Husband has history in Thailand and is planning to return

Hi, my husband had an affair 10 years ago when travelling in Thailand, he continued to text/email her for several months after he got back. I found the phone he bought to keep contact with her and confronted him. He told me he planned to leave me and our children and go live with her. His justification for his actions was that he didn’t feel I needed him anymore! We decided to try and make a go of things and he agreed not to contact her again, although I have struggled to deal with it, I thought we were doing OK. I don’t feel the same as I used to about him but I do still love him and want our marriage to work. BUT he has just announced that he plans to go back to do voluntary work in Thailand for 3 months next year and I am finding the idea abhorrent. I believe him when he says he has altruistic reasons for going but I worry that it will happen again and I cannot go through it all again. My dilemma is...do I try to stop him going or let him go and hope for the best but prepare for the worst?

Start sorting out your money.get it put where he can't spend it on prostitution ..he's really taking the piss.

Even if his intentions were completely pure I'd still tell him to fuck off. What makes him think he can swan off for 3 months when he has responsibilities to his wife and children?

I wouldn't have any big talk with him, as I bet the sly fucker has already aimed to squirrel money away to fund his trip to the Thai girl. Get all papers together Id withdraw as much funds as I could too. Do nothing until thats in hand. Its already clear the marriage is over, forewarned is forearmed he's already played his hand. No need to show yours immediately, OP. In your shoes not a penny would go towards funding this trip and supporting whoever he is going over there to support.

Ah yes, he's going to volunteer with an amazing charity which supports young women to become financially self-sufficient (by having sex with gross old western men). What a champ.

Divorce. Pronto.
