"I'm a married man, but do I still have what it takes?" Husband pretended to be single and drank with an unfamiliar woman [What do you think?]

[Financial News] An online debate has erupted after a woman said she was considering divorce because her husband used an anonymous workplace community app to pretend to be single and meet an unfamiliar woman for an impromptu drinking meetup.
On the 6th, a post titled "My husband pretended to be single and picked up women behind my back—should I divorce him?" was uploaded to the anonymous workplace community NOW Talk.
According to the author, identified only as Ms. A, her husband's misconduct began a year ago. At the time, he secretly posted on NOW Talk that he was "looking for someone to have a drink with" and drank one-on-one with a woman he did not know. After being caught the next day, he explained that "we only had drinks and there was no further contact or meeting," then signed a written pledge not to repeat the behavior and even gave his wife access to his phone.
The reason the husband gave for his behavior was somewhat absurd. He confessed, "I was curious whether the charm that made me popular when I was single still worked now that I'm a married man," adding, "I was simply curious to talk with someone of the opposite sex." Ms. A was dumbfounded, but because she trusted her husband, who had generally been devoted to his family and responsible, she decided to forgive him once.
However, exactly one year after signing the pledge, the husband once again used the same community to find an unfamiliar woman and meet her for drinks. He was eventually caught again.
Ms. A lamented, "There are limits to this kind of misconduct. I've completely lost affection for my husband after he repeated the exact same behavior a year later," adding, "Shouldn't I now seriously consider getting a divorce?"
Online users reacted strongly after learning of the story. Many called for firm action, saying, "Even if there was no physical relationship, repeatedly hiding his marital status while picking up women is clearly deception and the first step toward an affair," "It also inconveniences and disrespects the women involved," and "If he repeated it a year after even signing a pledge, it has become habitual and will be difficult to change."
Others took a more cautious view, arguing, "It may have been an immature lapse simply intended to confirm his self-esteem," and "If he did not cross the line into physical infidelity, the couple should first try to repair their relationship through counseling or other professional help."
Legal experts point out that if a spouse conceals the fact that he is married and repeatedly has private meetings with members of the opposite sex, the conduct may be recognized as marital misconduct even without direct evidence of sexual intercourse. It could therefore constitute grounds for a court-ordered divorce and a claim for alimony, as it may be viewed as seriously undermining mutual trust and the spouses' duty of fidelity.
