Hi all, just looking for some experiences really. Basically I found out that my (D)H has been sending some inappropriate messages to a woman via FB messaging. It is someone who does the same job as him (photographer) and he makes 'jokes' about her sending him some dirty photos, or hoping for a 'snog' when he next sees her. We have been having problems for a couple of years now - I have a chronic progressive illness that has got worse over the past 4 years and this has put in a strain on our relationship and family dynamics (we have 2 kids). I confronted him and he says nothing has happened and it is just banter. I am at home most of the time, as is he, as he works from home, and this woman works in another city, so I am inclined to believe him. But it just feels like such a betrayal from someone who I trusted 100%, makes me feel crap about myself when my self esteem has already recently plummeted. He is obviously unhappy in our relationship, I know most of this is down to my illness but I can't change that no matter how hard I want to (I do do things to try and help like changing my diet etc so I am not just wallowing in self pity). I don't really know what I am asking, just needed to get it out I guess. I have been thinking about separation for a while but it is hard so in so many ways - I worry I would struggle on my own and, deep down, I still love him. I just can't give him the life he wants (what we had in the past) and I spend all my time feeling guilt about it.

So she hasn't openly encourage it either...he's also sleeze bag too then 
Oh dear. This is ringing too many bells for me.
My STBXH was having this kind of "banter" online with a girl from another area, which then became him giving her his phone number, which then became phone sex conversations and goodness knows what else. All this when I was having our DD2.
I stuck it out for another few years "for the sake of the children" but could never get over this betrayal. Finally left him 3 years ago and know I am better off without him. True to form, my children tell me he normally has more than one girlfriend on the go and according to friends still regularly appears on casual dating sites.
Only you can decide whether your DH's betrayal is the final straw
