Boyfriend of 4 years and dad to my children caught cheating with multiple prostitutes... I’m a crushed & need advice

Hi all, so the subject gives it away and I’ll try not to ramble on too much but i am really struggling to process and cope with this, I have no one to talk to and just need advice. So I’ve been with my partner (let’s say ‘bob’) for 4 years. I have a son 8 from previous relationship, a 2 year old son (mine & bobs) and also currently pregnant (mine and bobs). I was completely head over heals with Bob, I knew him from when we was young and he’d always been the perfect man from the beginning of our relationship, he turned out to be an amazing role model from my son who’s bio dad is a complete dead beat, my son adores bob. We had 1000% trust, I gave him everything I had in me, and I felt he did too! We never row, only sometimes have minor disagreements but never had a screaming match. So I came across a message from a guy on bobs phone which was talking about a reverse booking that bob made on adult work and basically this guy watches (don’t know if he joins) his wife have sex/ give oral sex to people, the messages were so detailed and This couple came from a good 2 hour drive from where we live and bob at the end said he will meet them in a few weeks. After I read that I felt destroyed, but felt this wasn’t Bob, I broke down. I told him what I saw and he denied it all and said it was probably someone at work messing about, yet he didn’t confront anyone for doing this I BELIEVED THE BULLSHIT HE TOLD ME. So 5 months later in September just gone I was on our iPad which is linked to his iCloud account he has on his phone, i logged into a clothes site and it gave me a list of all his saved usernames and passwords and for what websites they’re for... I saw adult work 😰 I logged in and there were pages and pages on him making request bookings (I have learned that this is him basically making an advert for his requirements and others messaging him if they can meet his needs) there were so many, also messages of him asking a local escort saying ‘are you around now to come to my house for a blowie’ OUR FUCKING FAMILY HOME 😩 whilst I was out with family which he said he didn’t feel up to attending (didn’t bother me that he wanted to chill after a day at work, I get that). I can’t remember what she replied and then he said ‘you met me before and sucked me off in the back of my *) he stated the make out car which we recently brought, he never owned one before. Anyway I confronted him, he denied it all and said he never met these women, Cried his eyes out to me begging for a second chance, and how much we mean to him bla bla bla. he is only 26 and the women he stated gave him a blowie before is 52?! I wouldn’t dream of ever disrespecting him in the slightest, I just feel so let down, humiliated and used. We had a sex life, all throughout pregnancy I made the effort to be intimate almost every night. I just don’t understand, anyways his excuse was that he feels lonely at times and he just used to message people for a reply, I know it’s bullshit! He lied to me once about where he was before we lived together (I sound crazy but he set himself up on my phone so I knew where he was but I think he done it wrong and tried to do it so he could see where I was) anyways that was a while ago and at the time he told me he was at home but he wasn’t, so I told him my sister see him and then he said he was picking his mate up. why would you lie about that? I don’t know but After finding this all out with the messaging escorts we were distracted with moving again as our landlord put the property up for sale so I kind of felt I got over it, and now I’m pregnant again I’m so emotional and I can’t stop thinking about it, I think it’s now sunk it how bad this is, I cry to him every night and I’ve noticed I’m trying too hard to be more naughty with our sex life, it’s so embarrassing but he stated to escorts ‘can I see you at 2pm for external prostate’ I had no idea what this even was before and now I’m doing it because I just want to fulfill his needs and him not go elsewhere, I can’t bare the thought he’s touched and been intimate with other women, I said to him last week ‘you won’t admit what you’ve done because your ashamed’ and now he doesn’t deny it, I gave him everything I had in me, we have a family, a home, I work from home and provide too, I cook, I always make sure the house is tidy when he comes home, I just am so heartbroken, I can’t tell any of my friends because instantly they will hate him, I feel that if this happened sooner I would of left but I now have 2 kids to think about and and another one on the way. He reminds me he’ll never do it again but I don’t think I can believe him, surely after I confronted him about the message from the guy then he would of stopped knowing how much it hurt me to read! My whole world seems to have crushed, I thought we had such a strong relationship, my friends still now tell me how much they envy me for me and see how ‘happy’ I am, I feel like a fraud because they don’t know the half of it, I just need help, I don’t know what I should do ....
Many thanks X

@AMSxxx @myloxxx It'll be your year if you let it be! You could be free of having to be a performing seal in so many areas of your life. No demands on you from him anymore. It's relaxing, I promise. xxx

Pantsomime · 05/02/2020 23:18

OP it’s not a challenge or exam you have to do called there’s a way to fix this man you just need to keep at it until you’ve figured the puzzle out.

