Mom suffering from sex addiction?

[youfutube]

Hi everyone. Long story short, my mom was divorced about 8 years ago, and she has been dating women ever since, I support her because I love her for who she is. She’s 38 years old, and I’m 18, will be going to college in Fall. We live in New York City.

 

Last month, my mom and I moved in with another woman who she has been dating for over 9 months, she’s the same age as my mom. We live in this large studio, basically one large room with no walls. Plus a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony.

 

Because of the fact that we’re sleeping in the same room, there has been a privacy issue for my mother and her partner. I know they are very careful to not let me see any sexual aspect of their relationship. But almost every night, I can hear them kissing in bed. Even though the room is dark, I can hear them kiss very clearly. They’ve never done anything beyond that, since they try to keep quiet as much as possible, I took a quick peek once and I saw them both under the sheet, so nothing was exposed. I’m old enough to know and understand what they’re doing, and I never disturb them, I just try to pretend that I’m sleeping, even though sometimes I’m awake.

 

However, I am worried that my mom and her partner might be suffering from sex addiction, ever since they moved in together last month, they would kiss all night long every single night, until about 5am, and then get a few hours of a sleep before work.

 

I am happy for her that she found a partner, and I will be moving out soon due to college, but I am very concerned that they may be suffering from sex addiction. Do you guys think I should raise my concern with her?

No, I don't. This is her issue as there is no evidence of any serious risk. Just keep pulling the covers over your head until it's time to leave for college. I've also found that a big fluffy pillow over my head works great to block nighttime noise (obviously, leave your nose uncovered). You could also try a white noise generator...my favorite is mynoise dot net, with many original, soothing and high quality sounds. Good luck!
