and  a Dark one at that, very dark.  I don't think she 
considers  'Thou  Shalt Not Commit Adultery' as anything more than a 
joke.  Either her husband loves it, or if he doesn't, he accepts with 
it anyway.  He simply has no choice, the poor dear.
 

Erin again:
Well, not to be rude or anything, and I know that this is a popular 
reading of Bellatrix, but <speaks in small whisper> you do realize 
that there is absolutely no canon for it, right?  

The only broken marriage we've actually seen in canon was that of Tom 
Riddle's parents, and Tom Sr. didn't run off with another woman; he 
moved back in with his own parents.  So there's no evidence 
whatsoever that infidelity will ever be an issue in the books.

With that said, I must admit that I can now visualize a scene where 
Bella's husband has been killed (perhaps by Harry) and she's 
whispering "You took care of Rudolphus for me, now claim your 
reward..." before she disrobes.  Gaaah!  Sick mind, I know.
