is it cheating.

ok so here is the scoop. there is this guy who is a good husband. good looking, great job, good with the kids, loves his wife. The sex in the relationship is not happening. when he's lucky enough to get some, its the hurry up and finish kind of sex that no one likes. he has a serious talk with his wife and tells her if she doesn't take care of him he will find someone who will. she then replies with a "go ahead then."

If she gives her consent, is it cheating? or is the fact that he is thinking about looking other places and ignoring the fact that it doesn't bother his wife that he might go sleeping around.

Now most guys would know that his is obviously a trap. she gives the go ahead, you take the bait and she divorces you and takes everything because you cheated. If I was in this dudes shoes I'd be suspicious of why she is being so distant. either she doesn't love me anymore more and she is thinking about leaving me or she is already getting some on the side.

there is a rare 3nd alternative. maybe she still does love him and doesn't want to cheat on him but something else is bothering her. in any case there is obviously a problem with this relationship and seeking out other partners is not a solution it's like swallowing a cyanide pill.
