4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Partners, September 10, 2008

By	Hedy - See all my reviews

I cried all throughout reading this book. My husband left me after only 5 months married (but years of abuse) saying he was a porn addict. We weren't going to work on it, he decided. He just wanted his life how it had been for 20+ years. Porn addiction really IS an addiction. It ruined two lives. This book explained everything in stories I could relate to and had the best section for partners I have found in a book. I underlined constantly things that emotionally triggered memories of his unpredictable behavior towards me or of my total confusion. And of course a lot triggered the grief that an addiction none of my friends understand ruined my marriage, my future, my trust, my self esteem - the best part was reading how so many other women felt ugly and had their sense of self worth destroyed - I am not alone! He was lying. It was freeing in many ways. It even talked about the romance addict part - especially via email or phone calls. He never was with me in a real intimate way, and he never could be, which hurts the most I guess. This book is equal to 6 months of therapy. However, for more medical information and perhaps a more clinical book, this is not the right one for you.
