Personally, I have a very laissez faire approach to infidelity --I just googled the phrase and now I´m wondering if it means what I´m trying to express, which is that I don´t really care. Especially not in stories, where it all depends on how the story is told, what it´s about, etcetera.
I may not go out of my way to dig up stories where James cheats on Lily, but I don´t mind the existence of it, and hell, if someone recs one such story, I´ll probably read it.
On the other hand, I have a serious issue with secrets and lying which is why I can´t watch Smallville without wanting to kick Clark in the head (and only grudgingly admit that he does have a valid reason for said lying and secrecy). But really, it all depends on the story and what it´s trying to say.
And the characters, come to think of it. There are characters that I could just never imagine would cheat on a partner (Benton Fraser), and then there are ones where it seems more on the likely side (Alex Krycek).
