Husband in dating/hooking up apps

Hey all, good day! I wanna ask you guys about something, i caught my husband on dating/hooking up apps recently. I dont know if i'm being over dramatic or not. I was not able to see their conversation, when confronted, he admitted that he has been doing it everytime we having argument (married for about 5 years). Our sex frequency is honestly not that high, but in my opinion, he rarely initiates too. We have a 3 year old kid. When i was pregnant, i had the placenta previa condition which prevent me from having sex with him. Our sex frequency also was not that high even before we got pregnant. When asked abt the apps, he said he just did it because he was not getting enough from me. I admit I rarely initiate the sex . So my question is, is it normal that i feel so mad and thinking about a divorce? Would you do the same?

If he actually hooks up with women and slept with them then it’s downright cheating. If he’s chatting virtually then I think it depends on what you define as cheating. Some women will be angry but will forgive but some women see that as cheating too.

Even if he's never met any of the girls (or so he claims la hor), fact is that he considered doing so, and him looking through these apps puts him on a slippery slope to actually do something, especially when he's all angry after fighting. I suggest talking to him when everyone is calm, that you do not wish that it escalates to this level, and that the consequences will be dire if he chooses to proceed to engage in physical activities. Don't let him gaslight you into thinking that browsing these apps doesn't mean anything; there are girls on the other end who may be looking for a fling, and may not realise/care that this guy is married with a kid. And no, you have every right to be angry. Your husband thinks it's ok to have a look around every time you 2 fight. That's not healthy. Would also suggest seeking help to improve both your conflict management skills. This situation still can be resolved.
