DH put me on a sex site

69 replies

Pearlescentflower · 11/11/2022 01:33

My DH has consistently lied and walked out throughout our 16 year relationship.
We have 2 children and he even did this while he had access to his other child leaving me with him too. And my two older ones back then.
He controls the income because he's "the worker" (I worked for him and did some other work out of the home) he doesn't give me a wage but also takes the working tax credits. He refuses to pay any bills but does pay the car insurance but also has primary control over the car.
He has a problem with weed and also lies about his usage. Some hints of infidelity, finding messages that he claims were catfishing etc and that he consoles other women and discusses our problems also with other women but I have all kinds of rules for who I can and can't talk to and when.
After all these years, I told him I couldn't trust him anymore and couldn't sleep with him. He is very sexually manipulative and will give me the silent treatment for not putting out. And he threatens/warns to go with other women because I don't satisfy him.
Recently he took screen shots from a private video we made on his request, and put a paid advert online without my knowledge advertising me to other men.
He took it as far as to give out his number and our location and had been intimately messaging a number of men about me.
I was furious and told him it was disgusting to do that for his own entertainment.
He has blamed me for not "lighting his fire" and laughed at me saying "god forbid I have any excitement.
I think this is absolutely disgusting, and it's only a fraction of what he's been doing over the years.
I want him to leave, AIBU

To get the image taken down immediately call the revenge porn helpline. Just Google it and send them the link they'll sort it. After that immediately report him to the police. You are utterly reasonable. Im so sorry you've endured this so far

Museya15 · 11/11/2022 06:40

Why are you still with him?

Crazypaving22 · 11/11/2022 06:41

Go to the police.

slinkymalinkys · 11/11/2022 06:42

Call the police and leave him

Poppyblush · 11/11/2022 06:45

Kick him out and call the police!!

Coconutcream123 · 11/11/2022 06:47

Report to the police and get rid of him. What a disgusting man and completely abnormal.

JuneOsborne · 11/11/2022 06:50

Why do you have anything at all to do with him? If someone behaves like this to you (the more general stuff) you get them out of your life.

Posting the video is a disgusting thing to do. Like pp said, tell the police (there was a thread on here a couple of days ago where the partner threatened to do something similar and the police tokk or incredibly seriously, seized his phone etc etc) and get away from him.

Life is full of joy. You deserve some joy. You won't find it while he is sucking all of the joy out of your life.

I hate him and I have never met him.

BitOutOfPractice · 11/11/2022 06:51

I read your thread with a growing sense of horror.

op he is a nasty nasty piece of work. Please leave him.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 11/11/2022 06:51

Call the police.

Dotcheck · 11/11/2022 06:56

Please report this man, and make him leave.
Dear good, every bit of this was awful

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 11/11/2022 07:05

It’s worrying that you even need to ask “ AIBU?” OP. You have had so many years of this appalling treatment that you accept nearly everything that’s thrown at you. Please don’t accept this!

Rainingoutthere · 11/11/2022 07:08

I can’t believe what I have read.
You need to leave this person 😢😢

MrNook · 11/11/2022 07:18

He's a cheating, drug taking controlling, financially and emotionally and sexually abusive scum bag, why are you with him?

You need to leave him. If you won't do it for you after 16 years then leave for the sake of your children.

Bananalanacake · 11/11/2022 07:20

You need to leave as he is financially controlling.

Divebar2021 · 11/11/2022 07:20

You’re under reacting OP. It’s ALL abusive.

Cosycover · 11/11/2022 07:24

Police right now!

You really need to find your anger asap

Alexandernevermind · 11/11/2022 07:25

I agree you should be going to the police, and make it today. I don't think you are safe. Please also talk to someone like Womens Aid. 🌺

Flowersonthewall6 · 11/11/2022 07:28

From the first paragraph I would leave let alone the rest. I wouldn’t put it past him to actually invite men in and have sex with you for money at this rate. If you can’t do this for yourself, do it for your children. Do you want them growing up thinking this is how relationships should be?

elephantseal · 11/11/2022 07:30

Call the police. Then a lawyer. Sounds like you should have left years ago.

OldReliable · 11/11/2022 07:33

He's emotionally, financially and sexually abusive. There's plenty to go to the police with.

What's the situation with your house? How easy will it be to get him to leave?

FOJN · 11/11/2022 07:34

He took it as far as to give out his number and our location and had been intimately messaging a number of men about me.

There isn't a single example of the behaviour you've described which isn't abusive but this awful man is also putting you in danger.

I also think that HE is a danger to you too. You may think you know him and he would not physically harm you but this man wants to control every aspect of your life and he would lose that control if you left, you need to leave but you need to do that safely.

Plan carefully and quietly, get copies of financial records if you can, find somewhere safe to go, keep any messages or evidence of his abusive behaviour, report to the police and I would think about applying for a restraining order for when you leave.

Tell someone you know and, most importantly, trust about what has been happening.

Please do not underestimate how violently some men react when they lose control of the woman they are abusing.

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/11/2022 07:37

Get your bag and literally walk to the police station. Work out the details of how you will manage later.

Arnaquer · 11/11/2022 07:37

What an absolute c**t.
Go to the Police, go to Women's Aid.
Police will take this seriously believe me.
Screenshot the website.
This is not normal and not acceptable in any way.

NannyOggsWhiskyStash · 11/11/2022 07:44

Omg, he is an abusive twat. Was he always like this? You need to leave him pronto, how is he with the kids? I would not feel comfortable having daughters anywhere near this sleaze. Ugh

LibbyL92 · 11/11/2022 07:44

I would be calling the police ASAP. How disgusting that other people are out there viewing such photos/videos without permission.

that is so incredibly serious. I’m so sorry.
