When your wife cheats on you, you will never be the same.

It's not always the man who cheats, but it sometimes seems that way because men don't tell the world about it.

Your anger, pain, frustration, trauma, and embarrassment are valid. You need to find help for yourself.

You may feel like getting a divorce, you may want to work on the marriage, you may want to cheat in revenge, there are many feelings that come along with this traumatic event.

But when your wife cheated on you, how do you get over it?

If you want to heal the marriage, you need to get to the root of her problem so that this doesn't continue to happen to you.

She may need to deal with a sexual addiction, trauma, intimacy issues, possibly intimacy anorexia, etc. She may need to take a polygraph to verify her faithfulness or recovery. She needs to get help, but you must get your own help as well.

The book, Partner Betrayal Trauma™ was written specifically for those who have experienced the trauma of betrayal from a spouse. (Yes, it is generally gender specific to women, but men who have experienced this can use the principles as well.)

Partner Betrayal Trauma® is a unique form of trauma that occurs within relationships and which is caused by your partner or significant other. You trusted in them. They broke that trust and created the trauma as a result.

Dr. Doug Weiss joins Joni and the ladies to talk about the impact on the partner of infidelity, pornography addiction, and intimacy anorexia. This is a term coined by Dr. Weiss called Partner Betrayal Trauma®.

Partner betrayal trauma is relational trauma which is created by broken trust, unfaithfulness, and a loss of confidence in your partnership, relationship, or marriage. This trauma can be caused by things like spousal neglect, cheating, infidelity, dishonesty, deception, romantic relationship betrayal, rejection, or other circumstances which cause you to lose faith in your partner or significant other.

If you have been betrayed by your spouse or significant other by infidelity, sex addiction, or intimacy anorexia, you have certainly experienced the effects of partner betrayal trauma. Your trust was abused, betrayal, and discarded. These pages, tests, and resources are just for you.

Your betrayal is real. Your trauma from the betrayal of your partner is very real. It is not just real personally but also real statistically. You’re not the same person before and after trauma. You have been impacted significantly. You most likely have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depression, and your trust has been violated at every level.

Your partner betrayal trauma is unique to you and your journey to heal will be unique as well. We have tests, three- and five-day intensives, phone counseling, phone groups, books, DVDs, and other resources to help you reclaim your life back. You can join our Facebook recovery groups as well.

Sex Addiction

The definition of sex addiction. What is it?

Sex addiction is the active use of a sexual behavior, whether it is masturbation, an internet porn addiction, fetishes and/or behavior with self or others in a compulsive life-destroying pattern. When you are addicted to sex it is called a sex addiction.

This is a real issue impacting millions of individuals, marriages, and families around the globe.The impact is felt in the life of the addict and his or her surrounding family members and friends. You and the one you love can recover from the damaging effects this can have on your relationship. Whether you are an addict or the partner of an addict: you are not alone and there is hope!

There are six different types of a sex addict. The more you know about what type you are, the more successful you can be in recovery. Dr. Doug Weiss takes a look at each type, what the associated sex addiction is, and what behaviors go along with that type of addict. Visit https://drdougweiss.com/product/final-freedom-book/ for more information.

The six types are:

#2. Psychological

#3. Spiritual

Really? No sex on my wedding night? How could this happen?

This is an issue that arrises right after some couples say "I do." Emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy go out the window and the relationship can become very difficult immediately following marriage.

Did your sexless marriage start on your wedding night?

But why does this happen? What is the root cause of this issue?

Dr. Doug Weiss answers this question. (And it has nothing to do with you.)

This is often the first sign that you have married an Intimacy Anorexic. This also answers the question as to why Intimacy Anorexics are so hard to spot before marriage, because marriage symbolized they can no longer escape, that they are unsafe, and they must take actions to protect themselves.

If you're experiencing Intimacy Anorexia® in your marriage, you can go to https://intimacyanorexia.com/

Also, we have a test you can take to determine if Intimacy Anorexia® is the issue in your marriage. Take the test here:

https://intimacyanorexia.com/ia-test/

Also, if you're the partner of an Intimacy Anorexic®, we call that married and alone. You can check out the series of books Dr. Weiss has written on that subject here:

Does my dad's pornography use affect me?

Do adult children of sex addicts struggle with sexual addiction themselves?

Get Beyond the Bedroom: Healing for Adult Children of Sex Addicts

https://www.drdougweiss.com/product/beyond-the-bedroom-book/

Your dad's sexual addiction, pornography, or affairs very well could have impacted you as a person.

Learning about a parent's pornography use can affect your self esteem or cause depression.

It can cause problems in romantic relationships, eating disorders, and damage the way you view sex and sexuality.

Dr. Doug Weiss hears these questions all the time in his practice and today he answers them in this video.

Pornography use, infidelity, and sex addiction have many impacts on the partner, mentally and physically.

Partner Betrayal Trauma® affects your body. Every Monday for the last over 25 years, I've been doing intensives for partners of sex addicts, infidelity, and intimacy anorexics.
