If you found out your partner of 10+ years had been watching gay porn ie men on men

I would assume that, given that some straight women watch women on women, he is just interested

The device he used is the issue imo

I agree with this.

@Earmuffsweather So he’s even accusing your 8 year old? OP I very very rarely say this, but honestly I don’t think I could stay with such a man. That’s disgusting and I’m really sorry. 💕

I discovered my 10 years partner/husband was gay and was having an affair with a common friend of ours. Before I discovered this undeniable evidence (through privates messages), he always denied being gay and tried to gaslighting me. When I finally discovered that undeniable evidence, I asked when was he planning to tell me the truth. He replied that he would never tell me the truth and that his plan was trying to make me feel that was paranoid and crazy (I.e. gaslighting) and just asked for divorce without him ever having to tell the truth. I discovered this evidence around 9pm one night, we had this conversation around 10pm the same night and I left him and the house around 10 am the day after. The next time I saw him was to sign the divorce.
I must say one thing: before I started crying and getting angry, the very first emotion I felt was relief because after all 'it was my fault'. We were very good work colleagues but we had a miserable life as couple and he always blamed me for this.
One of my best friend is gay and he says that he has lots of dates with gay men who are married and have a family. knows of my case, he always refuses a second date with them. He told me that these men never speak about their wives nor seem fell any guilt about the damage they are causing.

Correction: 'it was NOT my fault'

Wouldn't assume he's gay, unless I'd noticed other things ie. not having sex with you

Bisexual, curious. The fact it's taboo and not what straight men do (as in watch) can make it more alluring. Lots of people watch things they have no interest in in real life.

He could be bisexual. You need to talk to him.

An 8 year old doesn't accidently click on gay porn.

Add this to the gay porn you found 8 years ago.

Your DP is a liar. And blaming a child.

How long has this been on your sons tablet? For all you know your son could've been exposed to this for quite some time before hes mentioned it to you.

Google how to check the browser history on the tablet, its pretty easy and then do that. You can then see what else has been searched and clicked on and I believe at what day and time.

It's normal for women to watch two women and men to watch two men. It does not make him gay

What have you done to ensure your child is ok?

I like to watch male/female female/female male/male and I'm a straight female. Male/male is my favourite.

But could your son have found it by accident?

This sounds like he's overcompensating OP. You should have mentioned it being your child's tablet in the OP - it sounds like he's trying to hide it (and then gaslight and blame your child!).

You can check browser history easily depending on the device - if you search (on google) "how to see browser history on insert tablet name" it should help.

He hates gays? Yeah, he's gay and you're his cover. I'm so sorry, OP. However, regardless of whether he is gay, bi or whatever, he left porn sites visible to your son. That is COMPLETELY unacceptable, and that should really be where your anger is directed first. Why was he using a child's device to look at porn? Was it giving him an extra thrill - doubly taboo, if you like?

He is a disgrace, and he would be binned off if it were me.

A friend discovered her husband was watching gay porn. She looked at his browsing history, which he hadn't bothered to delete, and found he was also looking at child porn. At which point she rang the police.

Watching porn on your child's laptop is unforgiveable. I'd be concerned that he is pushing your son's boundaries in some way, but even if not, he has subjected his child to a form of trauma and that needs to be dealt with. Your son needs support.

As for your husband, I'd get rid. Doesn't matter if he's gay or not although I'm giving a bit of a side eye to all the people saying straight men like watching gay porn... whatever. It's irrelevant. What matters is the lies to you and the harm to your child.

My ex was repulsed by gays which made me question whether he said that to distract from being gay himself. I never found gay porn though, just women. Might have hid it though.

I do think it's likely it was your partner that searched it. And that's disgusting to do it on your son's laptop. Doesn't mean he's gay but could be!

Plenty of straight women watch gay porn, and lesbian porn - doesn't make them homosexual.
