regarding original situation - husband might want wife to talk dirty to him or something that those phone sex people do but she don't do it in the way he likes. it semi makes sense in my head.
the second part - i just heard it on the radio the other morning and thought it would make an interesting dilemma. 2 evils, which would rather be chosen kinda thing.

WEll its not actually fulfilling his desire to cheat, but its headed that way. Almost without fail, when sex becomes an issue, a man more often than not will cheat. So if they haven't been intimate then there is little doubt he will cave in sooner or later and do it with someone else. She should confront him and she should suggest counseling for them and she should do her part as well. If she's all out of shape and not putting forth being as attractive as she can then she share's equal blame. Whenever cheating is involved, its never all one person's fault.

Sorry... it is a me thing... i have zero tolerance for unfaithfulness of any sort in a relationship. No matter what the issues are.. the couple either work them out together, or they break up and find another. There is absolutely never, ever a reason for being unfaithful.
🙂
EDIT:
If he really really lusted after another in his heart... we would be finished and he would be gone, and i would be long passed caring if he hit it or not. I am not talking about the ...wow, she is gorgeous....or... look at the boobies on that ....type of thing... but if he really really wanted to be with another to the point of lusting in his heart... he can go right ahead and have it.

I'd say it's cheating.. but, probably also leans on the fact there's no communication between the two. we are human, we have sexual needs.. and men.. well, tend to be more needing of it seems. I remember a health/sex ed class a few semesters back, our prof was talking about a couple who were having relationship problems. the question of sex came up.. he said "we're not doing it enough." she said "oh my, we're doing it alll the time."
I think I saw a Jerry Springer show where a husband was doing those internet live webcam things and didn't touch his wife.
Although I don't think it would come in handy in this situation. For one Steve isn't around and throwing a chair at him wouldn't be the best of ways to resolve this.
Oh and another Q, do you guys think she should stick with the guy and work it out or cut the ties here before he goes farther down that road?

Women think it is usually. And truthfully, if you love your wife, do you go on phone sex lines and let her know about it? I'm married and DL the pron, but would never tell my wife and if she found out ..... DIVORCE!
So hells yes.
Well, I have a different rule on this one.
If he's PAYING for phone sex, then not cheating as there is no physical and clearly the motivation from the participant is money.
If he's NOT PAYING and having phone sex, then it's cheating, as he's actually establishing a type of relationship with someone else who has the same goal.
Same rule applies to strip clubs. Not cheating to get a lap dance from a gal you paid at a strip club, cheating to get a lap dance from some gal just you didn't pay.
And no, before you go there, this does NOT apply to prostitution. Physical sex is just plain cheating anyway you cut it.

Definately not cheating. No worse than going to a strip club and coming home & rubbing one out.
She should be concerned about the lack of intamacy, though. That may be a sign that something is wrong with the relationship.
No sex for a year is definately worse than phone sex.

That is sad.
It's a matter of intent. If he was doing it "for fun", so to speak, and was still enjoying and in love with his wife, then no. If he wasn't paying attention to his wife, and would rather call the sex line, then yea, it was cheating...

i dont consider it cheating, hes horny and for whatever reason they arent getting it on....thats be like saying he was cheaitng because she caught him looking at porno.
