Lying OH

So my partner and I have been together 8years and we have a 3y/o son. I suspect he is cheating/talking with someone else online, I asked him outright yesterday and he completely denied it but I could tell by how uncomfortable he was and his mannerisms that he was lying but he just wouldn't admit it.
This is not the first time, I have caught him out before, He recently started acting the same way and that's how I knew, not to mention a gut feeling.
If anyone else was in this situation I'd say, don't be a doormat, leave! But it's not someone else it's me and my family. We've always had a positive relationship emotionally and physically, we get on so well and I thought we were so in love but how can we be if he is doing this again.

Not sure the reason for my post, just to get it off my chest I think.

This is not the first time, I have caught him out before,

and there will be another time after this
and so on
and so on

either accept this as your life or leave. It’s dead in the water. I wouldn’t even waste your time and money on counselling

shite environment for your child OP

*We've always had a positive relationship emotionally and physically

despite him cheating on you multiple times in the past?

This is him, this is his behaviour, this is who he is!

He didn’t learn from last time so no longer has the excuse it was a silly mistake, this is now a pattern of behaviour, and he a repeat offender.

You gave him a chance to repair things once already, he’s already had more than he deserves from you.

You have only 2 choices, and they are to either a) bin him because he’s already had his chance, and he’s only used it to further hurt you and your family or b) accept this because if you forgive him again he will do it again.

Sorry I know that’s not nice to hear 💐

So your husband is a lying cheat but in your eyes you have a positive relationship?

As others have said you’ve got 2 choices - leave and have an amicable co parenting relationship or stay and accept he’ll do it time and time again because there’s no consequences

Remember you are teaching your child how people treat each other and what you will accept. You both are your child‘s role models for how adult relationships are being navigated. I wouldn’t stay where I am being disrespected.

No, you haven’t. He’s a cheat.

We get on so well
No he’s a cheat and a liar

I thought we were so in love
Sounds one sided if he keeps cheating

Get rid of him. He’s a liar, a cheat and treats you like a fool.
