That sounds like a personality disorder which is why you should thoroughly vet a long term partner and screen for personality disorders early on in a relationship. I hope the husband finds out and recovers from the betrayal.

I used to knew someone like this. "Love and sex are different, separate things." It taught me to be more guarded about who I associate with.
