Why do men in relationships visit prostitutes...?

So, the saga continues but a more interesting twist.
He had condoms in his dresser. He got them several months ago, he claimed they were for when we had sex during certain times of my cycle or when he got a strange bump and didn't want to rub it raw.

So I knew about them but 6 months ago, they had been separated by drawer and some were missing, two to be exact. He claimed that if he kept a certain amount in the top drawer of his dresser, and then couldn't find them in the top drawer he'd look in the middle drawer and so on until he eventually got to the ones in the bottom and that would tell him it's time to buy more.

He has a tendency to change his stories when confronted so, when I asked 6 months ago why there were some missing and he gave me yet another b.s. excuse,I decided to take pictures and put them in a secure folder on my cell phone that I only knew the code to. That way, I wouldn't forget how many were in there and how many we'd used. Also, we agreed that if he grabbed any to use together, he'd tell me ... cause his excuse for the missing condoms was we'd used them, I just didn't remember.

Fast forward to this morning after he conveniently forgot he had 30 days to make his departure, I decided to take a peek at his stock pile. Low and behold, two condoms are missing from the top drawer and he didn't use them with me.

Also, we've not been able to use his Jeep Renegade for the past 5 months because he's "had fishing stuff in there and there's no room" so we've always taken my vehicle. About a week ago I noticed the fishing bucket he had in the floor board of the passenger seat had been moved to the trunk, the fast food wrappers were also gone.

He's a truck driver and has been for a long while, his mother was a prostitute who didn't raise him but he still has memories of some of his time being spent with her. So, with that and the fact he's admitted to having cheated on girlfriends before and in the first 6 months of our relationship I found he was perusing Escorts while we were on vacation... I'm left with one question.

Why do men in relationships visit escorts or prostitutes?
I've tried so hard to understand... I gave 110% to him and this relationship and he ... used me. Sadly I'm a gigantic idiot because it's not the first time I've had this happen.
In a selfish world where does a giver thrive?

So many men lack the emotional intelligence to express their feelings, desires and thoughts and it leads to cheating and dishonesty. This should in no way excuse his or other mens behaviour but as a society we should rethink what it means to be a man so that future generations of men feel more secure in their masculinity and don't repress emotions.

You deserve honesty, love and respect. You deserve better.

@RebelliousSpirit After sleeping on it, it makes me wonder, what do I really deserve? If the majority of men have difficulty communication (which is a HUGE issue in my relationship) is it worth it to hang in there and fight through with him until we achieve something workable?
At the moment, I won't get to explore that because I don't intend on staying in any kind of relationship with out professional help. When I've mentioned it, he likes to dance away from it and never gives an answer expect to change the subject.
