Sounds like he is stuck in a negative mindset. Maybe everything is annoying him or he is feeling resentful and that is colouring everything.
It doesn't matter really, living with being constantly picked apart is exhausting and unfair and does push you further and further apart.
People thrive on positive feedback. You are getting g the opposite. And so are your children and that is also effecting them and will damage their self esteem long term.
So listen, a lot of people here are telling you you’re cheating. This isn’t accurate. Cheating is very broad, in some relationships, simply looking at another woman wrong would be cheating. In other relationships, fucking numerous other women would NOT be cheating. Every relationship has different dynamics and different definitions of cheating that nobody here is privy to, only you and your partner, and only you and your partner can define what is and isn’t cheating.
That being said, would you tell your partner about the downloading apps and what not? Have you? If you haven’t, and wouldn’t, why? Your answer to that questions constitutes whether or not you are cheating.
Regardless, sounds like you’re not being satisfied, so this should be addressed with your partner.
“I feel guilty about this but I know if he finds out, he will just refuse to wear condoms and it’ll cause a massive fight.” There is a big difference between that and a good healthy non-abusive relationship. Saying I'm doing this and leaving no room for discussion especially when involving two people isn't communication. “We’ve talked about this in the past and he said if I ever got on the pill, he would not want to use condoms because there would be no point.” And he clearly knows nothing about birth control. This is not how you describe a healthy relationship. At all. “We've talk about this” “he said he would not want to wear condoms” “if he finds out, he will just refuse to wear condoms.” This is not healthy. It might not be abusive yet but there ARE red flag that she should definitely take into account
But do you have a lot of single friends? Do you and your husband take time to still “date” each other? You’re fairly newly married so based on this reaction I’m wondering if he’s used to the status quo of your relationship and is worried about you seeing other men put in effort to date your friend?
You may feel that way but the volume of posts that talk about men who are the breadwinners being arseholes because they don’t want to do household chores disagrees with you!
This guy and girl and those types of people who spend time plotting dumb shit like this, instead of reading or even taking a nap. I love to read and take naps. I do not spend my time plotting to test people. Know why? I'm not a lunatic. These are the bullies whose parents probably ignored them too much (not their fault, we are all human) but this idiot wants to test OP because of his own effed up reasons for needing attention. And hurting this poor girls self esteem for years. I hope not. I hope oP reads this and learns, oh, these are just assholes. OP you are fine. Go to therapy about the bad relationships. Not this guy!!! Then you will have your pick of the dudes, that's what happened to me. I don't want none of em. Was not what I was really searching for!

It is okay to be done.

Aaah, high school romance. Don’t miss it for a minute.
It sounds like she needs therapy. Do not do this.
