Is hubby cheating

My hubby retired at 53 a few years ago with a decent pension I’m still working part time. He’s been amazing by doing all the washing, drying, some cleaning and cooking. He walks a lot and clay pigeon shoots a couple of days a week. For the last 6 months he’s chosen to sleep in the spare room, we are both bad sleepers and accepted this and secretly enjoy having a bed to myself, as I do get up early for work. Our sex life had dwindled over the years and he says he struggles to maintain an erection but I discovered he’d been visiting porn sites daily for months, I was furious and he begged my forgiveness and promised me he wouldn’t do it again. I’ve checked history on the computer and it’s all clean now or he covers his tracks! The reason I’m saying all this is I came home from work to my husband who’d just showered as he’d been chopping wood, in the bathroom in the bath was 2 very long black hairs, I’m blonde/gray, I clean the bathroom often and nobody uses it apart from me and my husband! Don’t know how to deal with this! ??

I would save the hairs as already suggested and bide my time. Keep things as normal as possible, then you need to go homesick from work giving him no prior warning but this would have to be on a day that you know he's going to be home. If he is up to mischief it's possible you may catch him. If he's atome alone, still maintain you feel unwell and let him pamper you, on the other hand if our catch him in the act..............well you will at least know where you stand!

Is there someone you both no who has black hair, Make something up like there was a woman at the door she had black hair and when I answered she was sorry but she was looking for someone , if he asks questions about who ,Make up a story of you own

he begged my forgiveness and promised me he wouldn’t do it again

If you have no sex life and sleep in separate rooms, why should he have to "beg for forgiveness" when he resorts to watching some porn ? Most men would do that if they had no other sexual activity happening at home.

You say you were relieved to sleep in separate beds - maybe the same doesn't apply to him. He might have chosen to sleep separately for other reasons , ie he might need to masturbate since he has no other sex outlet. I'd suggest that if you don't want him using porn, and you're happy to sleep separately, you are asking for trouble.

The hairs might be wood fibres or from wherever the wood was sourced.
Two options.
1) Say nothing unless you want an unpleasant atmosphere and/or separation.
2) Have it out with him in a calm and collected manner, not all guns blazing.
Many men watch porn but it doesn't signify that they're having affairs. It's just what some people of both sexes do.
Could you suggest one night a week and a little blue 'aid'?
If you go about it in a non-accusatory way, he might see it as an opportunity to fulfil his waning desires, rather than watching other people do it.
I hope it works out for you.

If you really want to know, book a day or two off work but don’t tell him. Go out as normal but park your car where you spot any visitors to your house. Or turn up unexpectedly for some reason - pretend you weren’t feeling well so finished work early.
Other option is to surprise him by saying you are going to join him on his walk/ shoot. Preferably ensure he hasn’t got his phone with him, or keep a close eye on it. Best if he “loses” it before you go and you “find” it when back afterwards. Then if it is a cover for a secret tryst you’ve got more chance of finding out. Does he hide his phone? Has he got a code on it or are you allowed to use it?
Of course you must think what you will do if your suspicions are confirmed.

Vix51 Perhaps if you dye your hair black there would be no need for further suspicions.
A very sad first post.
