Husband’s secret double life exposed, not sure how to move forward

I have just found out last night my husband of almost 17years together 23 years has been sleeping with men, prostitutes and trans M/F for at least the last 10 years behind . I am utterly devastated. He’s been working away and due to past issues I’ve been on my guard and knew he was acting different so I went through his phone and found he was on a swingers site, read through as many of the messages as I could stand. I don’t know who the hell I’ve been married to. I’ve kicked him out but don’t know where to go from here. We’ve got 3 children 20,14,7 and feel like the oldest should know straight away that his dad’s gone but that I should hold of telling the other 2. I’m at a loss of where to even begin

I can change the locks myself I’ve done it before it’s just a barrel lock. I’ll get to screwfix x

Even better and cheaper then. I've had friends go through similar and the last thing you need on your mind is worrying they'll suddenly appear in the house or when you've been out x

Sadly, I don't believe there were no signs... and regarding his behaviour at home - is it first time he did it?
I would personally have concerns if he is mentally OK - invite someone to stay with you.

Thank you all, for all your support and messages. Kids are in school and I’m having a breakdown whilst they aren’t here to witness it. Meeting a friend at 1 and another this evening so I have some support. I feel like my world imploded at the moment. I’m taking this week off work, I’m a carer and I’m not in the right mind set to be looking after all our amazing oldies x

Virtual hug for you ❤️

My hands all bruised from doing it, I hit it against the sink and must have caught my hand. It’s all a blur. I just felt so violated. Some of the messages he was bragging about not washing after being with a man and then coming back home to me

Oh god ! You poor thing

make sure the eldest two and all his family and friend see those messages and photos of the damage

how dare he put you in so much danger and trash the place

call the police , you have no memory regarding his phone
