Mine had an affair and in dating apps, his excuse was they were nice, I just needed someone to talk to. To me, that's blah blah and lies.

Spot on, as usual. The meaning of 'committed' in a monogamous relationship precludes being open to relationships with others, whether on dating apps, or messaging, or social media, or in person, for that matter.

You are quite literally out looking for an Opportunity to cheat by staying on dating apps!

Is it cheating when your spouse says she will never have sex again, refuses to compromise or address a solution. And has starved your marriage for 15 out of 22 years? Just at my wits end, she won't listen to the therapist suggestions on how to address her deadness.

Monogamy and forced celibacy are poor bed partners (pun intended)
