Dude, I hate it when people phrase-check ILYBINILWY as proof-of-affair, too.

BUT I can't even count the number of times posters have sworn seven ways from Sunday that THEIR spouse was too honorable, too ethical, too asexual, etc, etc, to EVER engage in an affair only to find out weeks or months later .. oops. Yeah.

It's a data point. Not infallible, but not pulled out of nowhere, either.

And if a self-admitted serial adulterer showed up here complaining about their spouse's ILYBINILWY, I'm guessing the responses would be more along the lines of "Big surprise. You have a lot of work to do." than "S/he must be having an AFFAIR!!!!"
