This is a interesting question and like many I find myself constantly having to justify my choices to myself.
I've slow eroded my personal values around honesty. Its really not something that can be restored - not while in a relationship and having a habit of deceit while trying to find love and affection.
As an old punter, I am well know person in my professions, with a great family (which I've tried to protect). Over the years, I have a built a persona as a mask. It is a false narrative of name, work, habits, phone, etc. I even have an older car which I use when I punt. All to protect myself from being caught out again.
I was separated, the first time my wife found out about my punting habit and casual sex with women. With marriage counselling we got back together, but the trust was broken and like most women she never forgave or forgot. So with time, I started punting again, but this time I got wiser. I started creating a double life.
Now I have 2 persona's, 1 to my family and friends and the other to the ladies to visit and casual sexual partners I encounter when I'm away from the family.
Outsourcing my unmet sexual needs to keep the home front harmonious, while started as a fun escape has ruined my personal life and has prevented my from living an authentic life.
I'm just a lie - often torn by quilt and shame, but I still try to find connection and warmth from punting rather than in my marriage!
A cautionary tale

I loved this read.
A narrative that inspires much conversation on various levels.

Both men and women have desires which aligned perfectly when they met, got married and possibly for a few years after that. They were insatiable and did everything to make each other happy.
Then life happens.
Interests change.
Desires change.
So divorce?
I don't want to.
My wife and I are compatible in 99 ways out of 100. Our likes, interests and dislikes all match.
The 1 thing that in which we are not compatible is sex.
So I punt.
And feed all my kinks and fetishes that she won't.
