This is exactly why I've been telling you need to detach, and to stop being so fearful. You are so afraid of doing something "wrong" that you twist yourself up in knots. So he set a trap and you walked right into it.

He's trying to take away whatever power and self-confidence you might have been building up, and will dangle this over your head any time he needs to shove you back into your place. He'll almost certainly do it if and when you confront him about a possible OW.

So not sure of telling him I won't do it anymore ever is gonna help cause he doesn't believe or trust me.


Of course, he lied to you as well. That counts, too.

He pretended he didn't know anything about those texts to get you to "incriminate" yourself. He didn't treat you like his wife, he interrogated you like a suspect in a crime. Keep that in mind the next time he wants to rub your nose in this.
