Unless you are actually divorced from your husband I guess it could be considered adultery. So IMHO the answer is NO!

Yes but no one is put in jail for commiting adultry either

Are you serious?

Anyway, are you legally separated or are you separated as in "I'm here and he's there and so we're separated"?

If you are not legally separated you are handing your husband grounds for divorce IF he finds out and IF he cares.

If you are legally separated your agreement probably advises you can lead separate lives (and this qualifies as a separate life).

I know sex in the state of alabama is defined " sexual intercouse between a husband anda wife. vaginal penetration only" So anything other than that is illegal. so premarital sex or adultry would be illegal here. lol but i've never heard of anyone getting arrested.

Lowtax4eva disagrees: this has nothing to do with law, that's why i say this is a troll post, this is a moral issue


Confused by your statement (and perhaps you red flagged me because I red flagged you) that this "is a troll post, this is a moral issue."

This is not a moral issue; this is a legal issue/question posted on a legal board. The person who responded answered from his/her religious point of view but that does not change the question into a moral issue. He/she is entitled to state an opinion - so what if it's slightly off the direct path - ?

Trolls are by nature and description disruptive - and I see nothing disruptive about someone stating his opinion based on moral grounds. Threads often go off in another direction and I don't think you can police a public Board unless the posts are offensive - and maybe this is offensive to you.

If so the person who answered might have offended you but my objection is to the word "troll," which word I find insulting and dismissive.

If you are seperated and pending a divorce, if you have sex and not married, and there is more moral issue to the seperateion, like child custody

But they have not had adultry police for some time now. If you are asking can this effect your divorce, yes it could, depending on how hated and fighting the divorce is going to be.

as for an the troll issue, often people come and ask a question, hoping to evoke fighting or disagreement amount those that answer, so if we see a perosn asking alot of borderline trouble maker type of questions only, many do consider them a troll.

Hello wilddog:

Go stir it up on the religious boards. HERE, we don't care. This is LAW.

I agree with the majority here. I am currently separated and working trough the divorce process. I know that anything I do until I face the judge can be used to attack my character and be used at the divorce hearing. It is both a moral issue and a legal issue, yes it is adultery and no you won't get arrested. But it can seriously damage your ability to receive a fair split of the family assets as well playing a factor with any support payments. Good luck
