So yes, perhaps he’s not obliged by your marriage contract not to pay for these video sessions. That’s because being a good partner involves doing more than you’re obliged to, strictly speaking. If you say you feel betrayed and your partner responds with “What am I technically doing wrong?” it doesn’t exactly erase the feeling. Being systematically unavailable making big decisions without consultation just not caring very much how your partner feels – these things may not be instant violations in the obligation-flouting, “you promised A but now you’re doing B” way that infidelity is, but that doesn’t make them any more pleasant to live with. Shouldn’t that matter to him more than whether this meets the definition of cheating?Īll kinds of things are bad partnering, whether or not they’re Objectively Wrong.

How to classify what he’s doing is less important than your emotional clarity: you feel betrayed. Video sessions like this, meeting in secret, holding hands – which of these is cheating? What’s just inappropriate? People’s attitudes differ. All kinds of things can feel like a betrayal inside a marriage, even though there’s no physical sexual relationship. Plotting the exact edges of monogamy is a tricky piece of cartography. Eleanor says: The answer about what counts as infidelity is less important here than how this makes you feel.

What should I do? Let it go? Is he cheating or is he not? I am confused. I am not comfortable with the paid video sessions and I feel betrayed. I personally feel that he has made himself available to the escorts or vice versa and that’s very different from watching porn on websites.
