What would you do in this situation? Where do I go from here?

As far as I know just the sexual texts.. We share a car and I always pick him up and drop him off at work, he doesn't stay out late and is very loving to me and our baby. Everything is perfect I. Our marriage except this one thing.. It's eating away what I thought we had.

Has he had sex with the 19 year old?

Ditto Shawnn. He's full of crap. If you can't afford counseling... you may be able to look into counseling from a church (who may work with you on the cost) or check into adult mental health services and see what low cost options your area may have available. IF you want to stay in this relationship... counseling is a must. Either he will be willing to go with you and change... or you are going to need 'coping techniques' to live with a man who doesn't value his relationship... or you're going to need the strength to get out and raise your child to understand that this type of relationship is unacceptable.

It's tough because my gut tells me there more to this.. But it's been 3 months and I just can't seem to let it go.. He just can't believe I'm STILL talking about it! Well yeah when he says stories about her at work I get so hot in the face an furious!! Everyday their still cohersing and having such a great time.. And I'm a stay at home mom with our newborn baby.. I can't afford counseling and he wouldn't pay for it cause I'm "overreacting over nothing"! I love him so much this is the ONE thing that is ruining everything!! I just want to stop thinking about it but I can't:(

Personally I think he's lying to you! As a manager who knows how serious companies take these allegations you would never allow someone to use your phone to text another coworker sexually explicit messages. Only you can decide how to proceed, you will probably never have 100% truth from him so you have to decide if you can accept the inappropriate behavior or not. I also recommend therapy because you will have major trust issues and rightfully so!

No, sorry, Sheena, my hubby was a kitchen manager for YEARS and I was a server for just as many years, and that behaviour goes on all the time. Maturity level? Yeah, right.

Put your foot down. Either he absolutely stops the behaviour all together and agrees to go for counseling, or you serve him with papers.

My husband is 32 and the other coworker is 35. They girl coworker involved is 19!!! I agree with the level of immaturity... Which my husband acknowledged when "kinda" apologizing to me. He also said that this behavior is what "happens when you work in a resteraunt" ya ok? And he is the BOSS of all the people..

Methinks he doth protest too much. He rapidly deleted the "evidence" and gets extremely hostile and defensive when you request accountability...

See a family counselor now. Your husband has been and still is most likely sleeping with the office worker. The story about a "male coworker grabbing his phone" is a crock at best. First of all, how old are these men? 12? Middle school boys grab each other's phones and snap pics on them. Adult men do not.

You think so? I would have thought if you have nothing to hide then why delete them?
