[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP I'm a DP but FWIW I think your situation is fine. What happens between consensual adults is no ones business.

And I'm super nay on hitting the bars while your spouse is in chemo and loathe omg.[/quote]

It's fine, but I do wonder how his wife actually felt. Feeling like you have to give your spouse a hall pass or they'll abandon you in your time of need can't be that edifying. PP's description of his wife saying she would find him someone online is just a bit weird. PP sounds very passive and childlike. [/quote]

Have you helped a dying or permanently ill spouse through many many years of treatment? If not than STFU. Your parochial outlook on this kind of think is just as annoying as OMG saying it should automatically unlock the marriage. These situations are impossibly difficult and rarely exclusively about sex.

I've seen women dying of cancer, and the thought that their husbands would decide to step out on them is just horrific.  I don't disagree that there may be some marriages where this is done ungrudginly on the wife's part -- but I doubt that this is the normal course of events.  The vast majority of women prize monogamy, and that does not change if they are dying.  They may feel they have no other option other than the hall pass -- and I think that's the terrible thing.
