This is a very hard thing for me to come to complete strangers about but i really have no where else to turn for advice and sometimes strangers are the best people to go to for honest answers but anyways I don't know how to put it all in a paragraph because it would turn into a book so ill write a few points
I really believe my ex boyfriend(we're still in love and still best friends) has a sex addiction.
He cheated on me numerous times(actual physical cheating and just talking to other girls with the hope of cheating) and I don't think he has been able to be faithful in any of his relationships
he looks at a lot of porn(would wait until I fell asleep and go online with me lying next to him looking at it)but its seemed to have calmed down some..now hes going out for the real deal..
He has slept with over 200 women and the numbers are just racking up, he sees it as a release and says its because he just "has a high sex drive".
He goes on numerous sites(adult friend finder) and looks for women just to sleep with him, and also couples that are into kinky stuff.
He has done gay porn in the past and would also find women on craigslist(im sure you know the sort of women post there)
He has a TERRIBLE temper and will go off about anything to the point that its scaring me(for example the 6 month old pit bull we have went to the bathroom in the house and he hit him so hard and long it made him pee) and also when hes driving(im scared hes going to kill himself because he gets in such a hurry)
He was sexually abused as a child and uses that as an excuse to why hes the way he is so it makes it a touchy subject for me to bring up to him.
I really need some sort of advice on how to help him and talk to him about it without attacking him and also being able to help him realize he has an actual problem and it not being just that he has a high sex drive..which is understandable to have a high sex drive but i don't believe thats the whole issue..we were having sex 2-3 times a day and he still went out looking for it. I know he truly loves me so thats why I want to help him so it doesn't destroy me more than it has. If anyone has any resources I could go to or just advice in general it would be much appreciated, or if you think im wrong in thinking he has a sex addiction and it may be something else let me know. I dont want to give up on him because I know somewhere deep inside of him is the amazing person I fell in love with and whether we get back together or not I dont want to see him hurting anymore..as much as he hides it i see through it and know this is affecting his life whether he realizes it or not
