Chat lines

i have found out that my partner has been ringing male chatline ( im female and he is male) he said this is an ongoing problem he had many years before we met, he sits on the phone for an hour at a time listening to messages other males have left on a gay chatline number, he admitted that he has left message on numerous occations saying who he is. he has also chatted on a one to one with other males and got thier numbers, he rings them and hangs up, he says he gets a buzz out of it as he thinks he is being a tease but that it also makes him feel physically sick and he thinks it is wrong for him to be riniging them but cant help it when he is on his own. he says he has never met anybody and wouldnt, he says he isnt gay or bisexual. his answer to this is that he gets lonely when he is on his own, he does not like not being around people. he wants to get help, i dont know what to do, i feel like he has been very deceatfull and i cannot trust him anymore, i am hurt, i also want to help him aswell! He is going to go to councelling and told his family. He is a very loving caring man who would do anything to please me, i am begining to doubt myself that i have not been supportive to him enough throughout our relationship! Has anybody else been through this experience?? i would be greatfull for any support. thank you

My partner is also a chat line devotie, he is male and he is chatting to females, he tells me it is all innocent and that he gets lonely during the day when I am at work, he doesn't work by the way. It makes me feel degraded and if I bring it up he just shouts me down and says he is tired of me checking up on him. I am really getting very tired of the situation I feel like smashing the computer
