If your partner is a sex addict, or is showing signs of being one, don't just pack your bags and leave. Remember, you can help him out of this problem. Just like it is not impossible to be cigarette free, it is not impossible to come out of a sex addiction.

Here is what you need to do:

• Bring the matter to his notice. Tell him that you know about what is doing and if possible, keep enough evidence to prove to him that you know.
• Tell him how what you are doing is harming your relationship and how you are getting hurt with his actions.
• Don't be harsh. Explain to him in a loving way. You may be feeling resentment and hate, but if you want your relationship to work, make sure you are patient with him. Never threaten to leave. If you do, at some point of time, he will become immune to your threats.
• Remember, this is an illness. He needs treatment. So don't show your resentment on him. Make sure you accompany him for his counselling and psychotherapy sessions.

However, if he is stubborn or still in denial, you need to make a strong decision about what you want. Try your best to salvage your relationship. But, if your relationship is becoming abusive, make sure you take stringent action.
