Hi. This is a bit of a long story I'm sorry. I'm desperate for some help/advice - I've been with my partner for 16 yrs & we have a great relationship except about 10 yrs ago he stopped being interested in me sexually. This has been extremely difficult to deal with and has seriously affected my self esteem. I'd tried being patient, not being so patient, taking the lead, not taking the lead, basically anything I could think of to fix things. Anyway, a couple of times recently I decided to make the first move and was very quickly rejected. One of the times we were away staying in a lovely hotel as a treat he arranged for me for Mother's Day. I was so upset I decided to go to bed (it was early eve) and refused to go out for our planned food & drinks. He went out alone & didn't come back until early next morning, very much the worse for wear. I've since seen that he spent a substantial amount of money in a lap dancing bar that night.... Ok, I can deal with that, no great shakes. But then I've discovered a bombshell. I've found out he has been registered on Adultwork for years, and has been sending hundreds of messages arranging to meet. Some were 'outcalls', some 'incalls' and a couple of 'car meets'. I've had to learn quite a lot the last couple of weeks and must admit I have been quite devious in that after confronting him, he de activated his account and was just devastated at what he'd done. I secretly reactive tied his account and changed the email address for alerts to mine so I could do some incognito investigating (bad I know but this has been tearing me apart). Anyway, he had deleted all the in messages he'd received, and they can't be retrieved. Unfortunately I had only read through and taken screenshots of a few before confronting him....
Anyway, I'm rambling too much! Things had improved massively between us, but having been betrayed, I decided rightly or wrongly to continue to investigate. He swore he had never been with any of these girls and was just getting a kick out of making arrangements etc. I then found out one had been to my house. He said he panicked when he realised how real it was when she arrived, so he backed out. I've now found messages where he'd arranged car meets, even saying where they'd met last time! They always coincide with when I was around, yet the outcall ones always coincide with when I wasn't here. He also works away a lot and has been arranging meets at the hotel he usually stays at. Now when I've confronted him again about these car meets, he is insisting they're not actually in person meetings, but are webcam sessions, where the girl uses a laptop in her car, and he interacts via webcam from home. I don't believe him. Why would a girl drive somewhere in her car to do a webcam session, it makes no sense? I've googled it to death, and everything I've seen so far only points towards these being meeting (& the rest!) in person.
I've even tried messaging the very girls using his account that I've hijacked asking them, but no joy! I've now set up another account, pretending to be a guy new to this and messaged the same girls asking them if they offer car meets and what it involves, but they are just asking me to call them!
I don't know what to do, I've got no one I can talk to about this. He's away on holiday with some friends at the moment which has given me hours to investigate but I feel like I'm going mad, it's completely taking over my life & every waking hour (which is a lot at the moment as I can't eat or sleep & just counting down the hours when I'm in work to get home and investigate some more)
Can anyone help me at all? Are car meets sometimes via webcam, or am I being bluffed big time? We had such a good relationship apart from this, and I do know how sorry he is and am very confident he won't do it again, but I can't stand the thought I've been lied to. I've been through bank statements in the most meticulous detail, but he has always used large amounts of cash since I've known him, so I can't really pin much down in that way.

I just want to know re the car meets and if he has met a girl in person and god knows what else.
So sorry for the monumentally long post, had to give the background!
Please please help!
Thank you so much in advance

Above all he had sex with a prostitute in your home.Even if you could live with the rest this shows complete lack of respect.This man likes the comfortable life he leads not you.

I am so sorry you are going through this. But you need to accept the awful truth. Sort out some counselling as soon as you can - you will need it. Of course he has slept with other women - probably many. Wanting to believe it isn't true will cause you so much more pain down the road. You will NEVER get the truth - never. You need to decide the truth based on the evidence, then decide what YOU want to do with YOUR life. I've been in a similar position (affair not web sites) and your partner will not give you the truth - why? because he knows it's done if you know the whole truth and he'd rather just keep on with the status quo - he does not care about you, love is as love DOES and this is not love - keeping you trapped and miserable in a sexless relationship while he pursues another life on his terms - is that love?

I can't believe I read this whole thread, only realising on page 7 it was from 2015, and we never found out if Becky was ok!

Daydreamer2407 · 21/06/2018 19:24

He really has manipulated you and you clearly hang on every word he says. It's sad to read. He will definitely do it again.

If any of you ladies care to scroll through ukpunting you will see the lengths these men go to to avoid being caught by their OH. They normally have a 'punting phone' and change the sim regularly and hide the phone. They use secret browsers so you can't check their history and many of them will only book via a phone call to avoid any link on adult work. They read Mumsnet and hate us because we're exposing them more and more. Please be aware that they will read all this stuff and even pose as women to find out how ladies are catching out their men. They disgust me.

An account that frequently makes arrangements and backs out would be blocked as a time waster! Sex workers don't tolerate having the time booked up and then wasted - it loses them money!

You're deluding yourself. Desperately trying to believe the unbelievable.

Bollox. Zombie. Must read dates more carefully!
