Yes, in some countries adultery is a crime. In Saudi Arabia, you can be stoned to death for committing adultery.
In Anglo-Saxon England, a man was "allowed" to kill another man whom he caught in bed with his wife. Provided he did the killing within three days of finding out, the husband was not punished.
When the Vikings ruled part of England, they introduced an additional law that an adulteress should have her nose cut off. So everyone could see at a glance which women in the community had been adulterous!
There is no "law against" adultery in modern Britain. However, a person whose husband or wife commits adultery can get an instant divorce in the family courts. If the adulterer is the one who wants a divorce, he or she has to wait five years. So while adultery is not exactly illegal, modern law does seem to discourage it.

Can a military wife be charged with adultery?
Military wives, or any individuals, can be charged with adultery depending on the laws and regulations of their jurisdiction. However, it ultimately depends on the specific circumstances and legal framework governing adultery in their country or state. Military law, such as the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) in the United States, may have specific regulations related to adultery that could result in charges for military personnel, including their spouses. It is crucial to seek legal advice if facing such charges.

May you live with your girlfriend while separated in the state of NC?
Any NC attorney would advise against it. There are potentially too many legal problems that can result. As long as you're still legally married, it's technically adultery. Unless the laws have changed very recently (and at one point, they were trying to change it) NC still has laws against adultery, so it's a crime (although admittedly, no one has been charged with it in many, many years). NC also allows adultery as grounds for divorce. NC divorce courts do not look fondly on those who commit adultery. The law states that if the supporting spouse commits adultery, alimony must be awarded to the dependant spouse, and if the dependant spouse commits adultery they are barred from receiving alimony (NC is the only state I know of where that's the case). NC also still allows for criminal conversation and alienation of affection lawsuits, so your spouse can sue your lover. Don't do it! I personally know a man in NC who was divorced on the grounds of adultery and his wife pretty much got everything they had, and she also gets a a nice, big alimony payment for the rest of her life (unless she remarries and she won't because then the alimony stops).
