Why cant I stop

[ICANTSTOP]

Well - I'll give a bit of background information. I was raised in an extremely well to-do-do family. I've attended the best school, have consitently recieved support from friends and family, have never had any monetary issues, or bad memories from the past. I'm usually a pretty consistent guy, currently working full-time, and going to school, good head on my shoulders.

I've been in a realtionship with another man for approximately four years now. He's a fantastic person and has all the qualities you could wish for in a partner.

My problem is that I cheat. Not once, not twice, but pretty frequently. I never do anything that would put us in any physical danger, but nonetheless, i've had several encounters that I just can't seem to turn away. I know this is wrong - and i feel terrible about it, but i just can't stop .

 

Does anyone have any similar situations or advice to help me out here. I want to be a faithful person and I want to be able to take control during situations like this.

 

Thanks for reading. You input is appreciated.

I was married for 8-years. Of those 8-years my XH cheated on me daily. And, it wasn't that I didn't give him what he wanted because he wanted it 3x a day from me. It wasn't that he didn't love me. He couldn't stop himself. He said, it was like candy everytime he walked out of the house, and nothing, and I mean nothing could stop him. He never used protection with anyone he slept with and today he's HIV+. I thankfully am not (this all happened 8-years ago), but he did bring home STD's twice...thankfully they were curable.

 

What he eventually discovered was he was a sex addict. Yes, it is an addiction. A very powerful addiction just like a drug. Find yourself a website regarding it to see if you fit the profile. Not saying you are one, but you never know how powerful something can take over your life until it has happened. It's gut wrenching when you are the person with the addiction and the person married to them.

 

Good Luck.
