A female reader, anonymous, writes (4 September 2012):

own up to your snooping and apologize for that but then confront him with what you found out. Tell him that if he doesn't stop this you will leave him.

And then you're going to have to be prepared to leave him if he doesn't change because there's an equal chance he won't change, in which case there is nothing you can do to make him, all you can do is protect yourself by acknowledging the relationship is not meant to be and move on. too many people waste years or decades of their life waiting around for their partners to quit their hurtful behavior. but continuing to stick around when your partner is still doing hurtful things, shows them that they can continue doing it since you're still there tolerating it no matter how much you may complain. if something really is intolerable to you, you have to show it by leaving for good if it continues. if you need to end this relationship and move on, better to do it sooner rather than let it drag out indefinitely.

Well this just throws a whole new ingredient into the mix now doesn't it.

I think you ought to tell him you've found out about his little secrets, he may probably get up and walk and say you're out of order for snooping, but from the looks of it he was planning to do that anyway.

Doesn't sound like he wants to sort these issues out with you, but rather he'd run off instead. That says a lot about his commitment or lack of towards you.

And this is the guy you plan to marry?

He's not husband material.
