25 Years Married and a Listener Caught With His Pants Down Online!

25 Years Married and She Catches Him Sex Chatting With Other Women! Is It Cheating?**

In this episode, Niall speaks to callers about a marriage in crisis after a listener makes a devastating discovery about her husband of 25 years.

At 1am, she finds him fast asleep at his laptop with sexually explicit conversations with other women still open on the screen. She’s horrified, heartbroken and feels completely betrayed.

But her husband insists he hasn’t cheated. He claims he’s been lonely, misses intimacy and has been using online sex chats to satisfy needs that haven’t been met in their marriage for some time. He argues that because he’s never physically touched another woman, he hasn’t actually been unfaithful.

His wife admits her sex drive has been low for years and their marriage has lacked physical intimacy. She even wonders whether she’s partly to blame for pushing him towards other women online.

Her sister, however, has absolutely no sympathy for him. She says he’s a cheat, has betrayed his wife’s trust and should be shown the door.

But is it really that simple?

**Is sexually explicit chatting with strangers online just harmless fantasy, or is it every bit as much cheating as having a physical affair?**

Should this woman throw away 25 years of marriage over conversations on a computer screen? Does a lack of intimacy explain his behaviour, or is he simply making excuses for betraying his wife?

And here’s another question. **If your partner stopped wanting sex, would you consider online sexual conversations with other people an acceptable alternative?**

Niall hears some very different opinions from callers as they debate fidelity, loneliness, sexual frustration, trust and whether a marriage can survive this kind of betrayal.

**Would YOU forgive your husband or wife, or would catching them sex chatting with strangers be the end of your marriage?
