So I wrote a letter to Codys dad because cody, well is too scared to stand up to his parents. I really need feedback. This letter is quite matter of fact and my goal was to be non-aggressive but assertive. Is there anything I should change? (wrote this because Cody told his dad about in-house...

Hey guys, so I haven't been on here in a bit with life getting so busy. This summer has been crazy, literally. With the pregnancy, wedding, school, my new blog, and landing a new online magazine job, my time has escaped me. My blog addresses many things and I have what I call "Married Monday"...

So I haven't been on in a while. Lots has happened. I am 27 weeks pregnant, got a magazine job, started a mom blog, etc. But I wanted to post this big moment for me. I finally was able to express the pain I've been through to my husband and he sat there adn listened and didn't fight me on it...

I've been with my now fiance for 2 years. I caught his addiction at the one year mark. He is a year clean. Anyways, so during his year clean, he focused on building his life, and now we have started focusing on the relationship repair. Last two nights we've gone through the packets I'd printed...

So I have a question to the addicts. My fiance is one year clean and he has turned his life around, and I couldn't be more proud of him. Though, sometimes these days (it used to be all the time), he still doesn't seem to take things seriously and be responsible. Money is one thing he really...

So I found this article ages ago, possibly prior to D-day, but I was going through old books marks about found this article and I was thinking that this was a very enlightening article. https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/why-men-objectify-women/ I found that addicts could possibly...

I feel at a loss. I am trying to figure out if there is something wrong with me. I have this need to feel desired/wanted and to be romanced since I found out about his addiction. I feel like the addiction basically just ruined the "us" relationship, and I'm still wanting to feel romanced...

Hi, so I am a partner of a PA. June 8th will mark one year of him being clean. He has made such amazing progress on himself throughout this year, getting back in school and getting good grades, doing better at work and being more responsible with work, and getting back into his hobbies like...

I honestly feel so terrible for my partner. He had hoped this new therapist would be better but they were worse than the first. This therapist, when my partner cancelled his session to say it wasn't working because the therapist didn't seem engaged and doesn't talk, responded with saying, "Sorry...

I am finding myself pretty depressed this past week and a half. We just moved and I know we are tired, but I have found myself just feeling a bit hopeless at times. There are days where it seems like we make progress with having conversations together (i.e. ones not about cars all the time, or...

I am a partner of a PA and he has been 11 months clean. He has made progress in several areas of his life like education and work, and I'm so proud of him. For the most part, he understands the boundaries that have been set so I can feel safe in the relationship. Emotionally speaking, though, it...

Found this article and found it to be an interesting read. As someone interested in psychology and neuroscience I enjoyed learning more about the aspects of the brain and the mind. I've had classes where we learned about the brain and neurotransmitters, but I think this author really has a good...

I think I've mentioned somewhere on here before about how my partner can be obsessed with cars. We also thought at one point his porn addiction was turning into car addiction instead. For a while he got better, and now that we talked about it again, he realized that twice a week he gets strong...

I loved The Scarlett Letter in high school. I remember reading it and feeling so angry at the towns' people for making Hester wear the letter "A" for adulterer. I posted ages ago about how my partner had posted on facebook about his addiction and came out about it. I also mentioned the...

Hey guys so I am really anxious about Valentine's day this year. I met my partner 6/6/15 and he asked me to be his girlfriend on 6-18/15. We've had one valentine's day together, and last year's Valentine's day was nice but also not the happiest because I was finding bits of his addiction around...

I am really kicking myself for my trauma reactions and triggers. I got triggered yesterday and that caused an argument between my partner and I, we then made up. Today, we went out with a friend since it was his bday and he knows about our situation and is really nice and understanding. So we...

So it's been over 7 months of recovery for my partner and I. Last tuesday we had a talk. A talk I'd been longing for for months. We talked about his shame. He knew we had to talk and so we've decided weekly talk sessions for porn addiction and recovery specifically were to happen once per week...

"What do I do?" , "I can't remember", "I'm ashamed", "I don't want to talk about it (ever)" are all things my partner is saying to me tonight. It's not the first time either. This is common and getting old. He wants me not to talk about it as much and gets up set if I mention it. What do I do...

So I have been working hard at not falling into the parenting behavior. My partner has made a lot of progress over the past six months of being clean, but he definitely struggles with ... real life responsibilities at times. Over the past six months he has started to pull his weight in terms...
