DH cheated, I don’t believe his version of events

DH and I have been together for 5 years, we are late 20s, have a 9 month old and generally very happy.

Last week he went on a work trip to Barcelona, he got back yesterday. I could tell immediately he wasn’t himself and asked what was up. After pressing for a while he told me “I cheated, we’ll sort of and I used cocaine”. To say I’m stunned is an understatement.

He went on to tell me he met a girl in a club, lots of people were using cocaine in this club and he was very drunk so he did “one line”, he then admitted she had done more. He said she then said they should go back to hers, he said he wasn’t thinking at all and said yes. When they got back she apparently said she doesn’t sleep with guys the first time she meets them but she would give him head. He said he didn’t really believe her that she wouldn’t sleep with him, but she did in fact just perform oral sex. He said they also made out and touched but she kept her skirt and underwear on the whole time. He then told me he spent the night at hers and the next morning he woke up erect and she noticed and performed more oral sex on him.

I know I probably shouldn’t have asked for all the details but I had to know.

AIBU to think it is very unlikely a girl would take a guy back to hers, but stop shy of actually sleeping with him?

I don’t even know what to do from here, I don’t want to leave him and it doesn’t seem premeditated but I just don’t believe he didn’t actually sleep with her. He also follows her instagram (she doesn’t follow him back) and she is bloody stunning which has knocked my self esteem into the ground. Then there is the drug use! Gosh I feel like my world is collapsing around me.

You leave. Why on earth wouldn’t you. He’s a man who has affairs and takes drugs. This isn’t who you want around your child.

I'm sorry to hear that. He went back to this woman's house to have sex. The only guarantee you have with cheats is that they minimise and lie.

I would get some legal advice and tell him to move out.

Is what he's done not bad enough to leave?! He would've fucked her if she'd let him

Sorry to hear that OP!

Why on earth is he following her on Instagram if he doesn't know her / it wasn't premeditated?

Whatever he tells you is his version of events. You won't ever know if it's the truth, but honestly people will admit to as little as they think they can get away with as a rule of thumb. Enough to pacify you, but not the full truth.

Why don't you want to leave him? He's a drug user and a cheat?

No, I wouldn’t believe his version of events either. Oral sex is more personal and intimate imo.
