To all the people saying extramarital affairs are acceptable.. what the hell?

The right to have consensual sex with whom one chooses is a pretty important personal freedom.  If someone promises to stay married to their spouse for the rest of their life and subsequently breaks that promise by divorcing them, I wouldn't say that was immoral because a promise isn't sufficient, IMO, to forfeit the right to leave a marriage one doesn't want to be in anymore.  I'd say the same about having an affair.
