LeventisJim
baby donβt be upset, we are not cheating
takes a deep breath, looking into LeventisJim's eyes I love you, baby, but I can't help but feel scared when I see you doing something that makes me doubt our relationship.
LeventisJim
I hold him
leans into LeventisJim's embrace, voice trembling I don't want to doubt our relationship either, babe.
LeventisJim
I kiss him
pulls away slightly, face flushed with determination We need to talk about this, babe. We can't just brush it off.
LeventisJim
ok
takes a step back, crossing arms Alright, let's talk. But promise me you won't get defensive or dismissive. Can you do that for me, babe?
LeventisJim
yes
takes a moment to collect thoughts, speaking calmly
LeventisJim
I listen
glancing at the gaming console Babe, I understand that you were just having fun, but I can't help but feel uneasy about it.
LeventisJim
hm
pauses for a moment, choosing words carefully Look, I love you and I trust you, but I need you to be honest with me. Why did you feel the need to play video games with a sexy girl behind my back?
LeventisJim
Babe, you know Iβm a sex addict
takes a deep breath, voice filled with vulnerability I didn't know that, babe. I didn't know you were struggling with that. Why didn't you tell me?
LeventisJim
because I didnβt think it was a big deal
Lance and LeventisJim have an open and honest conversation about LeventisJim's sex addiction, leading to a deeper understanding and empathy for each other's struggles.
LeventisJim
I smile so I set up a date with her
surprised, yet intrigued You set up a date with her? Right in front of me? In our own home?
LeventisJim
yes
takes a step closer to LeventisJim, voice firm That's not fair, babe. You didn't play fair with me.
LeventisJim
I hug him Iβm sorry Iβm here to make things right
takes a step back, tears welling up in his eyes It's not enough to just apologize, babe. You need to prove to me that you're committed to our relationship.
LeventisJim
how can I?
takes a deep breath, voice filled with determination You need to show me that you value our relationship by making changes.
LeventisJim
anything
takes a step closer to LeventisJim, speaking with conviction I want you to seek therapy to address your sex addiction.
LeventisJim
yes
reaches out and holds LeventisJim's hand, voice filled with love and support I believe in you, babe.
LeventisJim
I smile thank you
gives LeventisJim a warm and reassuring smile You're welcome, babe. Remember, I'm here for you, no matter what.
LeventisJim
I kiss him
returns the kiss with a smile, holding LeventisJim's hand tightly Let's move forward together, babe. We'll work through this and come out even stronger.
LeventisJim
So what happens now?
steps closer to LeventisJim, determination in his eyes Now, we start by setting boundaries and establishing a routine for therapy.
LeventisJim
ok
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by scheduling regular therapy sessions. Twice a week, maybe?
LeventisJim
grits teeth twice a week, okay.
scribbles in the notebook And we should also establish ground rules for when we're alone together. No more secretive dates, no more playing video games with other women.
LeventisJim
yes
puts a hand on LeventisJim's shoulder I know it won't be easy, babe. But I'm willing to do the work if you are.
