My husband cheated on me last night

NC’d but a regular poster

Been married 10 years, 2 kids, mortgage and happy marriage where nothing more than a few arguments have happened.

Husband went out to watch football yesterday - a rare occurrence he doesn’t often drink so I knew he’d be three sheets to the wind.

He FaceTimed me at 10.30 pissed as a fart telling me how beautiful I am and that he loves me. Not unusual, he gets soppy when drunk. But then he started telling me about a girl who’d pursued him all night and offered to take him back to hers for a shag. She was 17, two weeks off her 18th birthday apparently. I said why are you telling me this, I hope you told her no, and he stayed quiet and said he was getting a taxi home, and laid it on thick with the “I love you” and compliments.

While I was waiting for him to come home I had a sick feeling and knew something wasn’t right. When he got back I asked him if he did anything with that girl. I fully expected him to say “no of course not” because I didn’t think for a moment he’d cheat on me. But he confessed she gave him a blow job down the side of a furniture shop.

I feel sick. The fact she’s 17 - less than half his age - makes my skin crawl. What kind of man is he?! He has ruined everything. And to make it worse DD (6) had D&V so whilst he was getting a blow Job from a teenager I was mopping up sick and shit from the bathroom.

He said it was a one off, just a blow job and not emotional and he doesn’t see it as proper cheating. I think it makes it worse he used some poor girl for just her mouth. I can almost see an emotional affair would’ve been worth the risk of our marriage but not this. He says he deeply regrets it(!)

He’s still in (spare) bed, no doubt won’t remember anything and all I’ve done is cry. I haven’t slept, I’m in the bedroom while the kids watch a film downstairs, sobbing and hoping they don’t see me.

I can’t leave, he’s self employed and hasn’t been doing too well lately financially so we’ve dipped into our savings and they’re gone. I have no family around (he does). I do have a flat I rent out and the tenants are moving out in 3 weeks so I’m going to say he can live there.

I’m utterly heartbroken. He’s ruined everything. I wish this wasn’t happening and I genuinely never ever thought he’d do this to us. And with such a young woman, makes me think he’s just a predatory creep

Good point about their DC's being DD's @AryaStarkWolf Something OP could mention to him - next week when he is safely living at his Mum's.

AhhhHereItGoes · 13/05/2019 13:40

I'm so sorry OP.
It's such a gutting thing to have someone almost flip their personality overnight.
But remember, once he's done it once he can and likely will, do it again.
It's a shame but the children need a strong mother with clear boundaries. Hopefully he will come out as a lot better father than he is a husband and do what's best for the children.

How would he feel if you gave a BJ to a stranger down a dark alley is more to the point. Unforgivable.

Or on the street, in a ditch or in a skip with all the other rubbish xD wherever really, not your problem anymore xD

Just don't let him near your flat and don't let him kick you out of your home either!

foreverhanging · 13/05/2019 13:43

Op you are an actual ice queen and I think I love you

Dartsplayer · 13/05/2019 13:50

Has your MIL called you back yet?

BlackPrism · 13/05/2019 14:00

@timeisnotaline it's only a crime if he holds a position of power over her, otherwise as she's over 18 no it's not.

BlackPrism · 13/05/2019 14:00

Over 16 sorry

LaganOnABubble · 13/05/2019 14:01

Oh OP, I am curious on your behalf.

sheettent · 13/05/2019 14:04

I don't know. If DS had a wife and kids and did this of course I'd still love him but my support would be with his wife and kids.

AryaStarkWolf · 13/05/2019 14:06

I don't know. If DS had a wife and kids and did this of course I'd still love him but my support would be with his wife and kids.

Yes but I think most parents would still want their child to be sorry and to be forgiven I think, to make it "right" kind of a thing?

HollowTalk · 13/05/2019 14:10

You have to wonder how low that girl's self-esteem was (or maybe how drunk she was) that she would give a blow job to a guy who hadn't even kissed her. What the hell was in it for her?

LillithsFamiliar · 13/05/2019 14:18

I'm so sorry he did this. There's no words for what a scumbag he is Flowers

LaganOnABubble · 13/05/2019 14:20

FFS sorry furious not curious.

AllGoodDogs · 13/05/2019 14:20

I'm so sorry, OP. What an utter twatbag he is. Whatever you decide to do, know your worth Flowers

sprouts21 · 13/05/2019 14:36

It's not naive to question why a 17 year old was in the pub. Years ago we all went in pubs underage and no one batted an eye. Things are different now and the pubs near me are really strict with ID and looking over 25.

I don't think he's telling the truth at all. He lost his friends? Her boyfriend left her?

It's rare a cheater confesses and when they do it's because they feel guilty. Considering he doesn't feel guilty and claims it's not really cheating I would take this as an act of hostility.

MadamMMA · 13/05/2019 14:53

How awful for you

WifeOfCheater · 13/05/2019 14:55

Well MIL called and is quite upset. She says he can stay at hers for as long as necessary. And yes has spun the "think of the children" line.

He's up and saying she was 19 now. And he "wants to fight for us" Hmm wasn't fighting so hard last night when he was taking advantage of a drunk teenager.

OP posts:
AryaStarkWolf · 13/05/2019 14:57

And he "wants to fight for us"

Not enough to drag his ass out of bed a bit earlier though hhmmmm

PunishmentSnart · 13/05/2019 15:00

He also wasn't fighting when he has stayed in bed most of the morning rather then get up and "fight for you".

He's a pig.

Boysey45 · 13/05/2019 15:02

I think its very strange that he came out with it himself off his own bat. Was he wanting an excuse for you to split up with him? or has he done something worse and is just telling you a bit to minimize the damage?
Whatever I'd get rid of him, let others suck his cock and shag him. I wouldn't be anywhere near him again.

WifeOfCheater · 13/05/2019 15:05

He really is Pubishment

I've put a sad film on with the kids so I have an excuse to cry. He's still wallowing in his pit. The bathroom is covered in blood and vomit. Which he can clean before he leaves tonight.

Re the idea redhot has - texting his friends from his phone - as tempting as that may be, I've sat through splits with girlfriends who would do things like that at the time, but at a later date when the dust settled would reflect badly on them. And I may have a fight for my children. I don't think I want any more answers about last night anyway. I'm staying squeaky clean

OP posts:
AryaStarkWolf · 13/05/2019 15:05

Boysey45 It was probably because he was so drunk and being obvious. I bet if the OP had gone to bed early and never spoke to him last night, he wouldn't have told her this morning when he was sober

IvanaPee · 13/05/2019 15:07

Jesus Christ, he’s an arrogant bastard.

There’s nothing to fight for. This isn’t a relationship that’s starting to crack because of stress, financial strain, being in a rut.

He got a blowjob in an alleyway from a drunk teenage girl. Scumbag.

Don’t listen to your MIL. She has a vested interest in you taking him back.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 13/05/2019 15:08

The bathroom is covered in blood and vomit
Fuck me this in isolation would have me showing the yellow card.

By the by I know but does he have form for getting so spectacularly shitfaced and ruined the next day?
