Question: 

My husband cheated the entirety of our relationship, frequently solicited and maintained relationships with online sex workers, messaged old exes, pursued new people online, went to massage parlors, and regularly saw prostitutes for oral sex and drugs. He claims his reasons are “not that deep” and he doesn’t need more therapy to understand. He cheated for fun, excitement, attention, and stress relief. I can’t accept that his cheating did not come from a place of pain. He claims he is not an addict and while he hasn’t cheated since discovery 10 months ago, I still feel unsettled as he doesn’t see the need for more introspection. He doesn’t see the value in activities like doing more therapy, reading recovery material/listening to podcasts or attending groups. Is this a lost cause and should I just take his promise at face value that his past will stay in the past?
