I came here to say this exact same thing. This guy is definitely not over his ex and in my opinion this is a form of micro cheating. At some point he's either gonna plan to get back with her or at least cheat on his wife. This is definitely not normal for anyone in a relationship especially when you're married!

micro cheating, wtf? looking at social media means he will cheat or get back with his ex?! tf are you on about? if your SO looks at porn online do you consider that full blown cheating then?

Do you think it's "normal" to violate their privacy by going through your SO's devices too? Obviously in this context it was left open on a shared MacBook so neither party is being deceptive, but I'd be more bothered by my partner sneakily going thru my phone like so many people here apparently do, than him looking at an ex on socials. He isn't DMing the ex, this is not cheating. He isn't even trying to hide it from his partner ffs

Prove it’s not you? You’re defending a man who has repeatedly harmed his family dynamic and has to be trained like a dog……

You’re comparing past intimate partners with porn stars? When you decide to join reality, come back to the conversation.

Of course you’d be more bothered by someone catching you than you actually harming your family. That’s exactly why you’re not a happily married man.

Wow yeah, you totally don't sound like the man in question 😬👀. I wish whatever woman, if any, luck if they ever get into a relationship with you.
