if someone who is single is seeing someone who is married, ie they are having an affair or not even married ie engaged, is the single person classed as an adulter too? in other words can a single person be an adulterer?
the single person is dating, its the person they are seeing who is having the affair as they are decieving the person they are supposed to be in a relationship with
this is a common line of thinking, especially on AB, but I'm not sure it's true. My dictionary just describes adultery as sex (voluntary) between a married person and someone who's not their partner - either sex. And an adulterer is someone committing adultery. That tells me that your friend is an adulterer. It's not the same as infidelity - only the married partner is guilty of that.
