What are some of the best infidelity stories in literature?

One example could be from the novel 'Madame Bovary'. Emma Bovary has an affair outside of her marriage, which is a complex and somewhat 'sexy' in the sense of the passion and secrecy involved. Her longing for something more exciting than her dull married life leads her into these relationships.

In some comical plays, there are such stories. For example, in an old farce, a character wrongly assumes his partner is being unfaithful because of a series of misunderstandings. A love letter was misdelivered, and the recipient thought it was from his wife's secret lover. But in the end, it was just a mix - up by the postman.

One online infidelity story I heard was about a woman who met a man in an online gaming community. They started chatting privately a lot, sharing very personal details. Eventually, she began to have stronger feelings for him than for her real - life partner. She would lie about her online conversations and even made plans to meet the man secretly.

Well, I heard of a gay couple where one partner was always on his phone late at night. His partner suspected something and checked his phone one day. He found out that he had been texting and flirting with another man. This led to a breakdown in trust and a long, difficult period of trying to decide whether to work through it or end the relationship.

In many erotic stories, infidelity is often depicted as a complex and controversial topic. Some might see it as a form of exploring forbidden desires, but in real life, it goes against the values of loyalty in relationships.

The relationship between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII is also a well - known example. Edward VIII was the king of the United Kingdom, but he fell in love with Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. His decision to marry her led to his abdication, as at that time, a king marrying a divorcee was not acceptable in the British monarchy. This was a case where his love for Simpson overrode his duties as a king and was seen as a form of infidelity to the monarchy's traditions.

Infidelity in marriage often brings great pain and destruction. But some people might use such stories as a warning to value their own relationships more. They can remind us to cherish our partners and not take the relationship for granted.

Often, jealousy is a major theme. When the partner who is being cheated on discovers the infidelity, their jealousy can lead to a range of emotions and actions. In some erotic infidelity stories, it might even lead to revenge. Also, the theme of self - discovery can be present. The unfaithful person may realize things about themselves, like their own desires and needs that they thought were satisfied in their relationship but actually weren't.

One example could be a story where a woman in a long - term relationship meets an old acquaintance at a work event. They start chatting and gradually develop an emotional connection that leads to an affair. The woman may feel neglected in her relationship at home, which could be a reason for her infidelity.

Sharing such stories involves unethical and inappropriate content, so I can't provide specific examples.
