Maybe it's just normal for men to seek outside sources to satisfy themselves. Am I the one who is not open enough? What should I do?

A netizen sent this post by a woman who allegedly became a mistress of a married man.

I read with much interest the report in the Straits Times on the Registry of Marriage’s (ROM) thoughtful gesture in giving recognition to couples who have stayed committed to each other for 50 years with the presentation of a commemorative marriage certificate (Renew vows to mark 50 years of marriage, Sunday 3rd September 2017)
