I've destroyed a perfect marriage over 10 years ago and continued to destroy it for years. Back in 2003 I had a one time sexual encounter, in my office. Why, I blamed the internet at the time. I got online in a chat room which at first seemed inesent, being just people hanging out chatting about anything. Soon people started going to another site and I followed. This turned into a more sexual site filled with innuendos and gatherings( I never attended) but was clearly not for happily married people. I stayed and started to engage in innuendos and started conversations with other women. They found me funny and witty and this ony made me get to now them. This turned into me getting a woman to my office and we had sex. I never thought twice about doing it which still haunts me as to why. How low of a person am I. I stopped working there and worked conservative to home on this later and didn't get online for years, just didn't seem important anymore. Year 2008 comes along and I start talking to a woman that's been coming into my work place. She smiles pays attention to me and poof I'm off to the races. I set up a yahoo account and find out she has one and we exchange emails and start IM each other. Soon it's becoming sexual in nature and we start an affair that lasts almost a year. She's single lives with her daughter(grown never home) and I see her 2-3 times a month.
Now my BS has no idea because she would have never realized I coud do such a thing. I blamed her for everything from me having to do everything at home, for her, this and that. She was in pain from back issues and I'm blaming her for being lazy. I'm blaming her for not helping with dinner, laundry and cleaning. Thinking she is just lazy and could care less about these things because "hey, he'll do them". We horrible arguments around these things and I felt nothing ever changed. I'm not sure if this was my reason for the affairs or I'm just a cold hearted monster.
My BS goes away to plan a wedding, out of state, and I get online and start a second affair. Online I again blamed my wife and I was the poor husband doing everything at home. I'm texting both women 100 of times a day ranging from the "how's your day" to sexual texts. Even while in another state at my daughters wedding I'm texting on of them.
I'm stil getting online once in a while in chat rooms looking. By fall 2009 I have a one time encounter with someone. Weeks later I'm on that same site and find another women I start an affair with while still with the other 2.
At home I'm getting home from work, sometimes texting while in the driveway, before coming in. Stil doing my "chores" and going about life. My BS and I aren't having sex much at all but I still felt having a marriage. We went on trips, getaways and family time.
Still getting online I find someone near my home town and start texting and webcam with her. I'm doing sexual things on camera. My BS would come home and I'd close down cam and tell her I just came home to get something for work and leave. Sometimes I'd come home and leave before BS and she would never know.
Three ongoing affairs, doing things on cam and still being home with BS. All this time I'm treating these affairs with no emotional involvement. I saw it as only sexual since these were only sexua encounters. We never met outside their place and sex was the only goal. That's a cold hearted monster.
About 3 weeks before Christmas 2009, while I'm at work, AP2 calls our house and tells BS I'm cheating. My BS calls me and I start lieing, " who" "I don't now anyone with that name" ...
I do come home and slowly admit the affair with AP2 and online cam person. However, i trickle the truth out like a eye dropper. I have no contact again with anyone after that call. Months to tell the truth and probably longer.
I have been in IC and MC but not sure of the results.
Jump to July 2012 and we renew our vows on the beach while on vacation. It was a beautiful thing.
Jump ahead to November and someone that works for our company I start texting. At first it's truly company related but we continue to text and it becomes another affair, AP5. Worse yet it becomes emotional not sexual. Feelings between us grow to the degree that I write a horrible, to BS, emai to AP5 that proclaims my love and wish to start a life with AP5 and kids. Even gets more hurtful saying I haven't loved anyone since college, before BS.
BS finds email and our life crashes again, in spring 2013. It ends with AP5 after I leave a VM, ending it and proclaiming my love for BS.
I post this not to claim prize for worst WH ever, that's a given, but to ask your opinions on what is wrong with me. My BS needs me to take responsibility for what I've done. I know what I did is unforgettable and unforgivable. I continue to not do enough. I don't do simple things BS asks of me. This post took weeks for me to do after she asked and asked.
BS has given me a million chances( I kid you not) and I continue to blow each one. No reading, no posts, no IC, no responsibility, no remorse and no acts of love.
While this is horrible of me I'm lost on what to do. Now my small list of do's are flowers(almost never letting a vase I bought in 2009 to go empty) some cards, romantic getaways(mostly at BS request).
Worst yet is when these horrible affairs are brought up ill shut down not talk for days get defensive. All the wrong things but I continue to do it even after promises not to. Each time i promise to not shut down I do mean it at the time but once it comes up I shut down.
Is all lost? Any saving grace? Any hope? Any future?
Believe me, all comments welcome from WS and BS
