ABSTRACT

In Part II we focused on how sex addiction impacts partners, but it also has a profound impact on the couple relationship too. Many couples find themselves struggling even to co-exist in the same house and look after the home and children. Others find themselves endlessly, and exhaustingly, talking about the problem, and a few attempt to continue as if nothing has happened. This chapter will explore the factors that influence how a relationship is impacted, as well as provide suggestions for how to manage in the early weeks and months.
