How many years have you been able to hobby without your SO finding out?

.... earlier this year. Of course everyone's situation is different but I am currently separated and looking at divorce. I am happier now than I have been in a long time!

......so I'm still a rookie. But after years of stripclubbing I am pretty adept at keeping my extracurricular hobbies on the down low.

I got busted because I forgot to tell a co-worker I was taking the day off. He call me house (looking for me) and my wife picked up the phone. I was hobbying in a 3 hour appointment on a Friday. The wife waited until a Sunday morning to ask me where I was, I broke out in a smile, she said "You are busted".  

I have been able to be married without the hobby for 25 years, but it wasn't easy. Have been hobbing around for two months, but I'll come clean to my wife right after the holidays are over and life goes back to normal. Will be posting the outcome in the weeks to come.

I don't see it as being that big of a deal to hide that part of my existence. We both have day jobs. We have friends. We do stuff apart.  

I'm No longer married but 4 years...I thin

Though I do remember seeing someone for pay when I was in my early 20s (so 50 years ago) but my first TER review was a dozen years ago. My two marriages cover a total of 39 years. Hobbying always represented a small part of my extra curricular activity.
In thinking about this, if this is a sin, I am really doomed for eternity.

This is one time a failing memory is a good thing. But to hobby a long time, takes extreme patience, cautious planning, and pure luck. Over the years, even with cautious planning and patience, I almost got found out on three separate occasions. Yet, pure luck prevailed. With each near discovery I promised God that I would stop hobbying, and go back to church. Of course, being a hopeless sinner, I kept on hobbying, and skipped church. In fact, my best hobby day is Sunday. Would a 'TER is my new religion' joke go over well? Once again, I'm like Dr. Joe. For all this fucking around in life, I'm fucked for eternity. No worries though. The thoughts of what we did to each other in the shower will last forever.

But now we only hobby together. .....all i can say is good luck and make sure its worth it to you........its my biggest regret EVER and i wish i had never done it.  

Hobbied pretty consistently the last 4 years of our marriage. Never a close call. Now that I'm divorced and she told me she checked out emotionally around 2008 (a form of cheating) I'm real tempted to tell her I fucked around the last few years. But I wont

but she had already been having affairs for 2 years, so I didn't give a flying fuck, and she knew it.  She even tried to guilt-trip me by pointing out that affairs are not illegal, but renting hookers is.  That made me care even less.  Divorce is imminent, and I can't wait to be free!

I've been hobbying around for about one year , if you look at my reviews  
I have between one and two a week . I've been married for over 8 years .
I hope to be married for another 15 till my kids are older .
I think we should ask a different question ,
Why are we hobbing around ?  

15 Years.  

Are you really THAT much smarter than everyone else after one whole year of cheating on your wife?  

Exactly what I was thinking...1 year?????  Damn dude, I've been doing this shit for 15+ years...13 of those I was married to a divorce attorneys para-legal...She taught me exactly what NOT to do..If I put an anti-keylogger on my computer guess whose radar is gonna be on high alert....

Look guys , don't get bend out of shape here ,  

and I've never used a "go" phone. If one is careful, locks his phone immediately (1 minute non use) and doesn't keep a bunch of unnecessary phone numbers and contacts in it, I see more risk toting around another phone. Just the way I roll........................

I agree , in some situations second phone may not
Be a good idea . But for me , my wife knows I carry one phone for business  
And one for personal , so it works for me .  

They always suspect something but they do not know what it is.  Now due to many news stories on the hobby, they include that as one of the suspicions.  Actually, my belief is that the mere suspicion keeps the wife on her toes.

5 years and still going

I've written this all before.  The key for me has been to segment it away from my regular life.  About 98% of my hobby experience has been while on the road for business, the majority was overseas, and this makes it much easier.  A Trac fone is a must, another phone for overseas is needed, separate email accounts, NEVER using my regular or business or email addresses, and having a convenient way and reason to have a hobby sta$h available when necessary to avoid withdrawals from joint accounts.  Also, if you book hotel rooms using hotel point programs, BE SURE to have them set-up with PO box or work address and NOT mailed to your home address!

I think she may have suspected towards year 30, but no questions
