husband cheated with escorts while I was pregnant

I don't know where to start. But here it goes...
I've been with my husband for 5 years (3 years married). We found each other somehow and fell deeply in love and decided to get married - his family did not want him to marry because I'm from the UK and not the "typical religious stay at home wife" - I was working in a corporate company, high salary, completely independent. So we got Married with no family at our ceremony, he moved out from his home and we started living together. As a side note, I have been living away from the UK for nearly 9 years due to my job - only visiting on holidays. He was so loving, caring, he left his family and wealthy lifestyle for me - to live with me, he was loved by all my friends and family he was actually the "perfect" husband in my eyes.

Last year I got pregnant (half planned half not - we tried for a year then gave up after no luck). His parents wanted to meet me since I was pregnant and actually started to accept the fact that we are married and will be having a baby. So everything was now perfect - we were both so happy, family was okay with us too and everything was just so perfect. During this time, I left my corporate job to work for my own company which I started on the side with him 4 years ago and we were becoming very successful.

We decided that it will be better if I give birth in the UK (since the healthcare system is terrible where we live) so I came back in January - with him. He had to manage our business so he kept going back and forth to see me and finally came back 3 weeks before my birth. I gave birth to a beautiful girl and my birth was very complicated; I was in the hospital for 5 days.

During my pregnancy and when we arrived back to our home after my birth he was acting very distant from me - still loving but not the usual. He wouldn't help out around the house, I was always left looking after our baby, cleaning, cooking and also still working from home and supporting out business as much as I can while our baby was sleeping.

while I was at home in the UK he would say he is going gym and would be out for around 3-4 hours.

Last month, something bugged me and while he was out of the house I saw his laptop was open so I couldn't help but look at his browser history. I was shocked to what I saw. My heart was pounding my hands shaking. He had been searching for escorts while in the UK - when he came to for our daughter's birth. He had sent so many, countless messages to escorts on adultwork - giving his own number. He was sending them messages while in the hospital with me after my birth and when we came home after the hospital... I don't have any proof that he slept with them but he has sent around 20 or more emails and messages to escorts. Before he came to the UK for the birth, he also took an Uber ride after saying goodnight to me to a strange place - which he said he went only to look at transexual escorts and he did not do anything with anyone.

Additionally, he has been watching gay and shemale porn only for around a year (or maybe more but I could only find info dating back to September last year). One Uber ride showed that while I was in the hospital recovering he went to a gay bar. He said he didn't know it was a gay bar... So on top of all the pretty blonde blue eye escorts in their early 20s - this was another blow to the face I had to deal with.

There was also another time when 4 days after my birth he went to another city in the UK for a seminar for 3 days and searched for escorts there too - but apparently "none of them got back to him".

It makes me so mad thinking that he kept telling me his credit cards were full - so he made me take out cash and give it to him. Now I just can't help but think that the cash he made me pull out was for his dirty work.

I confronted him and he never admitted to anything, it was just the more I found out the more he confessed. I begged him to open up to me and tell me everything - but he did not. It was only when I found out new information after searching. His reason for searching for escorts was that we were not having sex and he needed, to excuse my language, cum.

I took care of myself throughout my pregnancy, ı ate healthy did not put on a lot of weight, still worked out - went to the gym until the day I gave birth. I tried my best to make him satisfied in bed even though ı did not feel up to having sex - but obviously it was not enough. We never argued during my pregnancy - it went to smooth and although he never showed me the attention that maybe I was used to, he was always so attentive and caring. I trusted him and never ever thought he would do anything like this - not even close.

Since my pregnancy and after birth he has been managing our business more than me as I do not have the time as I did before. He says he is sorry, it will not ever happen again and it was just a "phase" he was going through. I try to forget it, I try for our daughters sake but it has been a month and I cannot get over what he has done. I feel so stuck and sick everytime I think of what he has done. The thought of my husband, my man, touching or even wanting another women (or man or shemale) makes me so sick.

Sorry for the long text, I really just needed to let the steam off somehow since I have not explained in this detail to anyone.

I'm considering divorcing but I just feel so bad for my daughter. At the same time I love him so much and want to believe that he will not do it again :(

As a side note, my mum and dad divorced because my dad was cheating on my mum for many years... so now I have no hope what so ever in relationships.

It would be divorce for me I'm afraid. I won't be knowingly married to a man who has been unfaithful with a prostitute. Talk less of a shemale...plus I'd be thinking he's gay or bi. Which I have no problem with...just not for my husband.

MissionItsPossible · 29/07/2018 10:17

You may want to believe he won’t do it again, but deep down, you know that it will. I’d say divorcing him would be the best thing for your daughter. She deserves a happy mother. Good luck Flowers

AveABanana · 29/07/2018 10:20

He will do it again.
He's done it repeatedly already.
He did it when you were in hospital.
He did it when you were pregnant.
He did it when you had a newborn.
He took your family money to do it.

Why the fuck would you think he's not going to do it again? All he might do is start hiding it. Because he's been happily doing it in the fucking open, after all.

userabcname · 29/07/2018 10:27

Leave him. I don't know how you can still love him after that. It's bad enough as it is, but to do it while you are having a baby is horrendous. You are in such a vulnerable place and he obviously knew it and took advantage of it. He sounds like a selfish bastard and you need to get out of the relationship. Get checked for STIs too.

usernameismyusername · 29/07/2018 10:30

STD test and leave the relationship pronto. He has zero respect for you and will do it again and again.

