Infidelity




According to recent usages, infidelity or '''unfaithfulness''' is a voluntary failure to comply with tacit or explicit sexual (or, less commonly, emotional) Mores , such as commitment to Monogamy . In Polyamorous relationships this commitment is often to the group.

Different Couples (or groups)—and even different individuals—may have different ideas of what constitutes infidelity. For example, a person may not want his or her partner Flirting with anyone else, may accept that but draw the line at Petting , may be comfortable with their partner having only Oral Sex , or may allow them Sexual Intercourse with others, or something in between; additionally, a person who identifies as Heterosexual may accept his or her Partner engaging in Homosexual but not heterosexual acts with others, or ''vice versa''.

Infidelity within Marriage is often called " Adultery ."
