Thank you, Vort.

I had more questions that I wanted to ask after this one, but I don't really want to anymore. The responses I've gotten have been largely curt and cold. I don't expect anyone to empathize, but I did expect some compassion. My mistake. In other words, in response to your curiosity about this being the one question that I would ask about my transgression, this is just the first question in a series that I wanted others' insight on. You're correct about the meaning of the thread title.

I appreciate everyone's responses and a few peoples' compassion. I am aware of what I've done. It has not affected my intelligence, only my spirit. Thank you all for responding.

No, it's a post in an advice forum. It seems as though I'm getting responses that have little to do with the question I posed, so I clarified.

I don't want to marry him. I used the word premarital in the sense that I had sex before I was married, not in the sense that I expect to marry him. It seems as though I'm being told that it really doesn't matter whether or not it's classified as fornication or adultery, but I disagree. The question wasn't if there is a difference or whether or not it makes a difference, but which I have committed.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums. I'm a 22 year-old, single woman, attending college in the Midwest. My question is this: I have had premarital sex with a nonmember who is in an unhappy marriage in which his wife has been unfaithful. Have I committed adultery or fornication? Autumnleaves
