My husband has had the behavior of a sex addict. Since the discovery, one year ago, he said he is not doing that anymore. However, we are not happy. I am severely damaged from the betrayal; I think he is not happy either. He said that if I move on and forget all that he did, we will be happy again, but it is not that simple for me. I wonder if my son and I were the “other life” and the prostitutes are what he really wants for himself. With the prostitutes he was sensual and romantic. He was happy with them, with me; the life was just peaceful but never exiting. I read that sex addicts look for prostitutes, because they are afraid that if people know how they really are, people will not love them. How do I know who this man really is? I don’t want to keep swimming against the current, just to discover in 5 or 10 years that he was just lying to himself and me. Maybe he is a pervert and he likes having many women but is forcing himself to live in a monogamous and married just for social or religious pressure.
