Anyone who sleeps with someone else when married commits adultery.
Yes - being married and sleeping with someone else is adultery. No - withholding sex is not a form of neglect and does not give grounds to divorce - but that doesn't matter as Georgia is a no-fault state and you can get divorced if you marriage is "irretrievably broken"
