I think it's obvious what you do.
But.... do you have kids together?

Users are charged per minute for example £1 per minute to view a girl on cam where others could be watching her too, or go into a private session which might be £1.50 per min and he can communicate with her and ask her to do stuff or just watch the private session. Sounds like he's up to it a lot then. Even if he's not paying you can watch previews of girls etc.

If you have never trusted then there was no reason to stay - and now this has happened too. Do you rent/own and/or have DC?

They're not tramps, they're women making a living.

Save the abusive language for your boyfriend.

And don't be torn. He uses webcam girls (at least) and has given you previous reason not to trust him anyway. And when he's been found out, he's not exactly rushing with apologies is he? Hmm

You could make him show you his account, as a condition of staying together. I really wouldn't bother though.

£10 payments sounds like webcam type stuff. Prostitutes for full sex are more. But you can arrange them via adultwork but pay cash (sadly I have too much experience with this, XH) so it won't show on the bank statement.

Boo fucking hoo. I fucking hate men who do this.
YOU are the wronged party here - yet he's crying and looking for sympathy?

He's a liar, a cheat, and he thinks women are cheap things you can buy.

I'd get rid.

And smashing his iPad up proves that he's slightly unhinged, not sorry. Don't be fooled.

he has been crying
Fuck me these men are unbelievable.
You are struggling because he uses prostitutes and thinks that women are sex objects and HE is crying.
Control and manipulation - that is what the crying is about.
He's not crying because he is sorry.
He wouldn't have done it otherwise.
He's crying because he got caught!
You KNOW exactly what you need to do.
Don't be rail roaded by HIS upset.
Jee-wiz. I'm angry on your behalf.
I hope you are angry!

Has he actually admitted that he has been using the site?
In defence some of the web cam girls do just talk. Not filth, just day to day chat about work/mates/weekend plans etc.
I know that makes it no better as it's still the lies and the fact that he should have been coming to you for any of that and the filth Flowers

These women aren't tramps. They are normal women trying to make a living.

On that site you don't pay for sex, the money will be to buy 'credits' which can be exchanged for webcam sessions or access to private galleries etc. If he is seeing prostitutes he will pay them directly. The meetings can be set up via the website (but then, some girls prefer not to) but payment doesn't go through the site.

If he is webcamming, I would be fairly certain if he hasn't already seen a prostitute he is well on the way.

Oh here we go, it's the prostitutes fault for luring him, oh paleeeeze OP, if it wasn't for slease ball men like yours then there'd be no need for women to have to do this to earn money, I've also heard that with Adultwork they post the payment intermittently like that to not make it look suspicious so there's every chance he's been visiting call girls.

Do the right thing and keep hold of your self respect.

What Fidelia said. The grand gesture of smashing his iPad up to prove how sorry he is has conveniently ensured that you can't search its history.

Don't be fooled by crocodile tears as they flow as easily as the promises and lies told by the sad 'so very sorry' fuckers who shed them.

If he wants to truly prove how sorry he is he'll agree to live elsewhere while you consider whether you want to risk your sexual health with a liar man who has in all probability used prostitutues, or has every intention doing so, or find yourself a respectful and honourable man who is worthy of your love and affection.

WTF the man likes a little porn from women he does not know. What I would say is why are you going line by line through his bank statements and if he knew that he is subjected to such scrutiny he should find alternative less public payment methods away from you.

1465320614. It's not okay to do that when you are living with someone your supposed to love and they are paying the bills .He charged his pad up to use that site with the electricity that I payed for so no it's not okay to do that to someone. He had everything the only thing I didn't do for him was wipe his backside but I may as well have .and now he has been on his knees begging for forgive ness he's told me he cannot live without me and will go to pieces .he has also said he will do anything I did talk to him and ask him why did you need to do this I told him you could have came to me and talked to me if you had problems we could have worked it out I give him everything he needs in the bedroom that most wouldn't when I asked him about why and other things he said he stopped when he realised they were shite his words not mine he said he doesn't know what came over him because he has everything he needs at home now he could be bulling me .he has a heavy head he knows he has caused me pain and before you go saying other things if I had caught him on porn I maybe would have just ticked him off but no it's not okay to cheat with live webcams you say men like a bit of porn well that is not a little innocence porn it's bang out of order if I done that to him what he has done there would have hell to pay I would have been accused of being a dirty cheat his first wife cheated on him so he knows what it feels like

And if he does find less public ways to do it and pay then he can go and see if they will wash his clothes cook his meals do his cleaning and be totally devoted. To him .its like everything when the novelty wears off or your caught and lose everything that's when you realise the grass wasn't greener but to late when you have lost everything and for what some sleazy bit of pleasure going nowhere but taking your bank balance down .like I said to him he has a daughter that is working hard to save every penny she can to better her life she doesn't have a lot but would ne turn to that for money she could have had that wasted money to help her .and like I said to him would you like it if your daughter rang in tears saying she had caught her fiancé using them sites and spending his money on them his reply he would. Tell her to dump him and be very angry so his next words were I know now how wrong it was and learned a very hard lesson I could have lost you and everything I told him your not off the hook I'm going to be watching every move you make and you won't be able to hide he swears he will never risk losing me for some prostitute site yes his words prostitute

I'm so sorry.
But oh my god don't marry him!!!!!
You have your head screwed on.

I will say this... prostitute use is calculated. It's not a drunken accident (not that that's excusable!)
It's not the fun and excitement of discovering a colleagues fancies you (again, not acceptable!)
It is a cold hard decision that cheating is fine. You did nothing "wrong" - and if there had been issues, anyway he should have come to you. His actions were long term and repeated. So what stops him doing it again? When that urge takes him? Love, guilt, fear of getting caught... none of that stopped him before, so why would it now? What is he going to do to stop it? Because just saying he will won't stop him. Either it's a compulsion or he just didn't give a shit before. Neither of those reasons will mean he'll change his behaviour. There is something wrong with him, and "I nearly lost you I won't do it again" simply is meaningless. You can't trust him AT ALL. Bare minimum, I'd want to be there when he has it all out with a counsellor to find out why he let himself do it before. This is what he did during the good times love - what about when there are hard times?

To be honest, the pathetic and violent smashing of the laptop (evidence)
is red flag enough to leave him!

Have you actually been shown his adultwork account by the way? I'd want to see that, not just the payments.

I'll finally share my experience. My XH used AW - including buying sex. Turns out, he'd done it for years before he met me. I didn't know that til after. When I found it, I had all the "don't know why I did, I'm a fool, I'll do anything" crap. Like a fool, I just about believed the "I only looked" bullshit. Married him. But he carried on. I found out again. Divorced him. He doesn't know that I know his AW password.

Guess what? Within 6 weeks of meeting his next girlfriend (you know, the honeymoon period) he was paying for sex again.

I know you are going to hope that yours if different.

But what's more likely? That it was some random lapse that he can walk away from, or that there is something wrong with him?

He will do it again.

There is some need in him that you don't meet. And that's not your fault. You give him everything (FWIW I was 'better' at sex than my XH, I was open, willing, adventurous. But if they're after 'illicit', you can't give that.

Walk away.

When you're head is much clearer and the shock has worn off a bit OP l think you will realise that he will probably do it again. Only he will be more careful and will hide it better. After all he had everything he wanted at home and it wasn't enough. What is so different now, it still won't be enough, it's like a fix-he needs his bit on the side.

Take your time -do nothing, agree to nothing. get your ducks all lined up in case you decide that this you can't get passed. Or when you catch him again.
