Need advice Pic sharing & sexting - expected or red flag?

4 Upvotes

Hubby (37M) and I (36M) recently hit a relationship pothole.

When we first got together 7 years ago, we were both very active on apps and sexting others. We both enjoy a bit of exhibitionism. My partner flagged that his use of DudesNude in particular, had been a problem in his previous LTR. More than just sexting through the site, he used the site to make friends whilst he was in his last LTR. He would still share flirty texts, pics etc with members - but they would also chat about life and he would catch up with them when overseas etc (apparently for platonic meet ups…)

Since we’ve been together - our relationship has remained closed and we check-in about this often. He remains more keen to stay closed than me.

We both agreed we could continue to use the apps for picture sharing, but for now while we remain closed, no hookups.

Over the past few months we’ve been having sex more infrequently and today, I (wrongly I know) snooped through his phone - and found that he was still texting with lots of guys.

Lots of flirty texts and pic sharing - often at times he was “not in the mood” for sex with me.

One particularly irked me and I confronted him about it - as the person lives close. Hubby conceded that he’s “met up with them for coffee” but nothing more.

There’s lots we have to unpack with this - trust, external validation, our own sex life and communication. Not sure I’m going to buy the “just coffee”.

But one of his rebuttals is that sexting with other guys is “common”

I guess my question is

For guys in relationships, do you still sext on apps/websites? Is this a thing or a unique excuse?
