Is My Spouse A Sex Addict? (Hidden Signs of Sex Addiction in Your Relationship)

Have you noticed subtle changes in your spouse’s behavior? More secrecy with their phone? Less emotional or sexual intimacy?
Irritability, defensiveness, or emotional distance that wasn’t there before? If you’ve asked yourself, “Is my spouse a sex addict?”, you are alone, and you are not crazy for feeling like something isn’t right.

For over 30 years, psychologist Dr. Doug Weiss has counseled thousands of couples who have been impacted by sex addiction, pornography, and infidelity. In this video, he reveals common behavioral signs of sex addiction in your relationship and where to get help. Many sex addicts hide or deny their activities, so it can be hard to tell from the outside whether they’re addicted or struggling. You’ll learn key indicators such as increased secrecy around devices and accounts, excessive time spent on certain activities, emotional and moral immaturity, and a lack of relational intimacy and connection in the marriage.

If you feel lonely, disconnected, or unloved in your relationship, your pain is real and your betrayal trauma is valid. At Heart to Heart Counseling Center, our therapists specialize in sex addiction recovery and partner betrayal trauma. Call 719-278-3708 to schedule an appointment and start receiving the healing and support you need today!
