned me

14. I think childhood sexual trauma and abuse.

Does husband even know?
Does the first step of addiction recovery involve revealing all to him? If so, how did that go?

[Anonymous]

Were you sexually abused as a child?

Once I got into recovery (at age 40) I realized it had started at 14. Triggering event was almost losing my family because of yet another affair
