Need help, I’ve been with my husband 7 months, it’s been perfect, and I believe he really loves me and I love him to bits, I’ve done everything to try and make him happy.

He mentioned when we met he sometimes goes for cupping therapy by a Muslim guy, and it’s above board and asked how I would feel if a woman did massages to him and I said it wouldn’t make me feel comfortable, he agreed he wouldn’t allow a man to massage me, a few months after he came hope with cupping marks and said he went to his usual guy, then he’s in the shower and a notification pops up from an Eastern European woman’s name I’ve not heard him mention, I questioned it and he admitted it was a new place, a woman near a site he was working at, I said that’s wasn’t ok to not tell me, he said she was sending him stretches on Watsap because he asked for them, I said that was a bit odd but he showed me the messages.

Months passed and I thought he wasn’t going for anymore massages, our sex life is great and I massage him daily! Massage has always been part of our foreplay and he likes his nipples to be kissed and down below. This week I booked him a surprise massage at a fancy spa for his birthday, then on Thursday I had suspicions when he left site late and sent me a satnav screenshot at a residential address he was driving slowly down, I looked it up and low and behold there was a Polish massage place at a private house, I could smell the oil on him when he came home and confronted him, he freaked out, said I was controlling for accusing him, that night I managed to hack his pin and saw the transactions on his phone, one £50 the one I suspected and one £55 the previous day to a Thai place at a different address where he was was working (he’s a site engineer on the road all day at different sites) I didn’t admit I knew this about the payments I’d seen and tried to give him chance to own up but he just kept lying about it.

That night I got into his iPad and his work watsap and found the whole story, he’s been going regularly to massage places, mainly Thai, some of which also run as ‘hotels’ he swore blind he never would go to backstreet Thai places as they offer happy endings and he said he did that once before he met me and felt disgusted and was only after proper deep tissue massages. I then admitted I had seen it all on his phone and he hit the roof, accused me of being controlling. I’ve since gone on his iPad again after guessing the changed pin and his satnav history, he’s searched or called massage places 27 times in the last 2 months, all different places near the sites he works at, he also showed me multiple payments some of which aren’t even legit names like a woman’s name then ‘beauty’ there was 2 payments to a woman’s name followed by ‘beauty’ registered on company house to a hairdresser in a block of flats in the city centre, I messaged the woman and she said she was a salon but there were massages at a different flat, and I’ve since found out via messaging she is an escort.

I went on his satnav history again and found the address and name of the place, it takes you to a directory of masseuse on a site called ‘deluxe massage’ and there’s pics of beautiful women, one of which looks like a pornstar, in tight dresses showing her rear like a PLT model, it says she does ‘Swedish and relaxation’ massage, I text her but she said to only contact on watsap for full details. She offers happy endings and shower for £120, normal massage is £60, u know he paid £60 after him showing me the payment.

She even sent me his watsap message saying he was after a 30 min sports massage back in feb which I couldn’t believe she went it, he says ‘nothing sexual just sports masssge’ she then sends the sordid prices saying £60 for relaxation massage and £120 for ejaculate where you want and have a shower. He swore blind it was just a massage and she was wearing ‘pyjamas’

I confronted him, he said he’s been to her twice but just for massage, he swore on his daughters life nothing sexual has happened at any of these massage places and he just goes to relax when he’s stressed, he’s spending a small fortune at these places. I told him he has a serious problem he needs to get help with, and kicked him out of my house, he’s gone back to his ex wife’s house where his daughter lives. He’s now blaming me for accusing him and saying I ruined it.

While I was doing the dinner for him and washing his clothes thinking he was working on sites he was also fitting in massages at all these seedy places on his lunch breaks or when finishing work early, some right on my doorstep.

I’m shocked to the core, I don’t know what to do, I’ve not eaten for four days straight, we rang eachother and cried and he asked if I want him to come back and I gave in because I’m weak and needy and he’s been here since and we’ve back and forwarded.

