A new book, Write It When I’m Gone: Remarkable Off-the-Record Conversations with Gerald R. Ford , deals with Gerald Ford and his concerns. Among them was that Bill Clinton needed help with his sex addiction problems. Gerald Ford was a man who had lived with a wife who suffered and addiction problem, so I am sure he can identify the signs when he sees them. The surprising news is that with greater frequency the issue of sexual addiction is receiving attention. Such a revelation is enlightening. Having worked with addictions, the spouse of the addict is often even more unhealthy than the addict. In couples where addictions are present, there are many games played to avoid dealing with the real issues. Each party dances around what is actually occurring. Although Ford’s comments bring Bill Clinton’s addiction into the public eye, it also exposes his wife’s issues as the wife of an addict.
Sexual addiction is real and can be a major factor in affair situations.
