I think you are making this up.

Keep stum and gather evidence. Keep a diary. If you merely ask about a couple of stray hairs (he will deny anyway) you have nothing else to fall back on. You need to be able to present several incidences. Reduces the ability to wriggle out of the situation. (and keep the hairs in a plastic bag!!)

I fear I know the outcome. Good luck.

"Our sex life had dwindled over the years "
And does this upset you, or are you happy with the separate rooms and the lack of sex?
If you want sex, then talk it out with him, or go to Relate. But be prepared for not liking the outcome.
If you are happy, then leave it alone. And ignore the porn, that would be his business.

Yes I agree with mumofmadboys and don't jump to any conclusions. I'm sorry you are having these concerns though,

Well there’s really not a lot to go on He might have been watching porn to try and liven up his flagging sex drive perhaps a shaggy black dog visited him while he was chopping wood
As you don’t have a sex life and sleep in Different rooms maybe instead of getting angry and imagining things you need to sit down and see what you both want in your older age

Tell him you found two long black hairs in the bath and you wonder where they came from in a relaxed way and see his reaction.

I think the only thing you can do is ask him.

My hubby retired at 53 a few years ago with a decent pension I’m still working part time. He’s been amazing by doing all the washing, drying, some cleaning and cooking. He walks a lot and clay pigeon shoots a couple of days a week. For the last 6 months he’s chosen to sleep in the spare room, we are both bad sleepers and accepted this and secretly enjoy having a bed to myself, as I do get up early for work. Our sex life had dwindled over the years and he says he struggles to maintain an erection but I discovered he’d been visiting porn sites daily for months, I was furious and he begged my forgiveness and promised me he wouldn’t do it again. I’ve checked history on the computer and it’s all clean now or he covers his tracks! The reason I’m saying all this is I came home from work to my husband who’d just showered as he’d been chopping wood, in the bathroom in the bath was 2 very long black hairs, I’m blonde/gray, I clean the bathroom often and nobody uses it apart from me and my husband! Don’t know how to deal with this! ??
