Adultery. Two-timing. Seeing someone on the side. Having an affair. ''Cheating.'' Whatever it's called, the act of having a romantic or sexual affair with someone other than one's established spouse or lover has ever been a source of drama in fiction and in real life. It has brought lovers together, but it has also torn lovers, marriages and even families apart, and it is one of the most common reasons for someone to end up killed. These tropes explore infidelity, the forms it takes, and the effects that it has upon people.

* PlayingSick: For the version of the trope where one member of a couple ([[AlwaysMale normally, a man]]) is on the mood, but the other ([[AlwaysFemale normally, the woman]]) feigns a sickness (normally, a headache) in order not to have sex. Usually, this will happen repeatedly, and it's implied (if not ''ex''plicit) that she doesn't really love or isn't attracted to him, or even that she's [[{{cuckold}} having an affair]] with someone else. Sometimes, when she's really invested in the excuse, she'll pop up a pill (normally an aspirin, but any other appropriate drug will do) to "treat" her "disease", and will even start foreplay before suddenly dropping off with the headache excuse.
