AL 301: ‘It is [sic] can no longer simply be said that all those in any “irregular” situation are living in a state of mortal sin and are deprived of sanctifying grace. More is involved here than mere ignorance of the rule. A subject may know full well the rule, yet have great difficulty in understanding “its inherent values, or be in a concrete situation which does not allow him or her to act differently and decide otherwise without further sin.”’

Adultery is an "irregular situation" and the Commandment not to commit adultrey is a "rule.'
Ezechiel 13:
[16] Even the prophets of Israel that prophesy to Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her: and there is no peace, saith the Lord God. ... [17] And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people that prophesy out of their own heart: and do thou prophesy against them, ... [18] And say: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to them that sew cushions under every elbow: and make pillows for the heads of persons of every age to catch souls: and when they caught the souls of my people, they gave life to their souls. ... [19] And they violated me among my people, for a handful of barley, and a piece of bread, to kill souls which should not die, and to save souls alive which should not live, telling lies to my people that believe lies. ... [20] Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I declare against your cushions, wherewith you catch flying souls: and I will tear them off from your arms: and I will let go the souls that you catch, the souls that should fly.
[18] "Sew cushions": Viz., by making people easy in their sins, and promising them impunity.-- Ibid.
[18] "They gave life to their souls": That is, they flattered them with promises of life, peace, and security.
[19] "Violated me": That is, dishonoured and discredited me. Ibid.
