Husband went to brothel says he’s innocent

Husband has admitted he went to a brothel while on a lads holiday and that he didn’t realise it was a brothel and he just sat on the slot machines gambling. Said brothel doesn’t advertise slot machines but after scouring comments online say there are a couple in there. He is outrightly denying doing anything. He’s never cheated before. Says him and his mate just went to gamble. Says there were no women in that room. I want to believe he’s telling the truth but honestly how dumb can I be to stay with him now? Just to add he didn’t tell me I found out he had taken a taxi to the exact location of brothels with nothing else in the vicinity. Anyone else dealt with similar? What would you do? He is quite convincingly denying everything

If you wanted to gamble how would a quick internet search bring up the brothel? Surely you’d be trying to look for a casino or something? He clearly went to check out the brothel and there happened to be slot machines there. It definitely did not happen the other way around.

Now whether he actually slept with someone or not is an entirely different matter

Thankyou all for your responses. Of course I will never truly know what he did with who in there for sure without him telling me but I think the fact that going in there with no regard for how I would feel about it regardless of what he got up to is proof enough that he’s willing to risk hurting me and that’s without actually doing anything. He’s gambling and went to a brothel worst case he’s gambling and shagged someone in a brothel. Either means the end of our marriage because it’s shitty behaviour and i deserve respect. I’m never going to know and therefore I’m never going to trust him again. There is nothing else to do but leave

Spaffing 400 Euros up the wall even gambling is bad enough.

Who goes to a brothel, unless it's for services rendered?

So many men have feet of clay.

What a low bar to set.

Have the MRAs arrived en masse?

He wants you to think we don't have Mecca Bingo (or Empire Casino) in the UK.

RivkaTheBold · 16/07/2024 16:58

Wow. He's an absolute cunt.

Caught red handed and thinks you'll fall for it.

GreyCarpet · 16/07/2024 17:51

But… why would you go to a brothel when there are proper exciting casinos near your hotel?

You wouldn't.

Irishdragon · 16/07/2024 17:59

You don’t really need to ask as you know the answer already !! Get rid, he will do it again and again 😔

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 17:59

I'm sorry to say it but a reasonable proportion of men who go on lads trips, use prostitutes.

The sex industry is part of the reason they go.

I know men who do so on football trips, and who do it on golf trips.

In the case of the golf trips, the men are not just fathers, they are grand-fathers; having sex with women young enough to be their grand-daughters in Portuguese brothels while golfing.

Their wives probably think they are past that/would never do that.

If he's been doing this ..and it looks like he has .. he's probably been doing it on every lads trip he's gone on.
You just happened to catch him this time.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 18:02

If you can go to casinos and places with slots..... You don't choose to go to a place with brothels and make do with a couple of slot machines in the lobby.

Why would you?

Is he going to claim his mates used the prostitutes in the brothel and he somehow couldn't stay behind/elsewhere and meet them later? Bullshit.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 18:04

He’s never cheated before

That you know of.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 18:06

It was honest of him to mention it.

Lol

He was cornered like a rat.

Op knew he'd taken a taxi to a place with brothels and spent 3 hours there.

He didn't mention a thing til she discovered that.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 18:08

He is quite convincingly denying everything

He's lying for his life.

Of course he's convincing.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 18:16

Ultimately he went with one mate but said nether had sex with anyone and that they met a group of lads they didn’t know.

Two blokes got a taxi out to a brothel/group of brothels and spent three hours there, but neither of them used a prostitute - the main function of a brothel - and they just played slot machines and socialised with a group of men they didn't know ..

.... Even though they could do that in a casino/bar/slot place/anywhere else.

And the brothel owners/runners are perfectly happy to host men who don't use prostitutes, don't spend money on them, and just put some money into slot machines and chat to other men?

Oh and your h put hundreds of euro into a slot machine in three hours.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 18:20

samanthablues · 16/07/2024 15:18

If he had sex in exchange of money he would have kept his mouth very tight shut regarding the brothel story, the fact he's telling you is because very probably went there and played with the slot machines while some of his lads got laid. I wouldn't get mad at him but then I wouldn't date such a man either just because I find lad culture very grim and depressing so I stay away from these "lad types".

Edited

He told her nothing. Op found out about the taxi, location and length of stay.

He was forced to offer some explanation.

He's said neither he nor his mate used a prostitute.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 18:23

I’d probably get him to swear on the kids lives that he didn’t do anything or something over the top to see what his reaction was and go from there.

I've lost count of the number of women who've posted on here saying their husbands/partners swore on their kids lives - without even being prompted to - that they weren't cheating.

They were cheating.

You have to understand that lots of people, particularly the cheating, lying ones - don't actually believe in divine power, karma, some greater force that punishes liars & cheaters etc. They think it's a load of BS; so they don't care.

"I never had sexual contact with that woman" was what Bill Clinton said about Monica Lewinsky, in front of an audience of millions, possibly billions. And probably under oath (?)
Apparently he forgot about spunking all over her at the conclusion of a BJ.

Yes. I thought the general rule of thumb is that if a man swears on his children's lives then that means he is guilty of whatever it is he is desperately trying to deny.

thatstakingalongtimetoboil · 16/07/2024 20:07

Would have thought a pub would be the obvious place. Brothel is not. Sorry op get a check.

BouquetGarni224 · 16/07/2024 22:04

Op, brothel/prostitute issue aside .....

( and I think very few people would believe they took a taxi to a brothel/group of brothels without knowing what they were, and inexplicably chose to go out there rather than elsewhere just to drink and play slots when there were plenty of other (closer?) places to do that)

...... It sounds like he has a lot of lads trips, a lot of nights out, and gambles, spending your household money ..while you presumably look after the kids (?)

That's all very far from ideal behaviour in a relationship/family, before we even get onto this unlikely brothel visit story.

sprigatito · 16/07/2024 22:08

I'd tell him three hours gambling is a dealbreaker anyway, so he can pack his shit and get out. He's lying, you know he is.

Yes, apparently men just go to brothels with their buddies for a laugh, bottle it, and go home to their loving wives. That's why the prostitution business is going bust.

Hesatwat · 16/07/2024 12:14

Yes he’s been gambling and I’ve found out about multiple new debts he’s been getting out behind my back. A whole other issue both are bad but it all came out when he went away and he hadn’t been giving me regular money. I checked his emails and went through everything. Rightly or wrongly. I don’t trust him with regard to anything else these days but cheating has always been something I’ve never thought he would engage in.

Why haven't you divorced this prince amongst men already?
