Op, 8 times I forgave my STBXH for registering on Adultfriendfinder, and other websites...
First it was just to look at the normal looking women (because it's hard to find amateur porn on the Internet, Right?
)
Second time it was because he felt lonely after my DS was born and I was busy, too busy for affection (busy working 5 months after DS was born to bankroll him, commuting two hours a day, taking my DD to nursery and being the sole parent in the evenings while he worked away and came home to do fuck all at the weekend...)
Third time there was a full profile up with his FB picture grinning away and a nice write up about how he wouldn't leave for the sake of his son (what a hero) but I was frigid, so what could he do...incidentally we were still having sex.
Same for the next three times...if I had sex with him (more) he wouldn't have to go on there and fantasise about sex with real women. No pressure there then! Incidentally fantasise - but sign up to be a gold member at a cost of £50 a month by the way....
Last few times it was an old account but remarkably rewritten in German and with our new location in another country. But I guess it was something to do while I was working 60 hours a week to keep him at home supposedly the SAHP for our son.
He didn't act on it apparently, until I found a letter he'd prepared in Word on his laptop during a surprise holiday I paid for, for us.
But I was being unreasonable op, because he didn't SEND the letter you see...
I'm not proud of it but I punched him in the face that night.
8 years of fucking misery seeping into all aspects of my life, not just my relationship...self doubts, depression, anger, frustration, confidence disappearing, worry, angst.
I became a worse person, mother, friend. Hidden in a shell of embarrassment and self doubt and self loathing.
And I can't blame him in the end...it was all my fault. I stayed. Forgave but could never forget. Gritted my teeth and slept with him at risk to myself. Risked my DC'd safety by staying with a man who could have been roping any lunatic into our lives on a dodgy website and fucking them in my home.
Giving personal information and putting us at risk.
Are you going to be the fucking mug that I was for much longer op? Please don't.
No matter how bad life is, I can trust myself and have some inner peace that it's all over now.
Please don't do this to yourself, leave before you get totally damaged.
