When a spouse commits adultery, most of the time, if not always, they do not inform the other
about the affair. And if the same spouse continues to have sex with his/her spouse, after having
sex with another person, other than their spouse, and infects the spouse with an STD; unless the
spouse uses protection for the other spouse, the spouse that committed the affair has, for all legal
purposes, "offensive contact" with the other spouse. WOW, that was a mouth full one!

Texas law recognizes two different forms of assault. First, there is the bodily injury contact,
which requires injury, and second there is the offensive contact, which does not. The latter could
be in a form of a sexually transmitted disease (STD). For instance, if your spouse has an
extramarital affair while you are married to them, you in fact may have a cause of action against
your spouse, if you become infected with an STD. Many spouses stay on abusive relationships
even after this phenomena.

The reason why a spouse may have a legal cause of action against a spouse is simple. How many
of you would have sex with your spouse if your spouse would tell you, "honey, I just had sex
with another person, I may be infected with something, but let’s have sex." It would be hard to
imagine that any one of us would allow such a intimate contact with ourselves, after our spouse
breaks that trust. Many, if not all of us, would consider that offensive.

This type of behavior has terrible consequences, not only for the spouses, but also for the
community in general. It is not only immoral, but it is also unethical. Spouses should not have to
suffer because of an indiscretion of the other spouse, or a "one night" stand.
