Hi wondering 89 . I know exactly where your coming from as this is the way my husband has been . I seperated from him immediately when I found out what he had been doing , it took me 5 days to get him to leave and he only left when I said if you don't leave I will ring the police and tell them your being aggressive ( I just couldn't bare to be in the same house as him or look at him ) he has cried pleaded and done everything you can think of to get me to take him back, promises of holidays and even a new house , says he loves me and is devastated and is acting devestated , I started seeing a guy and my husband started stalking me and being absolutely enraged with jealousy, I thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown ,  kept ringing and texting asking me if I loved this guy and trying to pry information out of me like how many times I see this guy and asking me if I had slept with him , all the time enraged with jealousy ,came round to the house and stood in my kitcjin crying saying he doesn't know why he did it , will never ever ever do it again , is distgusted at himself , has only done it a few times , loves women and isn't gay and not even bisexual , tells me I'm making mountains out of molehills and isn't as bad or as much as what I'm saying it is , is all in my head and I always make things bigger than what they are, loved bombed me like you wouldn't believe . The thing is that from the start although I had only seen a couple of appointments he had made at a gay massage place ( which he said he never went to but I didn't believe that of course) I just knew there was more to find out. ( I had never ever suspected him of sane sex attraction as he is the least gay person as a man and he had never ever made me think of him in that way . This has been going on for 7 months now. I have never changed my mind from day one that our marriage was over although I loved him very much and was devestated that our fantastic life together was over , I was still attracted

My ex called me a horrible person for telling my family and friends, I said to him what you have done is much much worse than me telling people and you are a way more horrible person for doing that behind my back for 6 years lol 😂 Couldn't believe his cheek and I said I'm not going to lie to my family and friends for the reason for us breaking up , you had no loyalty to me and now I've got non to you

Count , I told my parents and the rest of my family the day I found out as I knew there was no talking about what I found out ,as the evidence was in front of my eyes and it was over for me from the minute I found out ,going for gay massage and watching gay porn is what I found out) but I suspect much more , I'm so glad I told them straight away because of the support they gave me , I kicked him out of the house , wouldn't go for 4 days but before he went I had binned all our wedding albums and binned every card and every sentimental thing he had ever bought me , took every picture down of him and they went in the bin aswell. I did this for me because I knew he would never be a part of my life again and day one was the beginning of starting a new life without him. I had bad days but never went down into the depths of depression because I wSnt going to let him do that to me , it's 4 months now and I do miss him sometimes but never regretted my decision although it was very very hard wen he was begging me and crying but I just thought , NO I'm just gonner get on with my life and these painful thoughts will eventually fade into a nothing , but yeh I think what the others say of telling your family is so good because you have the support and I didn't want to keep his secret for him , I had no reason too. If you think your family would be a good support it's best to tell them obviously depending on if they will be a support for you

I've already asked him all those things scrupulous while he was begging me to give him a chance and that he was sorry and was not gay and loved me 😫 I kicked him out the day I found out about his massage parlours ( took him 4 days before he did go after me saying I'd call the cops if he didn't and tell them he was being abusive ) I only knew about him going to two massage parlours ( saw the emails) andcwatching gay porn , that was all the proof I needed for my marriage to be over , any excuse about it only being those two times and nothing else just went in my ear and out the other , I have no proof of any anything else but I don't need it as I know or ( think he is lying) and even if it was only 2 times then that is 2 times too many for me , and I did love him very much and was still very attracted to him so it wasn't an easy thing for me too do but I've never changed my mind in these last 3 months and I never will. Only agreed once to see him as he wanted to talk but my answer was still the same. No contact now and I'm getting on with life and hopefully sooner rather than later he will be a distant memory

One of the things my ex GID said( one of his pathetic excuses)  is I think I'm a sex addict , I said your not a sex addict if you were a sex addict you'd be wanting sex all the time with me  aswell and you never want sex and one of his other excuses was ( it was just easy sex) I said well why not go to females for your sexual  massages and there's lots of female prostitutes out there , what a load of crap some of his excuses , must think I was born yesterday . Oh yes that book is an absolute load of crap, it would just make the men reading it think yeh I'm not gay or even bi and it's ok to do what I'm doing and make excuses for themselves, my husband thought he'd been reborn after reading it , I could tell by his voice on the phone , he said I'm not gay or even bi read the book it will tell you , I said I have read it and it's a load of crap , if your having sex with men you are at the very least bisexual and he's like oh so you know better than a psychologist , honestly if you havnt read it dont bother it will make your blood boil it's the biggest load of cods wollop I've ever read

Yes lots of our story's are the same. It was only when I joined this forum and started reading others story's and I thought oh my god these story's and the way there husbands have been is like a bloody mirror image. What I first found out was he had made appointment for gay massage and then I started digging and saw he'd been watching gay porn and sawxall the searches for gay stuff but he denied and said he'd just been twice but I didn't believe it and even if it was twice ( which is rubbish) it'd still be twice too many. I still don't really know what he has done but the stuff I saw was enough for me. It's so so hard because your brain doesn't want to believe it even though deep down you know .

Has anybody read the book called is my husband gay straight or bisexual ?? My GID husband sent it to me and said please read it , it will show you that I'm not gay or even bi . I did read it and it's a load of absolute rubbish. The guy who wrote the book says just because your husband has sex with men doesn't mean he is gay or bi . Just makes excuses for married men to be having sex with other men. It actually really annoyed me reading it and it made my husband feel like ahhh I'm not gay or bi because this guy says all this. I think the book is damaging and a load of crap. My husband said , I wish I would have read the book a long time ago because I've woke up this morning like a new person and I'm not gay or bi and now I understand myself

Yes Abby , the part about them going on to date other women. My ex is already trying to do that. I know he will do his best to get into a relationship with a women because he is in complete denial and also he will want to show all my family his family and friends that I've told that see it's her making it up, I'm not gay , I like women. I can't believe some of the story's on her it's like I'm reading about my life and relationship with my husband , they all seem to do and say the same things and the sex side of it that they couldn't keep erection and interested in sex at start of relationship but it wains off and secret phones and gas lighting, god the list is endless , Christ I am so so glad I saw that first email to a gay massage place and dug deeper to find out because I just knew that something was off , but got the shock of my life when I went into his search history going back 8 years and all the stuff I saw , gay porn every day and searches for gay saunas , gay bars , etc , couldn't believe my eyes just how bad it was. He was the least person in the world I thought would be that way
