It has been 1 year and 6 months since I started the treatment.
I didn't know that I had relationship addiction and didn't even realize that it was a problem.
It was before I got married and i didn't even know about it during the treatment.
It just occurred to me one day that I had relationship addiction.
I thought I would live happily with my wife after I got married and forget about my dark past.
My wife and I didn't get along well and I eventually filed for a lawsuit for divorce.
I thought it was the best thing to do at that moment, but I was ostracized at work and even at church.
I collapses completely. Life was so hard, so I wanted to die. I had panic disorder and megalomania. Still, I wanted to recover.
I accidentally watched Mr. Kim's Youtube videos and started the treatment right away.
It would take time, money, and effort, but I thought I would do anything only if I could recover and become happy again.
I thought it was my last chance.
To my surprise, I am getting better. I feel I am being cured. I get along well with my colleagues and have good relationships with other people.
I don't avoid people anymore. I don't feel enraged or betrayed. I feel comfortable and stable.
I feel much better than I expected. I only vaguely remember the difficult days.
Both I and my wife filed a lawsuit against each other. I dropped my lawsuit but she continued with it.
Now, I am divorced. I learned that treatment must come before divorce and I shouldn't take any other practical measure before treatment.
I was anxious to be cured at first, but now I understand that it takes time.
I am going step by step.
I make a resolution again that I will keep making efforts.
I understand that many people hesitate to take the treatment.
However, I think we should go forward to become happy in a true sense.
Everyone is in a difficult situation due to the pandemic situation.
I hope that a crisis will lead to a new opportunity and happiness instead of despair and unhappiness.

Men's relationship addiction usually involve both perception disorder and expression disorder.
Men can have a chance to treat their condition when the wife changes through the treatment or when they themselves decide to treat
since the pain is so excruciating.
You will be able to build happiness ability and become happy again even though you are divorced as far as you keep making efforts.
Please, keep your initial intention and just keep going with composure.
