I thought we would be devoted to each other until the end of our lives (we are both in our 60s). A few months after we got married I discovered that my husband was communi- cating with a "hooker" through email. He was asking her to send him porn. He said he would travel to see her, and was flirting with her. I found her phone number in his phone con- tacts. I suspect they were having phone sex. When confronted with the evidence, he said he was just flirting with her to get porn from her. He said there was no phone sex — just the four or five emails that I saw. He begged my forgive- ness and promised that nothing like this would ever happen again. I have no reason to believe he has broken that promise. He is a good man and other than this, he has been a wonderful mate. I was devastated by this breach of trust and have spent the last year trying to cope with my feelings of anger. Am I making too much out of this? Would you consider this cheating? —Broken DEAR BROKEN » I'm not sure I would take this behavior as evidence of cheating, but it is prob- ably evidence of stupidity. You should assume that your husband has likely done this before, and may have (or could still be) corresponding with other people. You should try to determine if he has spent money on this woman. It is possible that your husband fell for a scam, where he was catfished and drawn into a cyber- relationship, where the ultimate goal was to get him to pay for porn. Because of this breach of your trust (not to men- tion this breach of logic), he needs to be transpar- ent about all of his com- munication and finances. You should meet with a marriage counselor, with transparency and healing as your goal. You can recover from this, but he needs to participate. DEAR AMY » I read your column every day. I must say, I was a bit confused by your response to "Con- fused," the young woman asking about who should pay for birth control. Fortu nately , P res iden t Obama made it so this question does not need to be answered anymore. All Affordable Act qualified plans provide for some form of free birth control (pills). If your reader is uninsured, she can visit any Planned Parenthood to obtain free or low-cost birth control. — Informed Reader DEAR INFORMED » Many readers contacted me with this correction. I assumed that "Confused" was either uninsured, or was perhaps covered under insurance that did not cover birth control. I believe this was a question about sharing the responsibility of being sexually active and in a stable relationship with one partner. In a loving partnership, the responsi- bility should be shared.
