well, that's it. I would appreciate any info about such places in London to help me put the pieces together so I can confront him before I do LTB. I have some evidence and I did a bit of research on the Internet but I need to know what I'm talking about because he is going to deny. I put together pieces of electronic trails that he left behind as he didn't think it would mean anything to me. or maybe I should just stop torturing myself and LTB.

neverbetrickedagain - that's the way you're looking at it. Men are visually stimulated.

neverbetrickedagain · 19/08/2016 16:04

fair enough, but they are not creatures of bare instincts only. family and kids require lots of different types of compromises. I don't care how horny he was. that's not how a husband and a father behaves.

Nope just because Swingers clubs exist and cheating web sites exist and porn after porn sites exist, we do have self control, if we want to, nobody does anything they don't want to do.

Swinging involves planning, lying about where you were, are going, costs money and puts your partner at risk of sti's - and all because it's a man, sorry not buying it, a man still has morals, values and respect for women and their partner and children, men who do this are entitled pricks, he's got all the control anyway, even financially.

I'm sorry that you are going through this x
If you have evidence that he has visited these places, I would say that is enough. Please don't torture yourself with the details and I do hope you get rid of him.

neverbetrickedagain · 19/08/2016 16:57

adora1, I couldn't agree more with you!

PickledCauliflower, thanks for your kind words. I will try to stop. I just need to get a way out.

oh great

Hmm why do you need all this guff? Just ltb.

NeedAnotherGlass · 19/08/2016 17:35

There is a massive step between watching porn and going to a swinging club!
Any man going to a swinging club is looking for sex outside marriage. If he has not agreed it with you in advance, he has cheated, regardless of whether he actually had sex or not.
But I'd leave him just for his general attitude towards you.

neverbetrickedagain · 19/08/2016 17:42

tbh I don't know why I'm doing this. I do know he went there. I know he cheated. and tbh I was fed up with his ways even before I found out about cheating. swinging is just a cherry on top of his cake

Why does he have the access to your money? There is obviously even more wrong here than him fucking other people.

Grannypants1 · 19/08/2016 17:50

*the control over even.

neverbetrickedagain · 19/08/2016 17:55

I don't work. I look after the kids. He earns the money. He is on a decent wage. He pays money into joint account and I use it for food, things for the house and kids. It's not much and it is spent quickly. He keeps the rest of the money in his current and savings accounts. I have no access to it. I'm actually very angry with myself for letting myself end up in this position.

OP posts:
Grannypants1 · 19/08/2016 17:57

Don't blame yourself. It is easy to end up there if you trust and love someone. You think why would I need to? But it sounds like he has actively been hindering your independance, keeping you dependant. That to me is scarier than the cheating.

Grannypants1 · 19/08/2016 17:58

It is shitty that you are on a budget but his dick obviously isn't

neverbetrickedagain · 19/08/2016 18:08

I never thought things would turn out this way. But little by little it happened. I don't think he intentionally hindered my independence, esp. financial, it's just that he is so bloody selfish and can't see anything past his own needs. I've never ever seen such selfishness. And me being passive, not demanding more and putting my needs side didn't help either. He genuinely can't understand that other people have any needs - not even his own children or wife.

This is why you need a really good lawyer.

Go onto this benefits calculator and work out what you're entitled to. Go then onto the child maintenance calculator and work out what he'd have to pay. It won't affect benefits.

Then make an appointment with a solicitor and make plans to leave the bastard.

RestlessTraveller · 19/08/2016 18:18

Well this thread has been a huge revelation. The swingers clubs I've been to never allowed single men. Well I never!

Anyhoo get rid. He's controlling and a cheat.

neverbetrickedagain · 19/08/2016 18:29

Thanks Imperial!
