Ask a Man 28 July '25: 'My partner says I cheated, but she said I must find someone.'

Anonymous has been with his partner for about 8 years now and they have a 4 year-old child together.  About two years ago his partner started becoming off-ish about sex and she eventually started scheduling sex between them to three times a month.  This became a problem in their relationship and she told anonymous that if he wants more sex he can go outside of their relationship and find someone else to have sex with.  Upon realising that he found someone to have sex with, she became upset and accused anonymous of cheating on her.  She moved out of their home out of anger but was convinced by his family to go back to their home.  Things haven’t been the same since she got back and she has now left their home again saying that she’s struggling with his “betrayal”.  Anonymous still loves his partner and doesn’t know how to resolve this.
