I'm pretty sure my partner is using being poly as a way to hide their sex addiction. They aware of the ways if ENM and how to be ethical, but often times is only speaking, not acting, accordingly. They hide things, are secretive, defensive, and show the signs of a sex addict. Has even admitted to being one, but yet seeks no help. I'm afraid that they are about to cheat on me again, for a third time (that I'd know of), I can feel it, and I'm not sure if I can handle it again. Before anyone comes at me for staying, you have to understand that addiction isn't just something you bail on someone for. However, there's been much happened with my family since September that I don't know if I have the strength to work past and restart the healing process again. I have a feeling the comments on this will be resoundingly "leave them", but that's not what I need to hear right now. I need advice on how to approach the subject again.
Has anyone else dealt with this? I can't find help in other groups for partners of sex addiction---they aren't very active. This is my last shot at trying to find help before I have to try again on my own.
