Sex Addicted and Cheating

@resourcefulGrapefruit8213
Hi! It’s important to acknowledge that what you’re going through is deeply connected to the trauma you experienced, and it’s not something you have to deal with alone. Seeking out therapy, especially with a focus on trauma and addiction, could really help you understand and manage these urges. Openly communicating with your current partner about your struggles might help them support you through this. Building healthier coping mechanisms and finding non-sexual ways to connect with others can also make a difference. Remember, healing is a process, and it’s okay to ask for help along the way.

It sounds like you haven't fully accepted what happened to you by that family member. Sometimes we need to tell others the impact they made on us. Or do an empty chair technique?

Your story sounds similar to mine except the trauma was neglect. I read a book called No More Mr Nice Guy that opened my eyes to this and Im trying a 12 step group
