PA and Financial Infidelity

Hi, I’m not new to this forum but have only commented a little and read posts every now and then. Long post.

There is one thing I can’t figure out and was hoping others know. We have discussed his PA, ONS (in another city) to triggers.

Financial infidelity: He has spent probably 10k to 15k over last 5 years. I do not believe him on what he has spent and received via cash app, Venmo etc. I’m talking $500 to $1000 spent in one day. He says 30 videos to multiple photos or asks for specific videos. I have his location; he is home every night. Some of these women have an onlyfans I found. 2 women he knew and they confirmed only photos and fantasies and he paid them to talk to him (why he couldn’t come to me I don’t know).

Is what he saying true or is he still hiding the extent of it? Onlyfans is like a $10 subscription. He was on a hookup website adultfriendfinder. He said he found these women on Snapchat mainly. So maybe it is escorts? Idk. Thoughts?

We are going to see a CSAT couples therapist who specializes in infidelity and betrayal. I’m wondering if that’s a safer space because he gets an entire hour by himself to talk to the CSAT. They do a 4 parts of an initial intake which I’m so happy about. We will see if he does the work (more than downloading a porn blocker app as he can delete and readd) as this is a last Hail Mary for me. I’m not spending even another 6 months of him not actually doing something about his PA.

Book Recommendations

I know this post is a bit different than the usual ones, but any book recs (audiobooks even better) that are supportive for the betrayed partner? I’ve listened to “leave a cheater, gain a life” already and am looking for more. It doesn’t have to be a book that says to leave your POS cheating husband (not that I object to those), but really anything about the trauma we endure and healing would be great too.

I’m in IC and will be starting EMDR therapy soon. Proud to say that I’m almost ready to file (mentally it’s taken me about a year and we’ve tried MC) and leave these years (yes years) of betrayal, lying, defensiveness etc. behind. He can be someone else’s problem. Thank you, Next.
