While bad relationships are probably the most likely cause for a spouse to cheat, it is not at all uncommon for an affair to occur even in a loving relationship, especially after having been with the same partner for many years, and all that newness and luster has worn off. It is very common in the workplace, where a woman spends more time of her day with her work colleagues than with her husband. It can start out as a simple friendship, and soon enough emotions begin to develop, and then that long lost excitement is rekindled that we all have when beginning a new relationship. I have seen this happen countless times in my place of work over the past 20+ years.
So you see, it doesn't have to be the typical ridiculous scenarios that are manifest in most horribly written NTR games. Besides, I don't even think it is possible for Roman Hume to write anything badly. It's not in his blood.

We must have different definitions of "not at all uncommon" and "very common".
I would say it is uncommon for an affair to occur in a loving relationship, and it's not common in the workplace for a woman in a loving relationship to have an affair.
My "work wife" and I have never done anything like that. We know each other's spouses, and have no desire to hurt them just to bump uglies.
While in a loving relationship, it never happens intentionally, it develops slowly. At first it starts out as emotional cheating, which can eventually lead to the act, and the excitement of something new takes over like a drug. I have myself been that workplace predator on 4 occasions. I am not proud of that and I don't do it any more, since I have matured and gotten past selfish desires. Not to mention it is a really fucked up thing to do, and a very dangerous game to play for all parties, as jealousy is an extremely potent emotion.

Actually, you're right and wrong at the same time, the only thing is that you assume mc can only be a good partner in the love path. Even if Emily needs a reason to cheat as you say, you should realize that admitting to Emily (in the first evening) that you cheated on her actually increases her love stat noticeably. The reason is understandable, in this case MC may be a dick but he actually just didn't want to lie and deceive Emily. So she still loves him, but what about giving him a lesson nonetheless ? Or even just her asking him to let her do it with someone else (because fairness), leaving the player the choice ? In that case it may be closer to swinging as you said though, since she wouldn't do it against his will. I also prefer swinging.
Anyway, I'm ok with pretty much anything RomanHume wants to do, he'll follow his own inspiration.
I just wanted to point out that it could actually logically happen here.
I thought that this update will be about Cassie... so now 4-5 months till Cassie update if this comes out soon...

Yay, more Atherin fan art!
Cassie looks a little miffed, though! "... neighbor's ... Daddy, you are NOT cumming in me this time!"

I submit that it may happen more than you may realize, perhaps.
The "loving" part of a relationship could be more emotionally stable than satisfying beyond how well they mesh day-to-day. You can experience a "dead bedroom" with someone who you love deeply, for example. Even small bumps in the road for an otherwise ideal relationship can make a partner wonder about how green the grass is on the other side for a small time ... which is all that's needed when one of their co-workers decides to take advantage and fill that temporary gap.
Even beyond those situations, circumstances of working closely together can bring attractions into one's range of considerations for a co-worker where they didn't previously exist, making opportunities for working together suddenly take a turn neither of you truly planned to have happen. I've seen all sorts of permutations of this among married co-workers, married+single co-workers, single+single co-workers and even experienced the strength of that lure myself (both as single and married.) As someone who likes to keep their shit together, it took a lot of soul-searching to realize what was happening to me and how easily + fast things could have gone in other directions with married and single co-workers in a few, suddenly too-chummy work relationships, if I just went with the flow we were (accidentally?) swimming together.
On thing that flirting with such paths gave me was a view into a world beneath the veneer of relationships we see, where I learned of more sleeping around than I ever imagined beyond the typical, short-term affairs within our departments that people would loudly whisper about every 5 years or so when they came up. It's like the reality beneath the surface of society's stiff upper lip on what marriage represents, I feel - goes far beyond any single workplace, of course.

2020-02-15 News
It's that time again where I figure I owe you all a bit of news.
As most of you know by now, I spent much of my week fighting a touch of a chest cold. Fortunately the only thing that interfered with was streaming (as I had no voice and was tired as hell). But the render work continued unabated.
This week saw the completion of over 150 new renders for the chapter which brings us within sight of the end. Since the scenes were particularly dark, that's about 20 minutes a render. So for at least 50 hours this week my system has been tied up churning out pretty images like the ones above. And I have to say, I'm very pleased with the final results.
I still have about fifty or so images left to go, but then the rendering is done and we can move on to post production work on Monday.
New Artist Update
So, remember when I was all excited to tell you that I had hired on four new artists to help with the game?! Turns out, I bit off a lot more than I could chew. Besides having to take development time away from building the infrastructure to manage this new crew, I also had to take some time away from development to reformat my scripts and generate production notes to help steer the artists towards the vision. This has caused a bit of a delay.
However, these guys have proven to be incredibly fast!!!!! Already I've got over 200 submitted new images that I need to finalize and render. And every time they turn in work, I have to stop work on Amanda and quickly prep the next round of images for them to work on!
So yeah, I bit off more than I could chew, but, I insist on choking down every bite! The upside is that we are seeing production gains across four chapter simultaneously. So while it may be delaying the current chapter somewhat, we will see new story for Jane, Lupita, Monica and Emily much sooner than originally anticipated!
Much like when I began doing renders all by myself, I think as I get into the groove and adapt to this new workflow, there will be less interruption in the future. Splitting my days between writing and rendering I think will make a big difference.
What's next?
My goal (not deadline! I don't do deadlines), my GOAL, is to have Amanda's chapter finished and released this week. I'm already anticipating the disappointment between development time and the amount of content. It has taken several months to get this out but I hope I can count on some understanding.
Two holidays, a new job, and setting up four new artists to work on the game have all contributed to the delays of this production. But I hope that the quality of the content, the images, the writing and the opportunities present will help contribute a little slack in criticism. (If not, lay it on me, I can take it!)
Next week I want to do a stream of post production and then start in on streaming the work I'm doing on Cassie's chapter.
With many of the challenges out of the way, I'm eager to see how fast we can start cranking out new material going forward.
Again, thank you for your patience, and we'll talk soon.
As always, I salute you!
All wait is forgiven for a bit of Amanda :3

It is a random chance when having vaginal sex without protection. A bit like real life.