Would anyone put up with this? Could it be innocent? He says if it were sex or extras the payments, but to me £50-£65 is prob enough and we don’t know the massage duration it’s prob 30 min and a HJ or BJ or worse! And there was the one place he’s paid 2 lots of £50 and swore blind they must of charged him twice in error! God I feel so sick and still feel like I don’t want to leave this man! How?!

Update-last night I got all my evidence and confronted him, I asked him 3 questions based on the lies he told me before ‘did you know the escort was a sex worker, did you go after your dad died because you felt so low, did you contact her more than once? He’s swore all of these things to me for days on end, he swore to me there on then on his daughters life that all this was the case; it was a one off innocent mistake because he was distraught and needed a massage and was shocked when he got there and she was in ‘pyjamas’. I calmly told him I had evidence otherwise, I showed him the video she sent me of his phone showing he watsapped her in feb before his dad died, that he knew what she offered because she sent him the full details and even said she didn’t know what a sports masssge was but she can do ‘relaxation massage’ yet he still went along! And that he contacted her feb, july (unfortunately there watsap timer had deleted the July chat! And he also made an outgoing call to her in June, he looked shocked and admitted ok he lied but it was JUST a massage. There’s 3 payments this year £65,£60 and £61.50 and I think they’re all her, one I can link to her address on 1st July; other 2 are random thai sounded names that don’t come up alone, but on both dates he’s also contacted this woman but then again he’s also contacted about 10 different Thai places across the midlands so could be any! And what does it even matter!

I also asked him last night if he ever paid for extras before me and he said yes once he went to a massage place in Derby and payed for a HJ and regretted it. So he’s obviously ok with doing this in these places, so how can I believe he now just keeps his pants on and battles these gorgeous young women off his boner when they are making advances for extra money?

So he’s hid this all from me for 7 months, frequented the most seedy back street Thai massage parlours in the Midlands including one that my friend said is a well known brothel that runs also as a hotel, after saying he would never go to those places and only ever goes to reputable sports masssge places, and put himself in a position where women touch his body and try sell HJs and BJs and probably worse and every times he’s kept on his boxers and said ‘oh no sorry love! I’m married! Just the deep tissue massage please!’ And done this twice monthly! Sometimes 2 times a week! He even had one on a Friday and one on a Monday one week!

Im so broken! I honestly feel like this might kill me, and I’m worried how safe he’s been and if I’m just riddled and my life is over.

He says it was a mistake, won’t happen again, and if I have a big heart I will forgive him.

And this is a man who due to his religion won’t pay 5p a month interest on his savings; but will happy pay £200 a month maybe more to known sex workers.

Please help.

Sports massages are very obviously sports massages. They are not done by people who offer happy endings. They are usually done by physiotherapists or osteopaths or massage therapists in clinical settings. The businesses have names like 'sports injury clinic'. They make it very clear.

Your husband is seeing sex workers on a regular basis and it is pretty obvious he values these massages more than he values your relationship. If he can have both, he will. If he can only have one, it will be the sex workers. He has already shown you that he is willing to risk losing you.

AuntieDolly · 18/09/2026 10:20

Next time you’re massaging and kissing his ‘down below’ just remind yourself where else it has been. Disgusting- you have no reason to stay in a relationship with this utter skank

Stargazer84 · 18/09/2026 06:59

The whole relationship, we’re not officially married its an Islamic Nikah, it holds no legal grounds, no right to anything, just a blessing by an Imam in a mosque.

I own my own house, it’s entirely mine, he’s unofficially lived with me in it since end of June

Great. You're in a good position.

Do not stay with this man. If you do 100% you will regret it. It might be a wrench but just put your head down and get through it.

I promise you, in a matter of months it will all seem like a bad dream.

The most confusing thing aside from the fact that how could he do all this to me? Walk through the door so happy to see me and have me masssge him knowing he’s been to an escort! But the most confusing thing is why do I not want to end it?!

The answer to that is you are still seeing the man you knew - the one you married and have affectionate and loving sex with.
You now know this is not all he is. You will never be able to trust him again and the lack of trust will erode the loving relationship.
Better to bite the bullet now and get out.

