It wouldn’t hurt to review 1 Corinthians 7 and Mark 10, especially if your emotions are running high. Paul advises the believer not to divorce the unbeliever (1 Cor 7:12).

Are you’re referring to physical acts? The standard for marital faithfulness according to Jesus is in Matthew 5:28–looking with lustful intent is adultery. If you’ve not done that one time in 31 years, good for you! If you have, then think about the implications of that.
