Spouse support with porn addict
Is there any support for an addicts spouse? My spouse had a porn addiction and it has almost pushed me a way a few times before he actually admitted to it ... then I felt he needed me so I stood by his side. But he is falling back into his habits it seems. He is not ever honest about his addiction problems when they are going on. He goes through phases. I can certainly tell when they are occurring. He calls me crazy and tells me I am the sex addict because I will try to have sex with him and he pushes me away. Because he views porn and masturbated...
