My favorite resources:
Married to a Sex Addict, by JoAnn, wife of a sex addict. This website really helped me understand the link between sexual addiction and personality disorders, and also made me face the reality that recovery by my Addict was unlikely. There are many stories from wives... they will break your heart, but will also give you insights and ideas. Any feelings of isolation will dissipate when you see you are NOT THE ONLY ONE. As JoAnn says in the introductory page, this is a place where you can be SAFE.

How to Use Escort Services: A Men's Guide
by Marc Perkel, a "geek" who describes the value of an escort, who he claims is legally n0t a prostitute. She's a paid companion who is overcome with desire for the client! This describes in detail how the transaction with the "escort" works. It will give you an accurate picture of the sorry state into which your addict has descended.
Checking your computer
Password Fox
This is apparently the largest adult hookup site on the internet. If you need evidence of your wayward spouses addiction, you are likely to find it here. You can get a free limited membership to look for your husband. If you find him and want additional information, you can join. If you join, make sure to use a credit card you don't mind losing forever - I've read this site may scam you.
I know. You thought Craig's List was like a huge online garage sale. Well, it's also a sleazy hookup site. Check out the personals. Your husband may be there because it's free.
