Garland, TX asked in Divorce and Family Law for Oklahoma

Q: My wife has given me permission to sleep with other people. Is this still an affair to the courts in Oklahoma?

We are living at different homes and she explicitly said I could sleep with other people, which is saved in a text message. Is it possible for her to attempt saying I cheated on her despite having her permission?

A: I agree with Pete, and would add that there is a criminal statute for infidelity, but it is not enforced anywhere in the State of Oklahoma that I have ever heard.