AtSea1979 · 29/07/2018 10:33

You know you have to divorce him. Talk to your mum, she knows what it’s like and can support you.

confusedmomm · 29/07/2018 10:46

Divorcing him would be the best thing for your daughter, and ultimately for you as well.

lakehouse · 29/07/2018 10:52

Not the point of the thread but...you were living outside the UK paying taxes in another country but come back to use the tax payer funded NHS to have your difficult birth? There are rules about that and people who abuse the NHS should be ashamed.
Re your husband, he is a dog who you will never trust again so time to start looking after yourself and your child and get away from him.

DrMorbius · 29/07/2018 10:55

which he said he went only to look at transexual escorts and he did not do anything with anyone that has to the best line I have read on MN. So he got a taxi after midnight went on a journey and then "looked" at a transexual escort!!!! Were they in a cage in the zoo?

Seems to me that a lot of blokes seem to just "look" at hookers/escorts/prostitutes.

Aquamarine1029 · 29/07/2018 11:57

Run for your life.

Ontheupyipee · 29/07/2018 13:29

He will do it again
I have beenin your position
I was with him for 24 years
Turns out he’s been at it practically the whole time,
I repeatedly believed his lies and promises
24 years wasted , get rid now,
You may think you love him, I did until the final straw in April but now 12 weeks on I see him for what he is, an entitled twat who will never change,

Read the script, it may change your life,

I know it’s hard and you will be swinging from love to hate by the minute but you deserve better , than this C**T

funnylittlefloozie · 29/07/2018 13:34

Get yourself tested for sexually transmitted diseases. If he was having sex with sex workers in the UK, he is doing it in your country as well. If your country has crappy health services, the sex workers there are probably less healthy as well. He may transmit diseases to you and any other children you may have with him. You may already have something that he acquired and passed on to you before you caught onto him.

Basically, get yourself tested, and get rid of him.

AnyFucker · 29/07/2018 13:38

Get down the clap clinic and divorce this sexually incontinent arsehole

You would be an utter fool to stay with him

TooJade · 29/07/2018 15:52

@Ontheupyipee so sorry to hear about what you have gone through and for so long... I really want to believe he has or will change but I guess once they are capable of doing such things, at some point it will always continue. stay strong x

Sorry to add to your problems op

But ide be worried about what he's been doing with the business while I was
Incapacitated, check the accounts and credit check yourself and him

TooJade · 29/07/2018 15:57

@lakehouse I pay voluntary contributions every month since I always had plans to return back at some point - I think this also covers nhs?

TooJade · 29/07/2018 16:04

The worst part is, I have to keep in contact with him as we still manage out business together and he manages a huge part of it at the moment. I don't have any baby sitter or family members to help with my baby where I live.

I dont understand how he can do all this so openly? he never deleted anything? maybe he deleted all the whatsapp messages from his phone but everything he did was still on his laptop. There's no access to porn sites in the country we live in, so he downloaded this extra connction VPN thing so he can connect to these sites (which is 13 usd a month) and a porn site subscription of 20 pounds a month. I used this vpn server thing to connect to the sites he has used. One site he was a member was tsdating but I could not see anymore information because deleted the vpn connection :(

Cricrichan · 29/07/2018 16:13

I could not remain with someone who has not only used escorts but so many and gone to get bars etc whilst you were having his baby. He must have been using them throughout your relationship? You don't suddenly start with such a load of activity.

I'd be protecting your business too.

Ontheupyipee · 29/07/2018 16:21

I think you have to accept that what he has done is huge, it’s not like he has looked at one site once, it’s persistent multiple behaviours, my gp said serial offending of this type never changes , that was the turning point for me, even my gp said run for the hills.

ThriceThriceThice · 29/07/2018 16:22

I’m so sorry. This is not how things should be with a new baby - I hope you have some support from friends/family. You are probably still in shock and will need time to process this and what it means for you.

It is sadly not unusual for emotionally-stunted men to cheat on their pregnant partners. This is the time when you are ‘vulnerable’ - you want extra support and care. A mature, kind, supportive man would have only been thinking of you and your baby. You will never trust your DH again - how can you? He’s not even being remotely honest with you now. You need to decide if you want to live like this.

I am a bit worried about your financial situation. If the business you set up is in a country where women’s rights are not protected, there may be implications regarding control. I would be contacting a lawyer asap

emsiboob · 29/07/2018 19:22

Ffs divorce him. The best lesson you can teach your daughter is that of self respect

TooJade · 30/07/2018 10:58

Hi everyone - thank you for your messages. I have told him I want a divorce and he has stopped supporting our business... so now I have a newborn and a huge business to manage on my own. I do have a helper so let's see. He blames me for wanting a divorce and putting our family and business in such bad situation... the cheek of him. How can someone go from being the kind loving supporting "faithful" husband to a total dickface? I'm so upset. I feel like breaking down and just giving up on everything but I know I have to stay strong for my baby. This is so hard.

Teabay · 30/07/2018 11:18

You will make it - you're stronger than you think.

Ontheupyipee · 30/07/2018 11:26

I am so sorry for what you will be feeling right now, you have done the right thing, he is following the script to a tee, have you read it? Very enlightening and makes you realise that he fits the pattern and has been purposely deceiving you all this time .
The blaming you is part of the script too.
Stay strong , protect your child, work hard, move on .

yellowpaper · 30/07/2018 11:30

Goodness OP. You are so incredibly brave and a brilliant mother to your daughter. Full of admiration for you. Well done for standing up for you and DD x
