Good Afternoon all
I feel that my husband is obsessed with sex. We argue all the time and he states that he does not get enough and he doesn't get it as often as he thinks he should. He told me that he had thought of cheating and my reply to that was that a married man shouldn't have thoughts like that needless to say he did wind up cheating and we have been back and forth to marriage counseling. He recently just that me that counseling did not work and why should he have to lower his expectations of sex plain out right i should just do it or he wants an open marriage. Not sure what i can do i give him what he wants and i take care of the house and kids.

SA, welcome to Marriage Builders. I am sorry for the reasons that brought you here.
There are a couple of issues here. First off, there is no excuse for your husbands affair. None. So the first problem has to be to affair proof your marriage. Is your H still in touch with this woman? Has the affair been exposed? If she is married, does her husband know?
As long as your husband threatens to cheat if you do not meet his need, he is a dangerous man. Adultery is a traumatic as rape or physical assault so essentially he is threatening to beat you up if you don't meet his needs. He is an unsafe man.
Can you tell us what is his complaint is about sexual fulfillment? What are his main complaints specifically?
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.." Theodore Roosevelt Exposure 101
