To split up due to DH going to lapdancing club?

DH was on a stag do at the weekend. Asked him to not go to LDC as hate everything about them. He assured me that it wouldn't be that kind of weekend. Stag not a dirty pervert kind of guy.

Admitted last night did go & got lapdance. (think about 15 blokes & 4 got dances) WTF! He then admits on further questioning to have gone once before when our 1st born was 4wks old!!! Was promoted& boss paid!! This he has kept from me for 5 years!

Now I know some will say, it's only a titty bar, chill out but we have had a terrible year. Found out before Xmas he had taken girl colleague out for a drink by herself. They had a small kiss at end of night. I found out by a text mess next day. Feel this may have developed into affair if I hadn't caught him out.

This was so out of character for my so called loving DH and father. He never flirted with girls, never remarked on girls on tv or when we were out. Actually I really loved this about him. Really never had to worry about him cheating etc.

Anyway, I was devastated, completely broken. He was so remorseful- stopped nts out etc. We had counselling which helped. We were just beginning to get back on track though I am so sad about all that happened & how the wonderful (smug) marriage we had was over & we had to start afresh.

This is why I really cannot be believe he has hurt me like this again. Up all last night crying- both of us, I really cannot see a way forward. I just feel he has no respect for me or our kids. When I think of him at that club when our baby was a newborn & I was postnatal, it makes me feel physically sick.

What I need to know is- has anyone experienced similar. I really can't see a way forward but I truly love him & he is a wonderful dad. I feel like a doormat!

Anyfucker, Are you the mumsnet pace setter/police?
I have read the whole thread and in my opinion (just as valid as yours, remember?) it was going off at a less interesting tangent .

I am asking larry to RETURN, get it?
Get the thread BACK to some sense?

why do you ask? Does it make a difference?

proudnsad · 10/08/2010 22:41

Lequeen - I am a laydee.

A v tired and rather confused one squinting into me iPhone. It's all getting bit aggro on here.

Night.

franklampoon · 10/08/2010 22:43

I'm a laydee too, but am genuinely curious why you asked

AnyFucker · 10/08/2010 22:45

it is a bit aggro because some people would rather have a row, than let it finish on a lighthearted note

the OP is long-departed, obviously, so why try to prolong any bad feeling ?

this thread will be chip wrappers in a couple of days anyway

HerBeatitude · 10/08/2010 22:49

Anyway I don't think Larry is the voice of common sense.

I think he's a tiresome mansplainer.

2old4thislark · 10/08/2010 22:50

Grin at LeQ.

I put in my twopennyworthy much earlier on.........still very much agree with proudnsad LeQ and Alouiseg

AnyFucker · 10/08/2010 22:50

he has some spiffing sock puppets though Grin

2old4thislark · 10/08/2010 22:52

yeah mansplainer gets mentioned again.........going around in circles, me thinks.

HerBeatitude · 10/08/2010 22:53

Yup, why not.

The thread can go to 1000 posts, we've got time to make plenty of circles.

2old4thislark · 10/08/2010 22:54

....only another 585 to go then...........

2old4thislark · 10/08/2010 22:54

........584.......

HerBeatitude · 10/08/2010 22:54

Anyway if someone tells me that someone I think is wrong, is the voice of common sense I'm going to respond that I disagree.

Then they can come on and tell me I'm wrong.

Then I'll tell them they're wrong.

Then they'll tell me... etc. etc.

2old4thislark · 10/08/2010 22:55

.........583.............think I'll stay up all night and kill off the thread Grin

AnyFucker · 10/08/2010 22:55

bring on the sock puppets...that should bump it up a bit more Smile

there is a lot of support for mansplainng, it seems

HerBeatitude · 10/08/2010 22:55

Blimey aren't we at 800 yet? Grin

2old4thislark · 10/08/2010 22:57

this is fun, isn't it? What did we do before MN and t'internet Grin........oh yes bear bating

2old4thislark · 10/08/2010 22:58

Anyway must go to bed, though delaying it just in case Dh is feeling fruity Grin

franklampoon · 10/08/2010 23:00

but Anyfucker neither you, me nor anyone else gets to choose what others say .

It's a bit rude to single someone's contributions and tell them to move on.I don't want to discuss trivia , thanks.

I personally detest these chit chatty add ons to interesting discussions but respect your right to go that route if you choose.

Please respect mine

AnyFucker · 10/08/2010 23:00

2old...see is ob has any toys up her sleeve to get you in the mood Wink

not bear-baiting...

witch-dipping was the preferred pastime before MN, I reckon

AnyFucker · 10/08/2010 23:02

if not is
