What happens to the spouse or partner of a sexual addict?

Profile of a Codependent

The codependent focuses on solving other people's problems and relieving other people's pain, forgetting in the process to care for their own needs.

The codependent ignores his/her personal moral values in order to connect with the dependent (someone who believes lying is wrong, will lie because the dependent "needs" them to).

The codependent puts his/her own hobbies and interests on hold in order to focus on the dependents hobbies and interests.