He’s a twat, he’s not your future- you know fine well that your family would not think as you say they do if they knew him and think about you and your DCs

You can’t change the past but you are in control of YOUR future - not how his doings affect you

I get you are stuck at the mime and may not be able to physically move on, but start getting your head right

He’s the twat not you

myloxxx · 05/02/2020 23:25

Thankyou all, i definitely don’t think about my first ever break up 😂 I’m sure in time I’ll look at this one the same.
I come from a broken family and I think I’ve always tried to avoid having that, it’s so embarrassing, I feel like I am to blame! Although I know I’m not, but you feel as if you are! I’m just so gutted he wasn’t who I thought he was, I wish you all knew the person I thought he was so you’d understand how shocking this is and hard to believe! I just keep reminding myself that if he could do that as easy as he did, there’s just no way he respected me the slightest! Some of you are probably thinking I’m answering some of my questions but because no friends or family know of this (his mum & dad know now) I can’t open up and get an outsiders view/opinion! I’m sorry for my spelling too, I’m typing too fast and not realising. This is just so sickening, I wished he wasn’t this person 😩😩 before discovering this I really thought I had the world in my hands, there was nothing he could do that made me get the ‘ick’ (you know when something makes you cringe). I’m just an idiot for being so blind.. xxx

Interestedwoman · 05/02/2020 23:26

When you feel weak, try and remember all the unpleasant stuff he's done. You can write about it here if you like, and everyone will help you become even more aware of what a shit he is, and strengthen your resolve.

I bet he made you feel you had to do a lot of nasty stuff, if he's anything like most of these guys.

And that's not including all the draining demands of playing the perfect 1950s housewife.

SkinRash · 05/02/2020 23:27

@myloxxx you need a hug irl, I wish we could help you feel better. You don't deserve all this what he has done. All this stress and upset is not good for your pregnancy.
How far on are you?
This man is a disgusting sex addict and a compulsive liar. You haven't known the whole person, just the facade he wanted you to see.

Put yourself in his shoes and imagine yourself avoiding family occasions so you can carry out these sordid meet ups and messaging of men, not only that but spending your family's money on them to come to his house behind his back?!

It's total disrespect and utter contempt for you.

My advice would be, think of the children you already have. If your pregnancy isn't too far along I'd seriously consider a termination. Life with a man like him is not going to suddenly get better, he's addicted. The lies, the thrill, the cheating, the getting sex the way he demands it and paying for it. You can't fix someone like that.

If you stay it will eat away at your soul and destroy you. He's destroyed the relationship already, time for you to clear out the scraps and move on. Get a health check also. Men like him don't care about risks of sti's.

I'm sorry. Men like this are utter trash.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 05/02/2020 23:32

Well you need to leave him don't you

And tell all your friends and family exactly why

ThreeFish · 05/02/2020 23:36

Don’t blame yourself. Have you family you can confide in and offload to?

myloxxx · 05/02/2020 23:37

Like he want controlling or anything like that, and never made me do things. But after discovering this horrid stuff, I noticed he seemed to enjoy external prostrate massage (so sorry for tmi) but basically it’s a blow job and you rub the bit that’s in between balls and bum, I think if I had to stick a finger in there I defo would NOT be doing that lol I stupidly ordered things like bed straps (planned to use after pregnancy of corse) it just makes me feel like the biggest Dick that I’m doing all of this, I am the biggest dick for it no doubt about that! It’s vile how people can do this to someone they are meant to love, if he wasn’t in to me then he should of left me ages ago! I’ve never really gone through something like this, that’s why I’m finding it hard too. My eldest sons dad is 7 years older than me (I’m 26) and he just was a bum, smoked weed, was paranoid, lazy, not attractive at all (it became more noticeable after have a family). Never felt second best or anything and that was so easy for me to walk away from! So frustrating I can’t have a wine or cigarette 😩 xx

