Dr. Rob and Tami talk about how betrayed spouses can take care of themselves, especially if their addict is not showing up in a way that they need to. They also answer a question from an emotional man, who has been in recovery for the last two years, and use it as a showcase on why recovery really does work when you put in the work. When you commit 100%, you will see the results. 

 

TAKEAWAYS:

[:45] My SA husband never wants to have sex. What gives?

[6:10] As a betrayed partner, you need to do self-healing work. Your partner has lied to you for over 2 decades. 

[7:20] It’s common for addicts to gaslight you and confuse you whenever you stand up for yourself.  

[10:25] My betrayed spouse doesn’t seem as invested in this recovery journey as I am. I am trying my best, what can I do? 

[13:10] I’m interested in taking the Out of the Doghouse course. When does it start?

[15:50] I’ve been in recovery for two years. I’m more emotional than ever, and my wife thinks this is strange. How can I help her understand what’s happening?
