Husband confessed to prostitute

My husband works abroad for long periods and has done for last 10 years

We have two primary aged kids who absolutely adore him

I wouldn't say we were happily Married, we have had lots of issues a lot around me having adhd and him struggling with it

But when we sat down and spoke about it we always agreed we both want to try and make it work, so we stay together and for most the time things are ok I'd say.

Anyway he has just broken down crying out the blue and told me on his trip away this time he got very drunk and slept with a prostitute ...well tried to but it didn't work out as he couldn't get it on due to alcohol but regardless of that he took her to his room and certainly tried to have sex with her.

He says it's been eating him up the guilt and that's why he has told me. I do believe this is the first time as why would he have told me. There is literally no way in earth I would find out and I don't have any trust issues with him ...well until now

I've no idea what to do, he has left it to me to decide. He will do anything to gain my trust he says and really doesn't want to lose me and the kids but totally understands if it's over for us .

I don't know what to do the thought of a divorce and the future separated and what my kids will go through is making me want to cry.

He has always told me he thinks men who sleep with women for money is morally wrong and in his line of work unfortunately a lot of the men do , do it but he has always told me he just goes to his room and leaves them at the bar with the prositutes

Can someone make a mistake, or now is that him , always going to be cheating with these poor women.

We are meant to be celebrating our 10 year anniversary soon too.

I've no idea what to do. I know the sensible thing for my self worth is to chuck him to the kerb but I'm scared for my kids and I know I will struggle alone with them.

Thank you so much for replying and sorry for bringing it up. You're totally right though. The issue for my friend is that she caught him - he didn't confess. I'm devastated for my friend with this all coming out at Christmas. I'm so glad that things have been better for you though x

Hi, I know this is an old thread but this has happened to me recently. I just wondered how things went for you as I’m struggling.
