I’m 29 and my ex is 28 and was unlike anyone else I’d ever been with – funny, clever and really ambitious.
We were great together for about five months and then I started slipping back into my old ways, going out with the lads and sliding off with women I didn’t know.
One woman I messed around with happened to be one of my girlfriend’s workmates, and she told my girlfriend, who dumped me.
I’m back to the soulless hook-ups – not that I ever really left them.

Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.
DEIDRE SAYS: From what you say, and I think you already know it, you are very likely a sex addict.
You want to stop acting out, but your impulses win every time and now you have lost the person you cared the most about.
It is hard to achieve recovery from any addiction on your own but you can find understanding and support from Sex Addicts Anonymous (saauk.info).
