Adultery is defined as sexual intercourse with a person other than your spouse. Many times people voluntarily separate and live their own lives. It is, however, better if you and your spouse enter in to a separation agreement becuase adultery can have an effect on other issues in a divorce like child custody, etc. Good luck.
