First, I'm sorry you are dealing with this. So many of us have similar stories. I'm going on 3.5 years (I think, my mind is not the same LOL). He also promised to cut all ties with the man he was having sex with and delete his profile from the gay hook-up site he was on. That didn't last long. His profile was back up and he's on it every day. I know this because I made a fake profile to keep track. Now he's uploaded some videos of him having sex with another man. Yea, it's that bad. Like Blue Bear said above, if they are seeking out other men for a good time, they are not straight or even bi IMO. It's a hard pill to swallow.

Januceves1..I found out on Jan 1, 2017. I saw a text come in on his phone that I thought was odd and I started snooping. Oh boy, I was in shock. I could not believe what I was reading. I snooped on his work computer and looked at the search history. I went from there. I even created a fake account on a gay hook up site and found his profile. I wanted to die. It took me while..but I finally confronted him and he admitted everything. He said he didn't want to lose me. It's been a long long road, and I just don't think I can start over again. I don't know how to. I know I CAN survive on my own, I just can't take that first step.

It's been a long, LONG time since I've posted anything. I'm still with my GIDH. I was hoping that my secondary business would financially set me free. I have been a travel agent for the past 3.5 years (right at the same time I discovered his other life). The business was circling the drain, then this virus hit. It all but dried up. Now I don't know how I'm going to get out of this mess I'm in. I'll be 60 this month. How do I even start over when things are in the tank and people are losing jobs? 
He still continues to search his gay hook up sites, acts like a 6 year old when things don't go his way and just acts like a fucking asshole. I don't know how we even have friends. If they only knew!!

Hope everyone is doing well through all this quarantine BS. I'm finding the people that I thought were okay, are totally selfish pricks. Sorry for the language and thanks for listening.

Thank you for that quote. It really is absurd what we deal with, isn't it.

Yea, it sucked. Didn't do a thing. Guess I won't expect much more for my 60th next year. If I had a close friend to do something with I would. Maybe I will just go visit my sister up north. She knows nothing (and probably never will). I just wish I still had that 'best friend' to confide in.

So tomorrow is our 25th wedding anniversary. Do you think we will doing anything special? Nope.
I'm sure he'll be outside on the pool deck smoking a cigar and watching the world series while I'll be sitting at my computer trying to get more clients for my failing business. This is my life! This has been my life for a LONG time. No knight is shining armor for me.

After living this life with him for 3 years since disclosure, not getting the affection or having any passion left in my life that I deserve, does this me me damaged beyond repair? I'll be 60 on my next birthday and I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Captive! ... Even though we have no children, this is exactly how I feel...with no way to escape.