The thing is op isn’t even married. She’s known him seven months. This isn’t some decades-long marriage. She can just change the locks today and never see him again. 🤷‍♀️

Don't give him any thought, you're not legally married and have only been dating a very short time. He's not even worth having a conversation with, tell him to get out of your property.

Avoid men until you've worked on your self esteem.

Deadringer · 18/09/2026 11:11

He is a dirty selfish lying bastard. Kick him out ffs

1coconut2coconut3coconut4 · 18/09/2026 11:12

You are 7 months in. It will have been an intense 7 months, bit it is 7 months, not 7 years or 70 years. Very, very recently you lived without him. If you get him out of your house swiftly and block all communication with him you will probably be surprised how quickly you get used to living without him again. It is because you are in the midst of the honeymoon period, that period of intense hormonal attraction, that it probably feels impossible. But i promise you if you get rid of him and properly cut him off - don't see him, don't speak to him - you will be yourself again soon. And find someone who can love you properly not just expect a sex slave.

Cicchetti · 18/09/2026 11:17

I would put serious thought into how you can protect your safety while removing him from your home. Do you have any large male relatives who can help?

The best thing to do, if you can stand it, is to act fast and try never to look back. It is normal to feel confused and to not want things to end, but from the outside, this guy is obviously no good and staying with him will only lead to heartache.

AgentJohnson · 18/09/2026 11:28

Be thankful you aren’t legally married to this poor excuse for a man. How could he? The duplicity is part of the thrill for him, lying to you and getting away with it.

This type of man is very convincing and therefore very dangerous. Get rid immediately, there isn’t a world world where he’s different.

First of all I just want to say how sorry I am that you have had to go through and endure something like this. I know how emotionally and psychologically draining this can be for a woman, and the effect it has on her is much more than the guy doing these things.

Personally speaking, I have been in a very similar situation as you, where I have found out about my husband doing these things before marriage, claiming he will not do them again, only to find out he has just been getting better at hiding it from me. My husband also had similar reasoning as yours, that religion forbids him from doing basic things such as paying interest or taking out loans, but his bank transactions and text message (including deleted chat) history revealed its apparently ok to pay escorts and enquire about such “massages”.

I would like to hope and pray that he is telling the truth to you, but I also want to make you aware that I too fell for these excuses and so-called evidence my husband tried to show me to prove his innocence and took him back in, only to find out that if I later messaged those same numbers to book another appointment with these women, the masseuse would later confirm if he wanted a happy ending like last time (with a 😉 emoji).

You will come across lots of people telling you that you should have left or packed your bags in the first instance, but I know how difficult it actually is especially when you are so emotionally attached to this person. It’s just a shame that some people can’t put their lust and old habits aside to make way for a normal life with their partner.

I feel like its just so common amongst Asian men to be doing these things behind their wives’ backs that no matter how hard they try they just can’t seem to stop.

I just want you to have a good think about everything because each relationship is different and you know your husband more than any of us do, just weigh out the pro’s and con’s and see whether you genuinely think there are chances he can stop these habits.

Because you don’t want to be like me in the future, stuck with a baby, thinking everything is ok and back to normal, only to realise he had just gotten better at hiding things from me.

I always prayed that nobody goes through something so similar to what I have had to experience, and it just broke my heart reading your post. It almost felt like I was reading my own experiences. I just hope and pray that the Almighty guides you and shows you a way out of this, or makes things easier for you and your life ahead.

Sending lots of love and hugs during such a difficult time. Just know that you won’t always feel like you have been made to feel recently. I’m sure you are an excellent wife and have been doing everything you can to try and make things work. But just know that there are better days ahead, whether it’s with your husband and his changed behaviour, or without him.

Naunet · 18/09/2026 12:15

This man has been cheating on you regularly for the entire length of your relationship, he is not going to stop. If you want to stay with him, youre going to have to throw out your self respect and accept him for the lying, cheat, exploitative misogynist he is, and stop lying to yourself that hes a good man. Is that really the life you want?
Also, why on earth did you "marry" him so quickly?

