Adultery is not, strictly speaking, a crime in most places in the US (and almost universally not enforced in the few places where it is). It's often prohibited in the sense that it may be easier to obtain a divorce (or a favorable judgement in a divorce) if one spouse has committed adultery, but actual prosecution for it would be extremely rare to non-existent.

It's difficult to interpret your question, though, and in a jurisdiction where adultery is formally illegal and charges are commonly filed for it, they could be filed against a US resident who was guilty of it.

What percent of white men cheat?

The fact is that human beings are NOT monogamous by nature. Experts say that a gut instict is the most powerful indicator of a cheating lover. Adultery statistics state that 85% of women who feel their lover is cheating are correct. 50% of men who feel their lover is cheating are right. The first clue is seldom obvious. Typically, its a "feeling" that something is different. Cheating Spouse statistics confirm that 50-70% of married men have cheated or will cheat on their wives. However, 90% of Americans believe adultery is morally wrong. Sorry I couldn't find the exact number you were looking for. I hope this helps :)

Is it possible to be in love with 2 people?

From my experience when your in love with one person and life is happening you meet someone else that is just as great as your significant other but is completely different at the same time, this person has qualities that lover #1 does not have. I am not going to say yes or no because anything is possible but you may be in love with the different qualities that lover #2 has that lover #1 does not.


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).
