NC for this .
Ok I know it was wrong but I looked at my husbands phone . He had been behaving very distant for some time , very little interest in sex. Disconnected , that type of thing . Unless I approach him to hug him not touching me for a few days wouldn’t be uncommon . We’ve been married 20 years so maybe that’s normal ?
Initially I put it down to work cause he spends a lot of time working ( own business ) but I have asked him several times what’s going on and he is just still very distant , says he’s just busy , blames the dwindling sex on me or that he’s tired . Ok fair enough , but I just had this strong feeling something was off . I know some will tell me I should leave because I don’t trust him , yes I know, but I just felt it was a complete roadblock and I let my frustration get the better of me
Anyway he has a few days ago got a local brothel in his searches . It just says ‘viewed ‘ . I really have no idea what to think
I asked him about it , so yea now he knows I looked at his phone , and he just says he has no idea how it got there and I just have to believe him.
Has anyone experienced something similar . I’m feeling pretty crappy and stressed .

How are you getting on, OP?

Ok. Keep objective. And keep to what you know.

He has absolutely been on the webpage of a brothel close to your house. Deliberate choice.

He has lied directly to your face, so any further comment from him, is taken with this in mind.

He makes excuses not to be intimate and affectionate.

Actually, of those three, the first is the least of the problems. I've been on the website of the most expensive hotel in the world. Fascinating. I'd love to go. I haven't though.

He lies to your face and makes excuses not to share any affection. What is your stance on this? Would he attend counseling?

Yes to the distance, the lack of touching and lack of interest in sex. If I instigated a hug, it would feel like a friend's hug - a quick pat on the back. Yes to the references to being tired and stressed out due to running own business. Yes to the lengthy marriage.
Mine was clever in deleting browsing history and/or avoiding browsing on a shared device. Turns out mine had actually visited prostitutes at their places as well as booking prostitutes to hotel stays.
Not suggesting yours has done the same, but there are striking similarities to the behavioural changes you reference. You need to have a direct heart-to-heart with him before he risks your sexual and mental health xx
