We need a lot more argument than this to start a TRS. Doubly so because you'd need to claim/prove that not all cheating is story relevant. Otherwise the argument is invalid.

Your Cheating Heart isn't really a trope, it's just a topic: It's just any cheating. There's nothing specific about Your Cheating Heart. Cheating is handled a lot of different ways, and it's not all just one trope.
I propose Your Cheating Heart and Good Adultery, Bad Adultery should be turned into specific cheating tropes. For example (some vague ideas that definately need critique, but)
And then they should all be put in an index with the couple other cheating tropes we already have: Mistaken for Cheating, Affair Hair, Lipstick Mark, Affair Letters, The Mistress, Cuckold, Cheating with the Milkman
(And I'm not claiming that not all cheating is story relevant; I'm claiming that not all cheating is the same trope. For a simile, there are several different tropes that bad parents fall under; they're not all the same—you've got Abusive Parents, Parental Neglect, Archnemesis Dad, When You Coming Home, Dad?, ect.)
