BellaOnline Forums Relationships Domestic Violence sex addiction and abuse

Is a sex addict's behavior considered abuse to his spouse. my spouse has sex, conversations, etc. with other women and people. It really hurts, sucks, and is confusing. It really makes me feel like something is wrong with me. He is always staring at other women. We take our son to the park and he has to look at someone it so annoying. I already feel bad about myself.

Have you talked to him about his behavior and how much it bothers you? I think it is human nature to look at members of the opposite sex. I am deeply in love with my husband but occasionally I look at other men and think they are attractive. From what you described it could be bordering on some kind of abuse. Does he look at other women and say, "I wish you looked like her" or "why can't you be _______(fill in the blank) like that woman there" then yea he is being emotionally abusive in my opinion. In any relationship, cimmunication is very important. Does he do other things other then this that are making you feel jealous or suspicious?
