Feeling Disrespected and Heartbroken
Relationship Stress / by franks2020

...See more I (44 year old woman), have been with my husband (41 year old male) for almost 12 years, married for 6 of those 12. My husband has recently been on alot of different social media apps and I have also caught him on dating sites. On social media he presents himself as happily married but then he receives messages from these 18 -22 year old women and proceeds to interact with them knowing they are only messaging for 1 reason, he does this behind my back trying to hide it. Messages are flirtatious and end up being sexual if he keeps messaging them. The dating sites were worse because it is only sexual and he was telling this 21 year old all the sexual things he couldn't wait to do to her the very next day, I guess they were supposed to meet the next day and have sex all day. I can't understand how he can sit next to me and act like he loves me and only wants to be with me and talk to young women that are the same age as our oldest daughter about meeting up and having sex. I believe the only reason he hasn't been able to meet them or maybe he has met up with some, is because I bust him out on it before he can. We both work the same job, he used to help me around the house and now that's 100% me even when he knows I'm just as tired as he is if not more because I work, cook the meals, clean and we have 3 kids. He gets off work, sits down and gets to relax and go on his phone to do whatever he wants to make himself happy while I am doing everything for us and the kids. He could be helping me and trying to show me he loves me like he used to. The only time I seem to be useful is when he wants sex and it's everyday, multiple times a day most of the time. The problem with that is when we are having sex I can't stop thinking he is probably imagining someone he was just lusting over. Does anyone else have these issues in their marriage/relationship? Can this be fixed or am I getting left for the younger woman soon?
