Question Posted Friday September 28 2012, 10:07 am
OK, so my husband went to counseling for sex addiction a year ago. I thought he had changed but now I know he is seriously disturbed. he has a fake profile page on here as a 35 year old bisexual female. He has answered 700 sexual questions to women and teen girls over the past 2 years. he also has a female profile on yahoo answers, same thing answers explicitly female teen and women ?s. He also has a male advice column on yahoo as himself and answers sex ?s as a man. He tells teen girls that lesbian feelings are ok and how to do sex acts and how to masturbate. This is seriously disturbing to me and I think he has multiple personalities. What do I do and what the hell is wrong with him???
Sex addiction and personality disorders are generally, from what I know of them, related. Personality disorders are a mental problem for which there is no magic medication that will cure the problem. If your husband suffers from multiple syndrome he needs to be seen and evaluated for this by a psychiatrist. Only a Board Certified Doctor of Psychiatry is trained in diagnosing and treating this disorder.
Getting your husband to seek help is another problem. If he is a true multiple the strongest personality may want to get help. Finding the one personality to accept help is going to be a problem.
Are you in danger? The quick and safest answer to this question is to assume you are and to take the appropriate precautions to protect you and any children you may have. From what you have written it would not seem your husband is a danger to himself or anyone else. Not knowing him I will advise on the side of caution.
I believe you should take the following steps to protect yourself and your children if you have them. Call your doctor and advice the doctor of what you have become aware of. If you know the therapist who treated him for the sex addiction I would contact him or her as well.
Being in fear for your safety places in motion certain mechanisms to protect you and him. The doctors will advise you as to what to do. Follow there advice.
If your husband truly suffers from multiple personality disorder he is seriously ill and needs your help. Help starts with you contacting your doctors and following their advice as your husband does not understand he is ill. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

The first thing is to tell me the account name used on here (I am the site operator) so that I can suspend the account. If it is who I am thinking it might be, then I have already suspended half a dozen other accounts they created over the years.
... you could also leave the info in feedback here, or post a question to me directly.
What you are describing sounds very serious to me. I am by no means a doctor, but I understand why this would make you nervous. Frankly, it would scare the hell out of me from a relationship standpoint.
If I were in your position, I would talk to a psychologist and see what they say about this. I don't know if he has multiple personalities, but if you suspect this, you should seek help immediately. Nobody is capable of dealing with a multiple without help. You would go insane trying.
It is possible that this is his sexual fantasy life: To be someone else.
If so, then it is something you two need to work out between you, and I suggest doing it with a counselor.
Please send me the username immediately, so I can get him off the site.
