You say you are his carer - if it were me in your place, I'd turf him out and let him either go into a home or let him arrange paid carers to help him.

Why would you stay with this apology for a man?

Think I would disable the broadband and Chuck the camcorder in the bin

I don’t know what to think about this really. Is it a newly discovered thing, or has it been going on for a while? Do you love him despite this? Maybe it’s time for a parting of the ways, but could you try to talk it through first? Do you want to? It sounds like you could easily have your own life, separate from him. Hope you can move forward with this.

Good grief. I feel dirty reading this, let alone living with it.do you want to stay with him?

My OH is 78 years old and is partially disabled. I am his carer.
For the last few months he has been visiting porn sites on the internet and spends several hours a day oggling at ladies showing off their 'bits'. He often stays up into the early hours looking at this stuff.
He is on certain dating sites and gets hundreds of e.mails in every day, again from females flaunting their wares.
Yesterday I discovered that he has been writing to one of them telling her about himself and giving his real name, photograph etc and I am afraid he is leaving himself open to blackmail.
Also I discovered that he has been filming himself, on a camcorder not online - masturbating.

I am disgusted with his behaviour.
Any suggestions as to the way forward would be welcome. Incidentally I am a lot younger than him and still working.
