If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right.

You don't understand. It's not me that's married, it's him. So, I'm still innocent in God's eyes.

Well, it clearly depends on the circumstances, but I wonder if it "feels right" to be breaking your promise to your spouse. I suspect it would seem reasonably OK if he (or she) had broken faith first, or if you had an agreement to an "open marriage," as was fashionable back in the 1970s. Problem many people found with that was that one partner would want to close it down, and the other would say "we agreed." So what was assumed to be a big equality schtick turned out to be just another way for people to take advantage of one another.
Another angle: is the "vengeance" affair really fair to the third party? I mean, he (or she) may be expecting a divorce is in the works, and then find out the fight was patched up. And if you have kids . . .

it is wrong to feel good and good to feel guilty.
That about sums it up
Therefore, 3 cheers for feeling good and 247 thumbs down for feeling guilty about feeling good.
The only thing ones really needs is the Golden Rule, the rest of the rules follow that and some should be thrown out.

ahh dah people, the religious definition of adultry means to have sex outside of marriage. NOT JUST ABOUT SCREWING SOMEONE ELSE'S SPOUSE!! Look at the Golden Rule above, that covers screwing your neighbors wife. And half the other answers are just more crappy twisting the concept into a pretzel to suite your own fugging agenda............people, get a life and stop preaching what others do. Be concerned about your own screwed up lives instead of telling others what to do.
Religion is a highly personal matter, and for anyone to tell another that what they have done is wrong, based on religion, are some of the most selfish people in the world. Especially laying a guilt trip on them. I would appreciate it if you religious-o's would keep your religion to yourselves. The Bin Ladens and Bush's of the world are a prime example of out of control preaching.

Because that person has made a promise to his or her spouse to be faithful. If that person couldn't be faithful then they shouldn't have gotten married. Also if there are children involved it hurts them. What did those kids do to deserve being hurt by your actions? In a marrage situation there are always other people to consider than just yourself.

its wrong because you have already pledged yourself to stay true to another person... so when you commit adultery you are like breaking you vow to you spouse and thats just not right....i dont see how anyone could actually do that with a clear conscience....if you really dont want to be with that person anymore at least divorce him/her. dont put them through the pain of having your spouse cheating on you....!!!seriously

Sin like this is like pouring acid in the heart God gave you, but if you are dead already you will not feel this. Your question demonstrates the subtlety of sin, evil. Like Jesus said, "watch," and for GOOD reason.

adultery can be so wrong when it feels so right if your spouse is still in love with you and is expecting you to be still in love with him/her. why not work out a friendly, amicable settlement with your spouse?

Does it feel right to cheat on the person that you promised to be faithful to forever? Does it feel right to know that you may get a disease that will kill you?
Does it feel right to know that you may also give this disease to your spouse?

It doesn't feel right to anyone with a properly formed conscience.
