is it okay for hubby to flirt with others?

Hubby and me are currently going through marriage counselling session. Why we went through these is because I found flirting messages that he sent with a woman and when I confronted him, he says that's all because I did not give him regular sex life and he is just venting out. No actions done. I agree, after pregnancy of my #1 and now with #2, I always felt tired and rejected him when he initiates. Or rather I originally have low sexual drive. Is that a reason of betrayal? He also says I have invaded his privacy which that's something that he cannot tolerate. I thought counselling can helps to make him understand he is wrong in that aspect for the messages and the most ridiculous thing is he told the woman he still not convinced our 2 year old son belongs to him. I wanted to do DNA to prove my innocence and give justice to my Son but he wanted to ask me pay first cos he does not have enough $. I often think why am I deserving such a treatment just because I did not attend to his sexual needs? Now my question is why will he think his is totally not at fault? I cannot rationale this and he told the counsellor the reason why he comes for the session is just want to see how the counsellor resolve my low sex drive issue and not to save the marriage for our differences and no trust? If my issue is settled, everything will be back to normal and he simply did not think on how bad I was hurt about the betrayal and injustice about doubting our Son is not his. I kind of helpless too cos I am 6 months pregnant with our Daughter now. If there is any daddy advice addressing my question will be appreciated too. Sorry for the lengthy post.

Sorry to say. i doubt it's the low sex drive that is making him flirt outside. it takes two hands to clap. If the low sex drive is affecting him, he could have voiced it out and not keep quiet about it. Since he feels that it isn't his child. Tell him. What if after the DNA test proves that it's HIS child? Will that change his mind about flirting? Will that change his mind about the low sex drive?

He kept quiet when I asked him what if the DNA tests proves is his child. He just say test first. I don't understand why he still did not admit is his fault. Here I wanted to save the marriage so long as he admit is his fault and he try to regain my trust while I still seek professional help on my low sex drive. On the other hand, he kept insisting so long as my issue is resolved, things will be fine. He totally dun understand the whole rationale of going for marriage counselling.
