Your Cheating Heart is an index, not a trope.


* YourCheatingHeart: Bob is a serial adulterer, to the point that when Gwen catches him in bed with yet another woman, he actually tries to convince her that it would be better to let the affair continue rather than risk him just going through another string of covert affairs.
-->'''Gwen:''' We've done this scene too many times, Bob. It's lost its entertainment value.