notapizzaeater · 05/02/2020 23:41

You've dint nothing to be ashamed of, he has so don't be afraid to tell your family and friends

myloxxx · 05/02/2020 23:43

@SkinRash (I’ve just figured out to reply to people directly lol) I’m 17 weeks pregnant, so just over 4 months! I’m not gonna lie, I’ve never had termination but if I was only 2 months then I think I would definitely of done that, I have thought about it but it’s well in the open and I just don’t know if I can bring myself to doing that, like I can financially support all 3 children without any help and I adore being a mum, I don’t think I could live with doing that, I’ve got one child with him so what’s another (you see what I mean) oh I’m just confused right now 😩 I’m usually asleep by 9.30pm and I’m so awake, my 2 year old still wakes for a bottle 🤣😩 And yes when you put it like that ‘if I was making excuses and meeting men’ it’s disgusting!! I’m so happy I done this post because your all helping me realise a lot xx

Interestedwoman · 06/02/2020 00:00

Keep going hun. xx

user1479305498 · 06/02/2020 10:54

Thing is OP, he was into you so don’t feel it’s ‘you’ - problem is he is into getting frequent kicks elsewhere too. It’s ‘him’ that needs to see a shrink- not you. Totally understand this behaviour is more shocking when it comes from someone you wouldn’t suspect one bit, I think many ladies on here have been there. I had a friend whose husband was a serious academic, very quiet , not a jack the lad, PHD level, and he was 100% like this too, totally behind her back for years. My friend was utterly broken and gobsmacked, she now trusts no bloke at all sadly .

Urkiddingright · 06/02/2020 11:08

Breaking up is hard but it’s even harder to remain in an unhappy, broken relationship which bears zero trust. You will never trust this man again. He betrayed you multiple times and used your family home and car which is just utterly disgraceful. If you stay with him you will forever be looking over your shoulder wondering whether he’s at it again. I guarantee he won’t stop either, he will just get better at covering his tracks.

Notmynameok · 06/02/2020 11:10

I don't really have any advice to add to advice already given. I just wanted to say I am thinking of you, you don't deserve any of this. You can now move on and be the best mummy to your DC and start to build your self esteem.

Sending big hugs.

ToEarlyForDecorations · 06/02/2020 11:15

He's a punter. If you stay with him, he'll keep using prostitutes.

This^

They like the control (over some one else's body) that paying for sex gives them. It's their sense of entitlement to sex, to a woman's body that leads them to buy sex. They believe it when the prostitute tells them they love sex.

Do not do any more kinky or fetish sex with him. Unless you want to. Anyway, how come he isn't begging you for your forgiveness ?

You are not a prostitute (certainly don't become his.) Do not attempt to be like one for him. Why should you ?

Halestorm · 06/02/2020 11:41

You'll twist yourself inside out and will never be what he wants in bed, because what he wants is temporary ownership of different women's body parts as and when he wants x or y sex act.

You can't compete with that, love. No woman could. You could be the most gorgeous nymphomaniac on the planet and this man would STILL seek out prostitutes.

I know you said that you got tested when you found out but you are still having sex with him and he's still probably having sex with prostitutes. And you are pregnant so extra care is needed to ensure that you don't contract an STI that could harm the baby. Can you honestly trust him right now with your sexual health? I wouldn't.

mamato3lads · 06/02/2020 12:27

Oh OP I have just read this thread....you must be in bits!! Angry

I think the hardest part is the realisation that someone you thought you knew so well is actually someone completely different. So shocking and utterly heartbreaking.

He's dirty....really dirty .... and god knows what hes been up to.

Whatever you do, dont let him near you intimately!

I know it's easier said than done but you cannot stay with this man!! Even if he never did it again (bullshit) you will still have to live with the knowledge he DID do it and would have happily carried on if not caught.

