Q: Am I not available enough for my spouse or giving them what they want?
A: I don’t look at this addiction that way. A spouse can be totally available and very responsive in an intimate relationship. It doesn’t really have that much to do with the addiction. Yes it can be trigger if there is a fight and it can be a challenge if a spouse is not responsive. They do play into it but it is not a spouses fault if they choose to act out.
If there are those problems in a relationship, it is the responsibility of the spouse to communicate with one another.
It is always a challenge between a husband and wife. Men on average like a physical connection 2 to 3 times a week. Women generally are ok with once one to two weeks. This is generally speaking but as a general consensus this what I have noticed as I have counseled with couples.
