Expectation of fidelity
Although there is generally an expectation for a spouse not to have sexual relations with anyone other than his spouse(s), historically, in most cultures, this expectation was not as strong as in the case of wives, a situation which was evident in legal codes which prohibited adultery, with male adultery often being criminalized only if “aggravating” circumstances existed, such as if he brought his mistress in the conjugal home, or if there was public scandal. Today, a husband is not necessarily considered the breadwinner of the family,[by whom?] especially if his spouse has a more financially rewarding occupation or career. xvideos A breach of this expectation of fidelity is commonly referred to as adultery or extramarital sex.
