My husband has a compulsive disorder (per our therapist) Anyone been through this? Ideas for help?

My husband had some very hurtful things hapen in his childhood. He has never dealt with this and acts it out by forming innapropraite relationships with women for attention, over doing sex, ect. He is not making excuses, and is working very hard to understand and correct this. (find positive ways to deal with his anxiety, find the cause etc) Has anyone ever dealt with something like this or have resources for help? He is seeing a specialist etc...
If you are a moron, feel free to add your two cents that I will then chalk up to you being a moron, and completely ignore.
I have left him so I don't need to hear how stupid I am etc, I am just going to roll my eyes and pity your boredom.
I am only looking for intelligent answers from people who may have a constructive answer about resources for help dealing with the underlying issues here. I am concerned since I did take vows. Thanks

The fact that your husband acknowledges that he has a problem is a very positive step towards healing the inner wounded child in him. People can't fix what they won't acknowledge but because your husband takes ownership for his behaviors and is working hard to understand them and correct them, his efforts and determination can have a very positive outcome. Effective treatment is the key to moving towards wellness and managing the symptoms that plague him.
The best form of treatment for compulsive disorders is comprised of many tools to help manage the symptoms. A compulsive disorder is a severe anxiety disorder and the most effective tools for treatment are therapy, medication and a support system. Your husband certainly has a support system in you which I find highly commendable as you are his soft place to land. He might also benefit from an on line support group as he can talk to and get support from people who walk in his shoes. It serves as a real source of comfort knowing that he is not the only one having these struggles and challenges in life. A good therapist can help your husband unfold the many layers of emotional turmoil that come from within him. I recommend that he seek out cognitive therapy. There are different forms of therapy and this is the best one for those suffering with compulsive disorders. http://www.nacbt.org/whatiscbt.htm... I hope I have helped in some way.
