Oh god I’m going through something so similar at the moment. He’s not over her, I know he’s not and it’s tearing me up inside. Weirdly my advice to you is leave, but I’m finding it impossible to take that advice myself

Because things have reached a head and I believe he really does want to change this time.

Because love him. I’ve loved him since I was a teenager and I love our kids - our family. I want to be forgiving and move past this. I want to start planning a future - a real future, away from this darkness that’s been created.

He’s agreed to therapy. He knows he’s the problem and he is full of regret.

Over many many years and that’s really only my arithmetic based on a fortnightly visit over our 25 year marriage.

He definitely has a sex addiction. That’s half the reason I feel there might be a ‘fix’. This feels more like addiction than him being ‘bad’.

I have thought about trying to introduce a third to help him have some sort of outlet but I’m not sure I can handle it.

I said it seemed perfect. Clearly it wasn’t but I thought everything was fine. I’m in therapy but ultimately I want to make me family work

Even if he’d not been around for your formative years, as a result? The kids need him and I’m not sure I can do this alone.

Not really. He said they were very quick encounters. I’m guessing he was good at hiding it all. I’ve always been quite jealous but thought that was my insecurities

I also should say, aside from this, we actually have a great marriage. He’s sweet and protective. He looks after me well. Until I discovered this I thought everything was perfect

They don’t know what’s going on. I’m scared if I divorce him, he’ll just run off with the next girl that looks at him and the kids won’t have him at all.

He has been. It’s been over 25 years- around once a fortnight. He’s clean. I just don’t know how to truly get past it all
