Honeypie agony auntPersonally, I would be out of this relationship. He is lying and when he isn't lying he is making up excuse after excuse.

He won't stop, he will just hide it better. Addict or not.

He was not EVEN considering if you wanted to do these 3-some - he figured if he asked enough and pushed JUST enough you would say yes.

I'm WILLING to be this is why his EX-wife left him. She got fed up and found a DECENT guy instead.

Sorry, I could forgive this, but not continue the relationship because the trust is completely gone and the respect is too.

He should be looking for someone who is ALREADY into the whole swinger thing, not trying to "make" you want this to please him.

You two (in my honest opinion) are not compatible sexually.

AuntyEm agony auntWith respect you are absolutely perfect for him...

Vulnerable, trusting, needy, reliable, easily manipulated, sense of decency that wouldn't allow you to believe that he is such a peverted low life, you are also a woman of a certain age, probably lonely and slightly panicky that you won't be able to find someone better and best of all you are forgiving.

You are not alone, there are thousands of women who come out of long marriages and hope to find prince charming again, but end up with some higly dysfunctional creep that some other poor woman has spewed her guts to get rid of.

Takes a while for the shit to float to the top, but as they say, the truth will out and he did pretty good to keep his proclivity for questionable sex under wraps for so long...but now he is shining in all his glory, but you, sweet dear woman are looking for an excuse to forgive and stay...

I'm not gonna warn you where it could all lead because you are a grown woman but whilst you are swimming round in the sea of denial, you might just wanna make sure those rocks of mistrust and deception don't drag you under.

How can I speak so acutely about this...because I have been through a similar situation myself, which, for your information, took three and a half years of my life and and additional two years to recover from.

Good luck.

Honeygirl agony auntHon, the only advice I can give you is to stop all contact with this man.

He sounds like a predator and you will land up doing things just to please HIM.

Just for your info - he said his wife left him for another man - I seriously doubt that - she probably had enough of his cheating and sex addiction.

HE has all these fantasies, and HE wants you to participate, and if you dont participate HE will just find another girl to do them. You are being used and allowing yourself to be used.

As much as you say you love him, you dont you are just in love with whatever character he has acted out to you.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (6 December 2012):

There is a saying that we need to.....take the rough with the smooth. Meaning all things have a bad time and that`s when you are there for someone. Because you cant just be there for the good times. So if he had just developed an illness or sudden financial troubles and you were able to help, you should!

But this is something else. Lying to you, cheating on you, even setting up another guy for a threesome with you, before you had even said yes. He sounds depraved and nasty.

This isnt just seeing him through a rough patch and being there for him. He is basically a sex/porn obsessed manipulator with no conscience, who has wormed his way into your life and is only there trying to groom you for his fantasies. He WILL appear nice, that`s how that type get what they want out of you!

With respect, he probably feels he has identified something vulnerable or needy in your personality and he is home and dry with a few tears, because you wont have the strength of character to give him `the bums rush`.

He has an addiction....yes. To lying, cheating, sex, phone sex and porn. You only have his word for it that he hasnt slept with other women and that might not be true. If he has been on sites talking to them and having phone sex with them, who knows if he hooked up with any in person. I wouldnt set too much store on his word at this point.

I would drop him like a hot potato, you deserve someone decent and this guy is too old to suddenly change now. My guess is, he is enjoying himself way too much and has been this way for many, many years. If a few months with you didnt leave him thinking you were an amazing lady, fear losing you, feel shame for lying to you AND make him clean up his act...well im afraid its never going to happen.

You could try giving him another chance but is it really worth any more of your precious time? I would leave him to it and try to move on as quickly as possible.

Just thank your lucky stars you didnt go along with his fantasies. You would have felt so much worse if you had discovered what he is really all about after you had been pressured and duped into sleeping with other men to feed his depravity.

You deserve so much better. Please dont settle for less because it wont make you happy. His company might have filled a void, he may have been good in bed but someone with no integrity will always let you down. So good luck if you stay with him because you will need it.
