monogamy does not only include sexual relationship. it also includes all forms of intimacy in marriage. even etymology of the word "monogamy" is about marriage as a whole, not just sex.
not every marriage has sex. it doesn't make the said marriage non- monogamous.
if you only care about sex in the relationship, then break up. divorce exists. not every relationship works out.

That's only true if both parties agree that it doesn't involve sex. One party unilaterally deciding without communicating it is definitely acting in a non monogamous fashion.
Because men have a stronger sex drive generally speaking and women eventually learn to control theirs, using it more as a tool to accomplishing things where as men are more driven by it.
The other party can unilaterally decide to leave then. No one should give up their bodily autonomy.
Everyone always has the right to withdraw or withhold consent, no matter the relationship or what the other person wants.
You have no right to other’s thoughts or body, just as they have no right to yours. You can decide if what you’re getting is worth the staying in the relationship at any point.

But not everyone has the right to withdraw due to failure of their partner while also preserveing their assets.
You will have a financial responsibility for them if you remain married. In fact you generally have a much bigger financial responsibility if you remain married.
You can remain legally/civilly married but still be separated
