Caught Him

So my (soon to be former) fiance got a new ipad.  He downloaded a bunch of cool apps including Craigslist.  I knew his log-on since we don't hide things from each other and are totally open (so I thought). Yesterday I tried logging on to his CL account and lo and behold the password has changed along with his email password.  He also has other email accounts he supposedly doesn't use.  I had to work 12 hours yesterday and when I came home yesterday he had cleaned the house, fixed a few things, and made a candlelight dinner.  He's never done this and my gut told me he was overcompensating for something bad. I snooped in his iPad and found his internet history.  Full of St. Louis (where we live) and Los Angeles CL ads he's checked out.  They were for m4t, and dom/sub girls in our area!!!!!  I don't know if he has an ad out or has responded but I was sickened!!!!!  To me this is cheating!!!!! He woke up this morning screaming about our puppy waking him up and said he wanted to get rid of her.  I want him gone now but I have a few hurdles and need help on how to overcome them.  The first being we're going on a trip to see my best friend in Maine tomorrow via plane.  If I could get his money back for the flight I paid for I'd do it in a heartbeat! The second is we live together.  Right now he doesn't work or do anything except troll for men and women.  If I kick him out (which is my plan) I don't know where he'd go or what to do if he won't move.  I don't want any criticizing, just help please:)

Re: Caught Him

  • Are you sure he wasn't just checking that stuff out out of boredom? He's home all day, not working- it just sounds like something I would do- set up a useless email account to check out the crazy, pervy things on Craigslist just for the jaw dropping entertainment factor.

    Just a thought, but you might want to be sure of his intentions before you go off the deep end here. Though I can certainly see why you would be upset.
  • That could be possible however I found old emails before we were together of him trading emails and pics with transvestite sand young girls wanting to meet up for s*x.
  • Yeah, alright. That's pretty damn gross.

    Don't take him on the trip. Give him that time to move out.
  • I wouldn't take him on the trip.  You could try to sell it (but not make a profit on it because that's illegal) but otherwise just forget about the money you spent on the ticket for him.  I would break up with him and kick him out of your apartment/house.  It is not your concern where he goes or what happens to him.  He's a big boy, he can take care of himself.

  • Okay, I just saw your other thread.  His name isn't even on the house.  Just tell him to get the hell out of your house and never contact you again.

  • Yeah I wouldn't be too worried about where he goes after you kick him out.
  • I thought you said you got rid of him.

    Anyways, take the loss on the tickets and kick him out of the house.

    The faster you move the better off you will be.

    You won't have much time to internalize what you saw/found out. And there will be less said by him that will get into the mix; you know he's going to lie.

    What to do:

    Protect your assets and property and money --- make sure he cannot get at them
    See an attorney if you have kids or property together or are involved in a dual ownership for something
    Get tested --- you have no assurance he didn't have sex with these individuals

    And when all is ready, go. 

    Call the police if he does not leave. Maybe that will work.


  • We had been going to therapy for a few weeks regarding his drinking, depression, PTSD, etc.  My role was just supporting him and things had gotten much better until I saw this.  I just can't see myself going to Maine with this man.  Thank you for suggesting I get tested.  I'm so glad we have nothing shared as far as property, assets, and money goes so he can just GTFO of my house.
  • I'm sorry, this sounds awful. Don't go on the trip, it's not worth the money and stress. Don't listen to excuses and get him out of there. It's terrible that's he's been abusing your emotional and financial support to have time to look for sex online. He sounds like a bundle of issues, and you don't need that. Good luck, I hope it goes as smoothly as possible.
  • I thought you had already kicked this d-bag to the curb. Anyway, start eviction proceedings immediately. Once he is evicted, you can call the police if he won't leave. Who cares where he goes.

    Maybe I'm paranoid, but I would NOT leave on a trip and tell him to move out while you're away. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.  Make sure that he is monitored while he get's his shit out.

    I second this!
  • Sounds like the Man has to much time on his hands. it seems like you're at a point where you're done. If he isn't contributing to the relationship he needs to go.
  • You should find out what your responsibility is here legally. You might have to give him thirty days notice. 

    Honestly, I think I'd go on the trip with him. For one, I don't want that assh*le in my house while I'm away, either before kicking him out or after. 

    As for where he's gonna go, let one his dominatrix transvestites take him in. Not your problem.

    Is he also going to AA and does he have a sponsor there and/or is he seeing a drug and alcohol counselor?

    If he is not and he is drinking  --- or claims he's quit --- leave him based on the fact he is a drunk.

    A drunk is no candidate for marriage. Give him the boot.

    And if you don't, get yourself to AlAnon. You need it for support.
