Married men with family how do you convince yourself about hobbying. What are your fears???
Half-way into my now defunct 28 year marriage, which had become sexless and loveless, but we were staying together for the kids, I felt no guilt at all going to spas and seeing escorts.

I did not do that during the marital "good years".

LOL change 28 years for an even 20 years, and I have pretty much a similar story. The first 15 or so years were not perfectly blissful. but I was certainly faithful. The last 4 years of my marriage were filled with me making up for a loveless sexless marriage by any means necessary.

i stick to strip clubs for the ocassional bit o fun.
Just 'for titilation'.
Pardon the pun.
I am 90% of the time a no menu seeker kinda punter.

I fund this from side hustles.

I worked near an auto assemlby plant for a while.
So go for a walk at lunch after parking on an approach to the place.
And end up with a couple of very full gorcery shopping bags filled with crushed beer cans from a .75 of an hour walk.
That translates to $12-15 a day of beer store returns.

Spot the dumped goods that are redeemable for cash at the scrap yard, from noon walks.
Stop and pick them up on the drive home.
Brake drums, batteries, etc.

Keep an eye on the e-waste bin if you work in a big office block.
Salvaged power cords pay well at the scrap yard.

Keep an eye on any facility battery gathering or light fixture bins.
SLA batteries are $1-1.5 each, and ballasts 1 buck and wire to the ends of old 4' fixtures is worth about the same.

Ask the IT department if you can help clear out their old computer pile.
They keep the cpus and monitors.
You just wan the power and monitor cables.
One day I asked ,and they had given up lease space and had reams of cat 5 filling their storage closet that once was tied to racks of switches.
They were happy I took it away.
They had their space back Thursday after work
And Saturday morning by 8am I made $450 off it at the scrap yard.

Wander by dumpsters of plumber/hvac places on weekend mornings early if not during the week.
To find cast iron, plumbing fixture rich in brass.

Keep your eyes open and cruise the curbs on no limit garbage days in your own and adjacent neighbourhoods.

The above tended to spin at least 2-3K a year on average year in year out.

Not enough for a full blown weekely orgy, but enough to scratch the 'see the peelers itch' from time to time.

Like maybe once a month when dear wife is off to a book club meeting, or off to see a play that I was not interested in.

What effing shared account???

As Trump says "Fight, fight fight" (when your wife asks for a joint account)!

My exes and I had separate bank accounts. I did give them an Amex credit card linked to mine, and I paid the monthly amounts owing.

Apart from that I told them I didn't want to have to account for every expense I incurred, or every personal purchase I made, and I didn't expect them to either...

Yeah. I've never married, but I've lived with a number of women, and I've had a number of serious girlfriends. My rule has always been: "What's mine is mine, and what's yours, but I'm willing to 'help out' in proportion to the amount you are.", which helps smooth out any income differences. Though quite often I've been with women that make more than me.

There are so many threads on this and answers have ranged from get a side gig, to get a separate account to withdraw small amounts at a time to getting cashback at grocery/ lcbo. There’s also the option of cashing your coins in or your empties. 😂

Get your own accounts 😉
Some things are just easier if you always just keep them seperate. Things like bank accounts, user accounts on computers, phone logins, and streaming profiles. On my streaming services, and computers, I always keep a guest account. Your ass is using that unless we're going steady. Then you get a user of your own.

It's ALWAYS a lot easier to keep those things separate in the first place rather than separating them after you start sharing.

So my advice is to not go 'joint' in the first place.

Edit: That's not specifically for seeing Escorts. I'd rather not have anyone messing with my stuff, love you, and thank you very much, lol!

Been married for 9 years. Started hobbying again about 3 years ago.

I am in a sexless marriage. We dont fight, but there's no passion either. Combine that with my wife has stopped taking care of herself.

No kids though.

Times are hard and I could barely afford to live on my own. If we split and sell our house, I won't have enough to pay for a down payment, so I would just watch my funds slowly dwindle until I have nothing.

Seeing an SP is very different from an affair IMO. Im not texting these girls behind my wife's back. There's no emotional cheating going on. It's transactional. And these girls do shit that my wife would never do.

I believe that there's and argument to say that SP's are keeping marriages together
