GABA is now about two affairs that are portrayed differently. Single "good" examples go under Sympathetic Adulterer. (This is correct, just removing a Flame Bait wick)


* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: It will almost always be perfectly okay for the hero/heroine to cheat on his/her partner/spouse, because said partner/spouse is a horrible, awful person. Conversely, it will always be despicable for the villain to cheat on his/her [[MarySue wonderful, perfect]] lover--played perfectly straight in ''The Wedding'', where the heroine cheats on her boyfriend with a man she meets on a business trip, but it is outraged when she comes home and finds him cavorting with another woman. He's regarded as a bastard and gets kicked out, while she ends up marrying the other guy at the end, in the wedding in question.
