Hi,   we has been married for 17 yrs. 

I love the husband I have at home, always attentive to my needs, never come home late or slept outside, great father, great provider, always taking me to  yearly honeymoon trips, cruises, concerts, etc, etc,.   There is nothing I can ask him that he doesnt give me.   BUT with the flaw that he can‘t  (or doesn‘t want) to control his urge to flirt with other fems  online and offline.

The worst part of the only flaw I see on him, is that  everytime I think  we are happy and  doing fine in our marriage ;  WHAM!  I found he has been flirting online,  accepting web cams invites, giving his work cell number, inviting them to meet or lunch.  

.....

The first time I felt betrayed was  3 yrs  after we started to live together,  there were no computers back then,  but he used to use the phone. Calling fem names from the white pages to see if any of them will answer his favorite  introductory line : "Will you like to share your sexual fantasy with me"...  Till one day a lady called back  to talk with the owner of the house (this was like at 10pm) I Saw my husband face turn white like a ghost and it was there when I noticed something wasnt right. He said it was a telemarketer, but telemarketers dont call at 10pm at night so I pull the phone out of his hands and talked to the lady who told me she received a sexual phone call from our number and she recited  hubbys favorite introductory line to the T...  I Was in disbelief...   And then the  cyle of anger, deception, betrayal, forgiveness and start all over again began...

Then 3 yrs later  the computers appeared.  And what was difficult for him in the past was now  so accesible and easy..  I Still remember the second time I felt betrayed... 1 day after we got legally married  I found he was seeing other females he met thru the internet.  Even found emails sent and received with coments like "I love your kisses"  "I cant wait to eat you all",  "your last day as a single man"  etc ect.  I was in such rage, I wanted to kill him but again I forgave him  after his promises of never do the same again...

He use to do this during working hours. His work computer is his main tool in order to contact other females.  He seek the members directory, type in , females  near his work zip code area,  sent them an IM to start a conversation, then exchange of pics (some x rated),  then exchange of phone numbers, then invitations to meet or lunch and then  God only  knows what else.... till I find what he is doing

Then,  We finally moved to our new house.. finally a house of our own.  I was so happy decorating and gardening in our new home (I am a housewife now) waiting for him to come back from work , taking off his shoes, bringing him food , giving him back rubs, massages,  great sex (sex has always been great between us)  He cant deny I treat him like a king.... and then WHAM again... I found a receit of a lunch at a restaurant  he has never taken me to.   I asked him and he said   "Oh that was me and my son the other day"...Later on  I found out his son has never been to that restaurant before. I confronted him about it and he admitted me taking a female he met while his company was doing work in the area.  (again he denied having sex with the fem)

And now  like a month ago... I found he was doing the online, offline meeting thing again... I wasnt even thinking on anything like that when the first hunch feeling arised... I took a peek to his profile and there they were his "buddies"  all of them females... My stomach turned upside down, a sick feeling invaded my soul and I called him, and  I told  him : For the sake of our marriage  you better give me all the passwords  of your onlines accounts NOW...

First he was hesitant but then he gave me the passwords ,  good enough for me to find all what I was looking for and more.. and the passwords of the web sites he was subcribed to  I got them by clicking on "forget password" and using his main email address to get the mail to set a new pass word.  I became an online private investigator!  I wanted to know it all!  even if knowing it all will cause me more heartache.  And I found, I found so many names, phone numbers, emails, conversations he had stupidly saved.  Even paid subcriptions to a web site to find "booty calls"...

I printed out everything and put it all in a folder because this time I am not willing to forgive that easy.   I confronted him with all what I have found and again he didnt denied his wrong doings, having been flriting and meeting with females during working hours... later that week at   night we were watching tv and all of the sudden his cell phone rang...he put it on speaker so I can listen.. a bunch of kids in the other end saying "hello" "whos this"?  till one of the little ones said" mommy mommy" and they cut the phone call.. I immediately got suspicious and dialed back.  A fem answered the phone and I asked her how she got a hold of my husband cellphone number... She admitted to have met him online and that they had call eachother but "we havent talked in weeks"... she said..