Hes got a dirty kink and no matter how hard you try to be more naughty etc, it will never cut it for him.

Leave if you can.....this is a whole world of pain for you and your children otherwise x

Scarfaceclaw21 · 06/02/2020 12:55

Dump this pathetic excuse of a man and move forward into your new life as a young woman who is independent and free.

No decent man would ever use prostitutes, never mind bringing them into your family home.

I understand that you are pregnant and feeling conflicted but you need to find your fire... Get angry! This person who you loved and trusted has treated you terribly. He is a disgrace and not fit to lick your boots. You are the mother of his children. He should have you on a pedestal.

Get him out of your home/ life and realise you deserve to be treated about a million times better.

ferando81 · 06/02/2020 13:26

Instead of punishing him you are rewarding him for his atrocious behaviour.Find your inner strength and leave him

CodenameVillanelle · 06/02/2020 13:36

You poor poor love
Breaking up with the father of your kids because he's cheated is the most horrible, painful process to go through - lots of us have done it so we know. You're just going to have to grit your teeth and get through it.

myloxxx · 06/02/2020 13:48

Your are all so right, I just needed to hear It! I understand he has disrespected me as a women and the mother to his children in the most horrific ways possible. I’m just so heartbroken and still so shocked. I’ve booked a doctors app for Monday where I will be tested again, He left last night and won’t be returning home, his mum knows exactly what’s happened and is so upset, she’s coming round shortly to see me and the children, and I’m going to give her his stuff.

The thing is, I feel he’s not showing any remorse really, sends the odd text saying his sorry and then raises his voice at the fact i keep bringing it up and having ago at him for it, but I mean I have every fucking right to! I’m so angry now as I’m seeing it for what it is, I told my friend who is so supportive which has helped me. It’s just the fact I’m pregnant which isn’t helping, I have a scan next week which I won’t remind him of but just upsetting I’ll be there in my own from now on.

It’s awful people can do this, and thinks it’s nothing, the pain is horrendous, he wasn’t sociable, so laid back, never made inappropriate comments about women etc just convinced me he was the one and then goes and does this!!

I want to tell him to take the ‘fucking car’ back and I’m happy to walk for a while to do schools runs etc, I don’t want him thinking I need him in anyway but it’s bloody freezing lol and the hospital for the scans etc aren’t a bus or train ride away, also the fact my 8 year old has his difficulties he’s also on a part time school table.

My life just feels like it couldn’t get any worse right now, I envy those who are happily married and in a real committed relationship, I’ve wanted it my whole life, I just never deserved this, nor did my children.

We’ve just moved to a bigger house which now if I’m the only adult I’m happy to downsize and the rent be cheaper of corse but then I’m worried it will disturb the kids.

It’s not right I’m having to pick up the pieces and been left to deal with the shit and he gets to walk away and not stress about the kids, or appointments. His only worry’s will now be paying for more sex. Such a cunt
Xx

Missarad · 06/02/2020 15:01

How did you get all his passwords etc

myloxxx · 06/02/2020 15:52

@missarad he’s phone was linked to our iPad, and the iCloud on the iPad was his which was in his phone and I was on a clothing website and went to log in. Basically when you go to input log in details it shows ‘other passwords’ and the bottom, I clicked on that and it showed me everythingggg, every website and the username and password for them

DrCoconut · 06/02/2020 16:48

I split with my ex due to extremely inappropriate (actually illegal) behaviour resulting from "adult" website use. It was an escalation of earlier problems that I'd tried to get past and forgive for the sake of the kids, but that was the last time he got to take the piss. The authorities saw to that as well as me. This behaviour is addictive and makes monsters. It won't go away. You need to rise above it and believe that you can manage alone. It's not easy, women are conditioned to keep the peace and not "split the family up". I've had people tell me my ex is a good dad, if I'd given him what he needed he wouldn't have done it, it's my choice to cause a broken home for my kids because I filed for divorce etc. It's all bullshit but it messes with your head while you're hurting and shocked. Is a separation to get some space to make clear decisions an option?

DrCoconut · 06/02/2020 16:49

Oops, I see he's left. Good.
