If youre in a marital relationship with someone and dating someone else, that is not adultery. The independence of dating during the period of separation is provided. The adulterous part comes when you have separated yourself from your spouse for this sole reason.

Is dating while separated considered cheating?

Couples who are separated, whether informally or legally, are still married in the eyes of the law, regardless of how independent their lives have become. This means that if either spouse has a sexual relationship with another person during the separation period, they have probably committed adultery.

Can my husband record my conversations?

The basic rule to remember is that you cannot record conversations between your spouse and other parties without consent (knowledge) of at least one of the parties. Hiding a voice-activated recorder in their car, gym bag, or even in your own home to try to catch him or her with their paramour is illegal.
