Why does my husband keep pursuing this girl if it just about sex?

Anonymous
I’ve been with my husband for five year and two years ago I accepted the fact that he is always going to have women on the side. I don’t care as long as there is no drama in our home and as long as I’m his priority.

However, there is this girl that he used to work with that he has been after for the past three years. From my understanding, they have done nothing and haven’t even so much as gone on a date. In their old text exchanges from two years ago, it is always about work and she always shuts down any of his flirting attempts. He would get upset if she talked to other male colleagues and the company dinners I attended with him. He would try to make her jealous (i. e.: sending her unsolicited pictures of our wedding photoshoot). Over a year ago, she blocked him and left the company and he was butthurt. He heard that she was seriously dating someone and he has been despondent and has been trying to find out information on this guy through mutual friends. He keeps telling their mutual friends how she’s mentioned multiple times that she wanted to be single and now she’s in a relationship. He shows up at places that he knows that she’ll be.

If he is just looking for a mistress and just wants sex, why is he so hung up on her?
