Does having sexual encounters with another during separation considered adultery. My wife and I have been separated since the middle of May, I was under the impression that boundaries were set and we were not going to be pursuing other relationships or anything, that we would be working on ourselves and trying to save our marriage. I just recently found out that the same week we separated, she started having a sexual relationship with a mutual coworker and friend. Just need some insight from the guys because I don't want to get bashed on the other subreddits.
