Betrayed by Husband - mobile relationship with Other Woman

Name changed as previous posts have mentioned what a wonderful husband I had.
So last night I looked at his mobile as he was sleeping off a work's day out. It was slipping out of pocket, I knew the passcode and saw a txt. Opened it assuming it would be a quick msg from a colleague on day out and was stunned to discover a number of txts backwards and forwards with a woman saying she wished he was with her and loved him. Lots of kisses too from both of them. While he was waiting for me to pick him up he also sent her a txt asking if okay to call her - but she hadn't received until later.

I took the mobile out the room - long story short discovered also that he had a secret email address to which she had sent extremely explicit photos of herself close up. He kept all of them since being sent in Feb.

I am devastated. This is a man who I would have gambled my life on would not do this. He said it was someone he met in a city (far away) 6 months ago, she gave him her number and he got in touch. Says he found it easy to talk to her and that he's had no one to talk to since his mother died 3 years ago! Said he was calling her every 2 to 3 days. All her details are now deleted (I checked but that's not to say he knows them anyway)

The way I see it was not polite chit chat as she sent the pics and he kept them. Said he told her not to send anymore -but more were sent this week with the caption "to keep you going when you're away".

Now that he's been found out he is ever so sorry and can't believe he was so stupid.
Says he will move out as that's what I've said I want.

But I'm so hurt. I want to hurt him so he knows what it feels like. Have told one person in RL and she is very supportive.
We have one child together - 2 years old - and have been together for 6 years and both have children from previous marriages - which has been a strain at times but I never ever thought it would come to this.
Messages of support would be appreciated

It's a tough read, you'll probably have more questions for H after reading it, but it will also highlight some truths when you are looking for the 'why?' and 'how could he?' She also has a website that's worth a browse. The book was my parting gift to H when he left Grin

There usually is more than they are telling ime, they are into minimising, damage limitatation (ha!) and don't like to reflect to much on their behaviour as, oh gosh, it comes out looking just a tad tawdry and they look like a complete knob.

They often, again ime, want you to make them feel better.

The book is a tough read but much harder for the betrayer as its like holding a mirror up.

Hope you are doing ok - be kind to yourself and take things easy.

Says he feels like it was a 'bubble' and escapism and had never thought about any repercussions.

Thats exactly what mine said and he definitely didnt have sex with her. I think to him it was like porn that talked back. Pathetic really.
