Challenging circumstances in a budding relationship

I'm a 33-year-old woman, attractive and well-liked, with a great social circle and a positive outlook on life. I've recently entered a wonderful relationship with a generous 39-year-old man whom I truly care for. He's thoughtful, a fire sign, and is so attentive—often bringing me food and giving me foot massages every night if I ask. He also takes care of my bills and comes home on time every night. We're approaching the four-month mark in our relationship, but I've noticed our intimacy has dwindled to just once a week, if I’m lucky. When I ask him about it, he reassures me that everything is okay, despite it previously being four or five times a week. This shift made me feel compelled to check his phone at night, even though we both have each other's passwords. In the deleted messages, I discovered that he was using an escort messaging service and inquired about a quick visit. I was devastated. I attempted to bring it up subtly, but I didn’t want to reveal that I had snooped. I asked him to communicate openly if something was wrong or if he needed a break, but he seemed oblivious and insisted I clarify my concerns. I wanted to speak up but felt stuck. If we were to part ways, not only would I face financial challenges, but our families are intertwined, having known each other for three years. How should I confront him about my findings? **TL;DR:** I've noticed a decline in our physical relationship and found evidence of him seeking escorts. I'm heartbroken and unsure how to confront him about it.

Under the soft glow of candlelight, you took a deep breath. “Can we talk?” you asked, heart racing. You opened up about your feelings, the change in intimacy, and those unsettling discoveries, carefully revealing your heartache. “I value us so much,” you said, hoping honesty sparks a breakthrough. “Let’s find our way back together.”

It’s tough to navigate this situation, especially with intertwined families. Honesty is crucial. Express your feelings about the intimacy shift and share your concerns directly about the escort messages without revealing the snooping. Gauge his reaction to better understand his commitment. Prepare for any outcome, prioritizing your emotional well-being.

As the sun dipped, Clara sat on her balcony, heart heavy. She thought of Jake’s sweet gestures, but the discovery gnawed at her. “Honesty is key,” she whispered to her tea. The next evening, she took a deep breath, her heart racing. “Can we talk?” she asked softly. With vulnerability, she shared her feelings. Together, they navigated the truth, laying bare their hearts, and finding a path forward.
