After a rocky patch where I found that DH was using dating sites and had online and telephone and real affairs he promised not to continue. Things improved but now I have found he is using them again. Am I wrong for feeling that he will never stop?

well I made it clear that it was me on the repies. sad I know but it made me feel better. sort of a treasure hunt of what I wanted to say.
If I dump his bags on the doorstep he won't believe I'm serious, let himself in or cause a scene at the door.
If I go he has no choice. I have asked him to leave before, he has just refused ( then promised not to do it again, oh and he only looked as he seemed to have random messages to him from these sites that he hasn't joined!). You see it's never his doing nor his fault.

ANNOYED? you have every right to be livid, never mind annoyed tbh, if he was mine he'd be out on his ear pronto

Leave the bags on the doorstep, after you've changed the locks whilst he is out and ignore him.
I had to do it for WEEKS with my ex but I was not leaving the family home because he couldn't be part of the family.
Oh no.

Oh I am so sorry.

An exboyf of mine did this to me. I stayed with him a short while after finding out as he had already managed to erode my confidence. I eventually managed to get out of the relationship and in hindsight I could see that it was all down to his insecurity. There would have been nothing I could have done to prevent him going online. He wanted to know that he could attract other women. But he didnt want to let me go either.

People like this can be very damaging, malicious and downright nasty. If he doesnt respect you and your marriage, then he doesnt deserve you.

Good luck.

He is treating you terribly, and women who contact him via the service thinking he might be a serious prospect are being used too.
He is not being nice to any women at all.
Does he actually like women?

Sympathy for you: this is terrible.

You are not being unreasonable, you are being nicer to him than his behaviour warrants.

have just read this thread- i really feel for you, do you have children? I think you definately need to get him out- think about what is best for you long term, don't let him ruin your confidence or self image- easier said than done if you love him but nobody is worth that and if he loved you back he wouldn't do it.

Good luck xx