I dont look to find these things, they come to me like if God were wanting me to find them.  The more I pray to God for enlightning the more stuff I find.   I dont know if God want me to see that he hasnt done anything "mayor" or if God is showing me all this for me to grow balls  and divorce him because  he is not going to change.  

Even when my husband has never denied his wrong doings when confronted, he claims  to have never had sex with another woman besides me.(thing I highly doubt unless he takes a polygraph test)   That yes, he seeks these females but at the moment he feels things are getting out of hands, he stop.    He even confessed to me that he thinks he is not doing anything wrong because he is not having sex with them.   BUT when I turn the tables and I ask him if he will put up with me doing the same things..  HE cant even think about it.. He couldnt bear the thought of me doing the same.  How conveniently, he can do it, but I cant?? ... I felt like punching his face I swear!

The mixed feelings rollercoaster I go throught everytime this happen in our marriage  has been  taking a toll on me.  I been forgiving  him for the longest for the same behavior  but this time  something is different in me.  

I feel  He takes me to heaven in his wings filled of love and make me believe love exist , to later  let me fall all alone  in the most obscure and endless pitfall... 

 The feeling I cant overcome this time is that I can‘t (or do not want) to trust him again,  due to the fear  that he will  go back to the same behavior once he feels I am  OK... I am afraid that if I give him one more chance without  taking action  to prevent this from  happen again , I will end up  riding the rollercoaster of  emotions that has been damaging my life  for the past 17 yrs.

I told him  that he will need to seek help from  a psycology and marriage counseling  if he wants to really show me he is willing to save our marriage.   I even suggested for him to take a poligraph test  because I still feel he hasnt been totally honest with me.   He agree to all, but havent done anything towards it, he is expecting me to make the appointments...

And when I say taking action means , doing something I havent done before...like:  

I already  made him call his boss to change his working cell number  and I feel very very tempted to have a private meeting with his boss (which we know for over 13 yrs) to talk about my husband behavior while he is working.  Im pretty sure his boss doesnt pay him the salary he pays him for him to be flirting or cheating on me.   I will  request copies of  his cell phone monthly statement to be mailed to our house every month  and permission to install a monitoring software on hubbys computer so I can monitor his activities  online.   I havent done this yet,  because I still weighting the pros and the cons of doing something like this.  I know none of this will guarantee me he will stop his flirting ways  but making it harder for him is a start.  

Should talk to his boss about this?    I  cant deny I love my husband like I have never loved before but I cant deny his behavior has been  killing the love I have for him..

I totally feel and understand your pain.  I just found out that my husaband is having an affair and I feel violated.

But I also know that now I‘m in charge.  He has to earn me back with hard work and there‘s no guarantee that it will pay off.

I understand about loving your husband, but the person that you need to love the most is yourself.  My suggestion is to truly spend some time thinking -- would I be better off without him?  Be strong and be good to yourself.

Sorry to say, but it doesn‘t sound like he‘s just ‘flirting‘, he‘s out right cheating.
I don‘t think it would be a good idea to monitor  him or make it harder for him. You having him on a short leash won‘t make you feel better... well, i doubt it. To me, if i have to be on my guy all the time to get him to not cheat is a very awful feeling. I would want him to WANT to be faithful because I‘m important to him, and would love for him to see that, not having to force it on him.
You could try counseling if you can bring yourself to put yourself on the line again. Chances are he‘s never going to change. It‘s been 17 years of the same behavior. Haven‘t you had enough already?

I myself am struggling with trust issues, although mine aren‘t of the same nature as  yours. I feel like once trust is gone, it‘s very difficult to regain it and have a good relationship.

You need to redefine infidelity and so does he. You need to set up couples counseling. This is a deeper issue than mere flirting since he does it so intensely and consistently. There are bigger issues here.I‘m not sure I would go to his boss unless he refuses to go to counseling. Even then, it might backfire. You need to decide what YOU NEED and then demand it. But he needs to hear it outside of your relationship by a professional that this isn‘t flirting, it‘s infidelity.
