I never said anything about cheating. This is all your personal attempt to gaslight.
If that's what you do with your spouse good on you. I work 9 to 5 and two Sundays per month 8 to 8. I don't go out at all apart from when I take my family out. Where would I meet the new people? At work? At the age of 36 I really don't care about making new friends and don't have any more energy than to see my kids to bed and spend some quality time with the woman I love.
I also much prefer to go nowhere and snuggle home with my wife than be anywhere and be without her. She IS my best friend in the whole world, I never tire speaking to her, looking at her or being around her and when something important or funny happens she is the first person I talk to and the first person I message. In case you are wondering, this goes both ways. Our personal space is well respected when I play my games or in her case when reads her books or watches certain shows we don't watch together. When I need to go out with a pal of mine, which is extremely rare nowadays as I simply have no time, she will stay with kids and I will go for a 2 to 3 hours or so. Equally when she wants to meet on of her girls I keep the children and she goes out. If I am the odd one, then I am glad I am odd, because I wouldn't trade the last 20 years with anything else in the world. For me, this has been the definition of a successful marriage.
But actually, every couple with kids I know even from work pretty much have a similar lifestyle.
So if you require the companionship of a new woman in any form, as man, then there's a void that's not getting fulfilled inside of your marriage. That doesn't mean to have sex or get intimate with the new person. You can fill a void with many and different kinds of interactions. And mind you I am not talking about pre-existing friends you had from years before meeting your spouse, like childhood friends. I am talking about meeting a new woman, or man for that matter and chat to them, enjoy their company and then decide you want to meet them out for drinks or dinner just the two of you. A new person of the opposite sex. If this doesn't trigger any alarms in you or your spouse, then good on both of you. I don't know how many people would agree to that but good on you mate. However on an irrelevant note, I really doubt even if you are married, that you actually have children. I wouldn't even believe it for a second, based on your reply.
Having the time to go out, for frivolry and meeting "a new woman" or a "new man" are things reserved for single, young individuals (usually), or young couples. When we were young we also had friends of the opposite sex and on occasion hang out with them without being with each other. But we were 24 then, studying at uni, carefree, not caring about a single thing in the world. My whole argument from the beginning is that when you are an full fledged adult, married, with kids, relations with the opposite sex are not as simple as when you were young. If you were a family man you wouldn't be replying the way you did. I assumed you were at least married to be trying to argue my points... I really hope you are cause otherwise it is like a swordsman talking about swords with a guy that only ever held daggers.
