Grounds for divorce means it is "unlawful" under Common Law, even if not punished by jail time.Nay, under state law, not all individuals, whether they are legally "adult" or not know what is good for themselves, and therefore the state would overrule your private agreement or "honesty".Moot point, because whether you tell or not you are still doing the same physical act, which is inherently infidelitous regardless of what people "agree on or not".Is not cheating, I sexually identify as poly-amorus, and come home to my wife every night, so it is not her business if I love others as well as her, she is tolerant and not bigoted of people of different sexualities.
It is only poly is you are honest with your wife about what you do. It doesn't mean you have to share details. But she has to know you are fucking other women. Otherwise it is just cheating, being unfaithful, lying and breaking your marriage vows.
You seem to think that "consent, but that is not true - under Common Law the state can legislate the morality of behavior whether or not people "consent" or otherwise, and would not recognize your behavior on the basis of some non-legally binding "private agreement" between two parties
That would be like saying that beating your wife with baseball bat is not "abuse" so long as you tell her about it first, what sillyness
If two married people have sex, and two people who are married to other people have sex, it is the same act. Sex before marriage and sex after marriage is the same act. The difference is the vows and the promises. Those vows and promises matter. Honesty matters.
According to state, people whether they are "adults" are not cannot agree to such and such a behavior and have it recognized in court - your own private "contract" is not legally binding.
This be proof of why people in New Rome may need strong state to guide them in correct direction, since they under understand their law, and ignorantly believe themselves as capable of sound moral judgment without guidance of better educated rulers.
In 29 states adultery is not illegal. It might be grounds for divorce, but it is not against the law. And in the states which have laws against it, it is prosecuted so rarely that it does not matter.
Your claims of "common law" are nonsense. We have federal, state and local laws. If it is not an actual law on the books, it is not illegal.
So no, it is an unlawful act - people engaging in it are out of boundaries with law.
Given that polyamorous behavior leads to increased risk of moral and health diseases such as STDs, abortion, or paternity confusion in the event of pregnancy - it is in state's vested interest to legislate against it for the good of the common.
