This is a long one, I don’t need advice just to get this out there. I have been with my partner for 13 years. Two children together, a great relationship until about 3/4 years ago. He started drinking and taking cocaine, this became a huge problem lies, money being spent, he would work 5 days a week and only bring in £50 a week, I supported the house and kids on my own. We separated for a couple of weeks start of this year was in the process of him moving back in, getting on great really, he then got a job working away, 10 days at a time.. after 3/4 weeks I seen he had been looking up local escorts. He made a £70 payment to one and still swears blind it was for a video call.. this was on and off for two months chatting to escorts. He signed up to a dating site and I could read the messages he was typing and he wrote them. Asking to meet up and do sexual acts to some women. This broke me I really lost my mind stopped eating all I done was cry. I just felt I couldn’t move on. I started talking to someone else, I moved so fast and had Sex with him. A stranger, I feel so low and disgusting about it. I just can’t believe I done it, I just tried to move on I suppose. I am now back with my long term partner, there is no drugs anymore he has stopped everything back working locally and it’s baby steps but I’m happy to try make a happy relationship with him. He knows about what has happened and he is happy to move on too. As I say I’m just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar position, I just feel guilty, and lonely right now x

I wouldn't blame what you did. It can be awfully lonely when your partner 'cheats' you be it escorts or whatever. It wasn't your fault. Just think of it as an experience and it will remind you of how badly he treated you hence why you had to turn to a stranger.
