I found his POF profile - I think.

Been with my partner for two years, mortgage and 10 month old daughter together. Everything going swimmingly. Until I decide to snoop. Backstory is, my father cheated in my mum after 28 years of marriage and it blind sided all of us. I never want to go through that shock again so I occasionally check internet history etc. I never see his phone. It's always locked but he said its because the boys in work go through each other's phones and tease about what they find.

I very occasionally look through the newest members in my area on POF to see if he's on there. He used to use the site quite a lot before we met, so just to check he's still not using it I search his username now and again.

So one day I spot a new profile, no photo but the username is half the company he works for and half his surname so I clicked it. All the stats are him to a T. It says that he's just looking to chat and make friends but has his relationship status as single. I confronted him saying I think he had a profile and he went through he roof, refused to show me his phone and said that obviously I didn't trust him so there was no relationship left. He drove off in a temper despite me and the baby in the street crying and calling him to come back. He convinced me I was wrong and he was offended so I apologised, calmed the situation and we left it at that. I was confused and thought maybe it was just a coincidence.

He is working away at the moment so I checked the profile and it was still active. I made a fake profile contacted him and the style of writing and the spelling was him, I'm sure. He said he didn't know why he was on there and he was leaving the site. Sure enough the profile is now deleted, but not before I noticed that the location was edited to the town he's working in now.

I feel like a paranoid nutter. But It's all too much of a coincidence isn't it?

POF never ask you to update details. Even if you've been inactive for years as mine has.

You seem to be determined to believe him, even though you know for a fact he's been lying all along

If you were to stay with him. This is what you will be doing everyday. Wondering about pof and other websites and there are So so many and more gut turning ones to dredge through. You will drive yourself insane. Life will never be 'back to normal'
These issues are a big problem for both of you. They cannot be swept under the carpet and they certainly don't go away in a month or 2!
I know that moving on, on your own is daunting but a life of dredging through sites and wondering if he's meeting people is just hideous and will make you ill. You have already started down that road, trying to find out how pof works. Ask your self why do you really need to know?

On another note, have you looked into wether you do have to leave your family home? It's yours and DDs home do you really have to leave it?

Stop feeling sorry for him!!! He's a grown man who made his decision to betray and deceive you. Any consequences stemming from that are HIS responsibility! If anyone should be felt sorry for, it's you, I'm afraid, for believing you deserve him. There is no going back to the way it was, that is gone forever. Remember that lovely vision of a happy life with DD?
