Quotes from Greg Baer

They become so obsessed with their supply that they ignore their friends, their jobs, the needs of their children, and their own health. Addicts are blind to everything but their own needs.

Most relationships fail because we become angry and blame our anger on something our partner did or did not do. We need to remember that our anger is actually a reaction to the feelings of helplessness and fear that result from a lifetime of struggling to survive without unconditional love. Getting angry and assigning blame may give us a fleeting sense of power that momentarily relieves our fear, but those feelings originate within us, not with our partner's behavior.

Has it occurred to you that he really does want to be close to you, and that sex is the only way he knows to be intimate with you? Most men are raised without intimacy of any kind. They don't talk with each other about

anything sensitive. They don't phone each other and ask how their day is going, as women often do. They don't go shopping together. For many men, sex is the only time they ever feel really close to anyone. It's not just about physical gratification. Consider the possibility that he's trying to feel closer to you, rather than just using you.
