STOP BLAMING YOURSELF

"If only I had been enough..." Let me be clear: S*x addiction is NOT about you. It's not about s*x or having a high s*x drive. It's about using s*xual behaviour to medicate difficult emotions. Your partner's addiction existed before you and would have happened regardless of who they were with. Blaming yourself prevents you from focusing on your own healing.

PROTECT YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH

This isn't about mistrust – it's about taking care of yourself. Get tested for STIs, even if your partner claims they 'always used protection'. Schedule a full screening with your doctor and explain your situation. Medical professionals are trained to be non-judgmental and can ensure you're tested for everything necessary.

GET THE FULL TRUTH (AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE)

'Staggered disclosure' – when your partner confesses little by little – is incredibly damaging. Each new revelation re-traumatises you. But here's the reality: your partner can't give a full, honest disclosure while still actively addicted. Their brain needs to rewire first, typically through 90 days of abstinence. This is why professional guidance is essential for both of you.

FIRST, TAKE A BREATH

Before you make any major decisions, give yourself permission to just 'be'. You don't have to have all the answers today. What you've experienced is trauma, and your reactions – the intrusive thoughts, sleepless nights, physical symptoms – are completely normal. You're not overreacting, you're not crazy, and you're not paranoid.
