Is it wrong that I “cheated” on him?

Anonymous

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 15 years and known each other 20 years. We have been through it all. About 5 years ago, we were in a really bad place and he was totally sick of me I guess. He was telling me to leave him alone, that I’m gross, and to talk to other guys.

After a long time of that, I did exactly what he told me to do (online). I chatted online with men and I posted some sexy pictures of myself. I enjoyed the attention and the nice things I wasn’t receiving from my boyfriend. We aren’t married and he told me to go do it. This was after years of crying to myself to sleep every night. We would have sex, but I would feel pathetic and like I was making him 25 % of the time. There was no love there at all especially on his part.

His problem with me was my accusations of cheating and needing to control situations. We have children together and live together so that is why I didn’t just end it. Also, I don’t think you should just give up on someone especially after so long and with children.

Was I completely wrong? Was he at fault at all? Also, I do believe he has cheated on me even though he vehemently denies anything.
