You know what I use the term evil to refer to, and so...whatever opinion you or the housecat may have on the matter, there either is or isn't malice. Could be the case either way, like I said. The basic difference between doing a bad thing, and an evil thing.
Okay, you think the act of being unfaithful might be a bad thing... why, according to moral realism ? and what's the difference between bad and evil?
I don't think it's even honest to dispute this, the act of cheating without malicious intent can properly be regarded as evil, and I frankly don't think you would disagree if you weren't a moral realist.
How about we ask a woman in this thread what they think of the unfaithful husband if he went undetected?
What do you think, @arewethereyet, of a husband cheating on his wife without her or anyone else ever knowing, and without anyone, anywhere, being physically harmed, is this act inherently evil ? (Y/N).

Of course I do. Any person who considers themselves a theist would not agree with or even tolerate moral realism, we think disobeying a supernatural being is a very evil act; this obviously contradicts moral realism.
