I Divorced My Sex Addicted Gay Husband: An Interview with Heather Bennett Nuṅoz
from Change My Relationship · host Karla Downing
Heather was married to a sexually addicted gay man for twenty-four years before she divorced him. Listen to her story to discover how denial, gaslighting, rationalizing, and magical thinking can lead us to believe a lie when we could see the truth. Sexual addiction destroys intimacy and trust. It is even more challenging to come to terms with the fact that your husband is attracted to men, and yet the signs are often obvious. Heather Bennett Nuṅoz is a licensed marriage and family therapist. Heather shares her personal and professional insight and experience for women married to sexually addicted and/or gay men. She talks candidly about what the primary indicator of success with rehabilitation is and what women should prioritize after discovering a sexual addiction. If you or someone you know is in a relationship with a sex addict, please watch, listen, and share. You are not alone, and knowledge gives you power. #sexaddictiondiscovery #sexaddictionrecovery #denial #gaslighting Recommended Resources: "Straight Wives, Shattered Lives: Stories of Women With Gay Husbands," Bonnie Kaye. https://amzn.to/4naUKqU Straight Wives, Shattered Lives Volume 3: True Stories of Women Married to Gay and Bisexual Men," Bonnie Kaye. https://amzn.to/42MefPl APSATS-trained therapists who work with sexual addicts and their spouses: https://apsats.org/ Be Broken Ministry who work with sexually addicted men and provide a support group for recovery: https://www.bebroken.org/ Be Broken Ministry groups and resources for the wives of sex addicts: https://www.bebroken.org/wives Karla's Resources: Women Thriving in Difficult Marriages Zoom Class https://www.changemyrelationship.com/women-thriving-in-difficult-marriages-zoom-study/ Truth in the Mirror https://www.changemyrelationship.com/truth-in-the-mirror-class/ 10 Lifesaving Principles for Women in Difficult Marriages, by Karla Downing https://amzn.to/3JjEw0I Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Bg_RFA1OPvY
