He lives in my basement and refuses to leave while messaging call girls and porn stars. We have 4 children. 2 are at home with the youngest 17. The 3 oldest have pretty much disowned him. I guess I only have the divorce option left. I so hoped he would come around but he just avoids everyone except his phone.

Peggy Vaughn, author of the now classic Monogamy Myth, strongly advised couples to leave no stone unturned. My H and I have now clocked easily over 3000 hours of conversation in the last 6 years over his repeated infidelities. However it’s the way we communicated that moved us forward or set us back. Sue Johnson’s Hold Me Tight and John Gottman’s books are excellent guides. If you are a betrayed wife, I would also highly recommend Good Husband, Great Marriage by Robert Alter. It was this book that really helped my H see the light, as he had been somewhat verbally abusive. Good luck to all of you.
