I think my ex husband might've had a sex addiction, I caught him countless times looking on backpage. ("Just curious" was his response.) Do you have a trusted doctor or counselor you can talk to?
Yes, I do. And I've been thinking about it. Being single, the pattern of sexual behavior I'm exhibiting is not problematic. What freaked me out is the prostitute. It's not something I'd normally do.
