Dear DBs, how do you deal with your temptations for other options?

I do understand and respect everyone here has their own reasons to stay in the relationships (yet) even though they are struggling, like myself.

So instead of asking 'why', I want to hear your thoughts on whether you have been tempted to find another partner or cheat on your partner, and if yes, how you deal with it.

My husband suggested he wants to keep this relationship so he wants us to try. And yet he is watching porns regularly and never get excited or proactively try to have sex with me.

I am already sexsually dead frustrated after 2.5 years of a DB and I know therr are men out there who actually find me charming and attractive both physically and mentally. And I want to feel desired, just like everyone else. So everytime other men flirt with me or try to get to know me I am so much tempted to sexsually develop that relationship. I am gradually becoming a mental ho already and I can't handle this amount of hatred that I have against myself for imagining this or even trying this.

I have already openly talked about this to my husband and I even said if he still does not put a single effort in trying to make this work out, I would seek an open relationship and keep ours as he wishes. He said no but he still is too addicted to porns.

What have you been going through? Anyone similar to my experience?
