Husband used escorts

Hi, I found out that my husband had been using escorts not long after our child was born. I was devastated. I couldn't believe he would be capable of such a thing. When I found out I moved out temporarily to get some space as my world just fell apart. After a few months I went back for half the week and he had counselling and we then had couples counselling. I guess to see if I could make any sense of it and to try to have a conversation without just raging at him. It now transpires that he had still been using them in the time between I left to when I came back, which has made me feel hopeless as I thought he would see the damage that he had caused to me and our family and stop doing it. He said he did it because he didn't think there was any chance of me taking him back.

I'm sure there are a million people who would say get rid and don't stand for it and I can't actually believe that I didn't just divorce him straight away but things aren't that clear cut when you are actually in that situation. I guess I'm wanting to know if there is anyone who has been in my situation and if they gave their partner another chance, how did it go? I just feel at a cross roads. I love this man and I wanted us to bring our child up together but I really don't know now if that trust can ever be rebuilt X

My husband is the same - an excellent lier.

I have seen on his phone bill and bank statements that he has called escorts and taken £100 out of bank on at least five occasions but he still will not admit to what he has done. He has changed his story so many times but he is such a convincing lier it's still hard to not believe him!

I genuinely feel sorry for you but for goodness sake get angry. He's been fucking other women, he's been fuelling the prostitution industry and all the pain it causes and he's been using money that could have been spent on your family to do it. On every level he is a grade A piece of shit. There is nothing to understand other than that.

Herotherhalf said it all really. I have been married a very long time. We have five kids and have had some long dry spells but there is no excuse. If my dh did this he would be wearing his ass for a hat and i would never, ever touch him again.

Why do women overthink these things? Blame themselves by thinking they should have done something better.

Men are adept at guilt transference to hide the truth and take the heat off themselves.

Escorts exist because men pay them. Men visit them for a quick sexual fix NSA.

These men are adults, they know what is right or wrong. Get real please ladies. Don't over think it. If they visited escorts and got caught the next time they will be more devious.

Gloria is right. The reason behind it is that he wants to do it and believes that he's entitled to.

He will dress that up as lots of others things e.g.

  • he was depressed
-he has low self esteem
  • you weren't giving him enough attention
  • he didn't want to have sex with you so soon after you gave birth
  • he thought you wouldn't have him back
  • you are not forgiving enough
  • you are angry at him

I'm sorry, but unless he changes his view that he's entitled to buy women for sex, he will continue to do it. He'll just hide it better.

That was the most depressing thing I've ever read.
