I've just joined this site, simply because I need advice and don't know who to turn to.
My partner of 3 years has twice before joined dating sites and had what I assume to be sexual conversations/flirtations with other women. I discovered photos on computer and questioned him about them, to be told he never met them he was 'just curious'. Things were tricky for a while but I thought over the last ten months or so that he'd got over this temptation as he knows after the last time that if it happens again I WILL leave him.
I've discovered he's doing the same thing again. I want to confront him (who am I kidding I want to hang, draw and quarter him!) but my daughter is taking her GCSE's at the moment and I'm weighing up trying to keep quiet, monitor his activities and then leave him at the end of June when her exams are over. She gets very stressed over exams and I think a relationship breakdown now will be very damaging to her, she needs good grades to get onto her college course in September. Alternatively do I go have it out with him now and leave him?
In the meantime I've joined one of the sites he is on and aim to see if I engage in conversation with him to see how far he intends taking this (is this very wrong as it feels like I'm doing a terrible thing?).
We are in a rented property so I could leave quite easily and without too much hassle, I intend having a good clear out this weekend and to start packing away a few of the things I will be taking when I go.
The really, really sad thing in all of this is that on the surface he is appears to be one of the good guys, lovely and caring, attentive, funny, helpful, and appears to love my daughter to bits, I can't bear to think of the effect our relationship breakdown will have on her.

Do I leave now... or wait?
