Abusive Relationships/sexual addiction and lack of sex

Question
How can I tell if someone (my husband) is addicted to sex? Also how can one who wants sex as often as they can and a person who would rather never have sex again comprimise?

Answer
it's like any addiction; if it appears to be an overpowering need that is adversely affecting other parts of one's life or the people in it, it's a problem; as to the compromise, that's pretty much what it is, but counseling could be necessary to get to everyone to understand why one party is so turned off, while the other is too obsessed; only then could possibly some adjustments be made to meet in the middle, or come to the conclusion that  it's not going to work..
