What possible damage can adultery do?

Last time I tried it the wife thumped me and I didn't get a decent dinner for months.

Devastating emotional hurt at betrayal of trust, perhaps?

Any social effects?

Looks like everyone's got bored with troll feeding.

Cheating on one's partner can do a lot of emotional damage, not only to the partner but any kids involved. Fortunately my husband and I have been faithful to each other for the whole of time we have been together.

What about the times when you've been apart? ;)

Quite!
Also agree with floo, who said much the same.
Social effects - dunno, but I suppose if it was accepted it would become the 'norm', and it really isn't like that.

One thing about my husband is that he is totally honest, too honest for comfort sometimes. If he had cheated he would have told me in the minutest detail, explaining exactly why he felt the need to do so. As for me I have never had the slightest inclination to cheat on him. When I was 13 I swore blind I never wanted to have a boyfriend and marry. But to this day I still wonder exactly what it was about him, which made me renege on that assertion.

Life's like that I was determined to get married wearing the Kilt but I went on a shopping trip with my wife and mother in law to be and ended up with a suit.

It is highly unlikely that if he was dishonest enough to cheat on you that he would be honest enough to tell you.
Cheating is a form of dishonesty... So you cannot make that assertion. He may have truly loved this other person and thought that what you do not know will never hurt you.

Sass as you don't know my husband, as usual have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about!
As I said my husband is the most honest person you could meet, uncomfortably so, as I have said before, possibly because he appears to have Asperger's syndrome. Besides which, he wouldn't have had time to cheat on me, even if he felt inclined, as academic work was his main love, and the only day he took off from it, was Christmas Day. He even took it on holiday, much to my irritation.
