Cybersex addiction
Hello Experts,
I had developed a habit of masturbating from a very early stage of my life when I was around 12-14 years of age.
This later becomes an addiction where I considered it as a daily part of my life, where I did this multiple times a day.
This later turned to addiction to pornography which later escalated to reaching people over the internet for sexual favours.
While this was happening I met someone with whom I fell in love, but i could not stop the other part of my life. Even when I knew that I was doing wrong with her I could not stop myself nor even able to confess to her.
Last year I married her and after that I got that boost to stop all these and after a lot of fight I am able to overcome this addiction without telling her.
Now she found out about this side of mine and our marriage life is in distress, I need help in saving my relationship.

Hi. I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this is tough. Addictions of any sort are ways for us to overcome our lows. We addict to a substance so we can feel artificial highs because we want to counter the lows we are feeling in our own mind. It looks like subconsciously there is a consistent low feeling about something that you are trying to escape through addiction. It looks like you are having feelings of fear or losing someone you love which is bringing grief. There also seems to be some guilt and shame around what has happened in the past. There also seems a fear of being abandoned and being rejected. There could also be feelings of self loathing. We will have to create a safe space to process these feelings of yours and once those are released we will have to create a plan of sorts on how you’d like your life to be and what are your priorities and once that’s sorted and neat we can see how we can communicate with your wife and see how she responds to all of this. Strong suggestion - work on yourself first before reaching out to her and communicating. You’re brave and beautiful the way you are. Stay ⭐️

Hi... Masturbation, porn, online and offline sexual activities are normal as long as they are not impacting a person's personal/social life. In your case it went to becoming unhealthy and addictive but now if you feel you are in control and the issue is more concerning your marital relationship. I would suggest both of you go into marital counselling or couple therapy.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Marital Counselling or Couple Therapy is required.
