My husband had a gay sexual encounter - 07/13/15 04:06 PM
I learned from my husband that he corresponded with men about sex on CraigsList. To be expected, it led to a meeting. He confessed to meeting a man (one man) four times for sex. It ended a few months ago by his own choice. I think you can imagine where I may be in all of this.
I believe that he has been honest. He has given up his computer and smartphone. He says that he'll stay off the grid indefinitely. He's also expressed remorse and a willingness to undergo therapy for sex addiction.
He says that he didn't do it maliciously. Rather it was compulsive behavior. He knew it was wrong, but says he couldn't help himself.
We've been married 17 years. He says this is his only infidelity. The sucky thing about all of this is that we have a great life. We're best friends. We enjoy each other's company. In every other respect, it's been a good life.
We're still together, but in separate bedrooms. I'm so dumbstruck by everything. Stupid as it sounds, I still love him. I'm repulsed by what he did. But at this point, I'm taking it day-by-day. I told him that if I couldn't handle it anymore, I would bail.
I would love anyone's perspective and advice.
