So... Here it goes. Really need someone to share this with as I feel too embarrassed to talk about it.
Last Sunday I returned home after a day out with our 3 year old daughter. My partner was on nights so had been 'asleep' during the day but was in the shower when I got back. I've had suspicions for a while after finding an email for an online 'affair' site (which of course he brushed off and said was spam). However, when I open his phone he had been on numerous dating, chat and live porn sites.
After lots of talking he admitted he felt low and thinks our relationship has been pretty rubbish for a while. We decided to give it another go for our daughter and unborn child (I'm 23 weeks pregnant).
After lots more fishing because I felt like he was holding things back. I found out the real truth - he has pretended to be someone else online for years. He had a total of 35 apps on his phone all with numerous chats, videos and pics from women, on some he asks for phone sex and has even been on them whilst texting me. He has a secret folder on his phone, that looks like a game, within the folder was nearly 200 images and videos of women he had spoken to over the last year.
I can't talk to any of my family about this and really don't know where to go from here.
Please can someone help me with some advice? I'm sure I iust need a virtual slap to get me out of my 'what about my perfect little family' daze.

Frankly, if you stay with him again you're a fool.

If you stay together, will you be able to trust him or will you be thinking everytime he is away or on his phone or whatever, that he's doing it again? You're going to end up checking and trying to police him, and I tell you now, from experience, it's a horrible awful way to live and it still won't stop him.

He should do counselling. You might need counselling to rebuild your self esteem. You don't need it together right now. He does some work on himself, then maybe do relationship counselling, but not until he's done the work on himself.
