Sounds like he might have some sort of addiction. It is essential to see a counselor if you want the marriage to work. Tolerating it is not the way to go, you need to give him an ultimatum if he keeps breaking the trust.
Having an unwholesome husband is just as or can be even more damaging as having no husband. You got to know where the line is and be clear about standing firm on your side.
I wish you well.

Thanks for all the advice. He says he hasn't actually cheated and while everyone is probably thinking I am stupid for believing that, I can usually tell when he's lying. Honestly, I think it's less about sex and more about making it known that he can have another woman or how much more attractive other women are. Maybe more of a control issue than and infedelity one. He's like that in other ways as well, when he left me for two months the first time he says it's because I didn't do the dishes. Just the other day he said that wasn't sure he wanted to stay married because I don't do the laundry enough and when I mentioned that I was registering for school, making dinner for seven people every night, studying, taking care of three kids and cleaning he agreed that it was a lot but said that it was "my job". I asked him about once I am in school, taking care of the kiddos, and working if he would still feel like I am not good enough for him he said "probably". I think a lot of this has to do with his mom, nobody will ever be good enough for her boys and she makes that very clear.
