Dh using escorts

I've never posted here before-my youngest is 6 and I thought my parenting forum days were behind me but I don't know where else to turn as I'm so ashamed. I found quantities of cash going out of dhs account, and then payments to adult works. He tried to pretend it was just for porn then admitted he's several times met women for sex. He said its cos I've 'shut the door on sex' and that part of our life is dead to me. Sex is an issue in that he's always wanted more than me but I didn't realise it was this awful and tbh beyond angry that he didn't tell me things had got to the point where he was about to pay, rather than just diving in. He says to put myself in his shoes but I'm so upset with everything I can't. I should have seen this coming (no pun intended!) as he's always used porn a lot but that that, with the sex we do have albeit not that often (4 kids, full time jobs etc) that was enough. I can't bring myself to tell anyone IRL. I can't imagine being single (we've been together over 20 years!) or taking him out of the kids lives. I'm so upset, so angry, words actually fail me. I had to offload somewhere before starting to eve n think about what I want to do next.

thank you all. I have to concede o could have done more to talk to him about this, but having a reasonable conversation with him about it was difficult as he'd not see things from my point at all

What he has done is scummy.

He's such a coward for not facing into his issue with you.

Oxygen and food are essential, sex is not. Monks don't die because they're not getting any.
He chose to pay for sex from a prositute, using the families money to betray his wife. What he has done is vile and I would be in shock too.
My advice is to try and eat something (even just a biscuit) and try and take each hour as it comes.
Hopefully the anger will kick in soon, it becomes much easier to leave them then Flowers

In his (limited)'defence he did try but there's a world of difference between 'i need more sex' and 'I'm going to spend thousands (yes, thousands) on sex'. He can afford it but that's not the bloody point.

Personally I would not want a man back who had slept with prostitutes & spent £1000's doing so. When having sex I Wud be thinking abt him with them. Nah u sound too nice a lady for that.
He can still be a good father to the kids.
Ultimately it's ure decision but think with ure head & not ure heart.

Joanny · 03/09/2017 22:15

Thanks Plink. Think that's why I went out as my heart just wanted to scream at him and that's not great for the kids. My head does feel clearer now x

Even if you could forgive this, how could you forget?

And put yourself in his shoes.... well surely you were both in the same relationship having infrequent sex and you may different choices.
