There is actually something worse than cheating... worse than your long-term spouse sleeping with someone else.
Finding out by the police that your long-term spouse has contracted a random person to kill you so they can collect your money, lied to everyone how he die and fake tears at your funeral.
It's obvious cheating is bad but I wouldn't call it the worst thing you can do to your partner. The worst thing would be finding out your partner wanted you dead.
