Welcome to adulting. Bf is either controlling, or knows you have substance abuse issues, and doesn't want you to get hurt.

Girls night in, glass of whatever and your favorite streaming service. If the house is in one piece the next morning, and you're fine, a few times a fortnight is fine for you.

Reverse things, see if in exchange for staying dry, your bf will give up something.

Have you talked to your wife about her libido? About changing meds and talking to a sex therapist maybe? I am sure you did but it doesn’t say in your post.

It feels like cheating because it is probably cheating, depending on how your wife feels about it. Different people have different boundaries, some are ok with open relationships and others are not ok with porn, so depends on where you two fall. Personally for me the line is crossed when you interact with the person and/or pay for it in a sea of free porn.

If you want to stay with your wife and not cheat then that would mean addressing the low libido. There are subreddits for people in dead bedrooms (but read those with caution since people can be salty and vindictive).

He often stays for a few nights at a time and sometimes talks about “making it work” in regards to him possibly having to move away - but despite that I’m inclined to agree. He never wants to go out and do anything. Whether that’s walking the dog together, grabbing lunch in town, or anything of the sort.

Yeah, she did. She talked to a therapist, but homeotherapy help her the most. Also, her familiy is very supportive. But, it is a long way from being completly peacful in mind.

I get it, nothing is completly safe in life and anything can happen. But, that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen or at least to try. Just saying that threw me off the tracks and scared me a little bit. I'm afraid that nothing will be the same anymore. If break up happens, that's life, but to break up just because she thinks that she will hurt me is apsurd to me. We didn't break up, but those words are stuck in my head.