Why do you not want to end it?
At a guess I’d say you’ve been raised by at least one parent who taught you to put them and their feelings above your own. Who taught to that in order to receive love you needed to perform or fulfill a certain role.
You are torn by the thought of your seedy husband being unfaithful but not wanting to step away from your role of the dutiful wife and making sure that everything is all ok.
I’d also maybe wonder whether this very dynamic played out in your parents’ relationship so to you it seems normal and more acceptable than it does to those of us who have done our inner child work and learnt self esteem and to hold boundaries.
You can stay with him for ease and comfort, where you can stay miserable but play happily families for a few more years until you inevitably end up in the exact same position as his ex wife, not being able to tolerate it any more.
Or you can save yourself that heartache and waste of miserable years by kicking his STD-riddling self out of your house now and find your self worth.

You don't want to end it because you're still in love with the man you THOUGHT he was.
The man you've actually got is a disgusting pig who will give you a disease.

Magellancloud · 18/09/2026 12:27

You poor soul.

Nothing worse than a religious hypocrite. The man who prays in the mosque but abuses and cheats on his wife. A lot of them about.

If you're not married, then you need to get this scumbag out of your house now. Get family involved, tell them he's a liar and a nasty cheat and they will help you. Then get STD testing.

And change your locks and watch your back. This type of man doesn't take kindly to a woman ending it.

Are you able to pack his things and have a friend come over whilst the locks are changed?

Thank you so much, I’ve literally done everything to be the best wife, loyal, never left his side, make the home and home, welcoming and warm and do everything around the home. We have a great sex life (or I thought we did) he has a daughter with his ex wife and I’ve been having her over and we’ve been building a relationship. I could have not been any better and I can say that from the heart. He was praying and crying the other night and I think he meant it, but he also told me he gave up all things haram for me and that was also a lie, and the biggest sin of all is to lie so I don’t know how he could do all this and feel he can just pray and be forgiven. It sounds awful for you; I’m so sorry you’ve been through all that too.

He’s a liar.
He lies about everything. He’s not religious he just pretends to be when it suits him. There are a lot like him. They say the don’t drink or smoke or have sex outside marriage - but when no one is watching they do.

Vile man who doesn’t believe in consent. As you wouldn’t have consented in having sex with a man who had been with hookers. And do not believe consent can be bought - some of these women will be abuse victims and trafficked.

Why did he split with his wife? Is he split up or is she just very grateful that he found a second wife so he would keep his dirty body away from her?

For him to run back to her house is very odd.

Just to add - does he expect the women in his life to be ‘good’ religious women?

Full STI testing ASAP. He's risking your sexual and reproductive health by cheating with sex workers and likely they are trafficked women.

You're not legally married, dump him. Get him out of your house.

I know the type sadly.

He will pollute your mind, body and soul. He will never change, do not believe his promises. He needs to man up and leave you to get on and meet a faithful, honest man and he needs to speak with his Imam, stop this behaviour and get counselling. But NOT under your roof.

I also feel terribly sorry for his daughter.

These men will be men, they walk amongst us parading as decent family men and religious but in truth they are anything but. Glad you have found out. You need to toughen up though.

Remember in the Quran what it tells us about faithful men are for faithful women. Sadly this man is not a truly faithful one and he needs to remove his sin from your life... and sadly his daughter's. Now you know why he was divorced.

@Stargazer84 Could it be innocent?

No.

He says if it were sex or extras the payments, but to me £50-£65 is prob enough

Though no one knows what he's giving them as cash in hand, which won't show up in his payment history.

I am sorry Op but it’s probably taken you longer to write that than it would me to pack and be out the door.

He’s a shit shit man !

Exactly this

There are thousands of reputable massage places that offer no additional 'services'. He's choosing ones that do for a reason.

OP, at 7 months you barely know this man. And it hasn't been perfect for that time, he's been cheating on you with sex workers from the get go. He doesn't love you, I'm sure that's hard to hear but he clearly doesn't (and isn't worth your love anyway).

Show him the door, thank your lucky stars you're not legally married and it's your house, and move on.

Surely it would show as cash withdrawals though when he showed me his banking?
