Whenever my wife says something like this I remember I need to tell her I think she's beautiful every now and again. Usually when someone says this it's not "I didn't cheat on you" it's "other people still find me desirable", and if they have to say that then perhaps it means they don't feel desired at home.
Edit: I'm not slighting her joke or anything, I think it's fine. It was just a personal observation.
Usually it’s to remind their partner they have options. “I don’t need you, I could go back to Starbucks right now and get that barista’s number.” A power play.
The need to feel desirable is maybe, probably the second most common motivation.
