No matter who you are or who you’re married to, infidelity can wreak havoc on any relationship.

In this list, Taste of Country rounds up the greatest country songs about stepping out on your marriage — from both wives’ and husbands’ perspectives. From heartbroken ballads to revenge-thirsty scorchers, country music can do it all.

When it comes to cheating husbands, the queens of country music have the market locked down: Carrie Underwood, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Miranda Lambert are just a few of the great storytellers you’ll find in the list of songs about husbands who cheat.

Songs about cheating husbands told from the man’s perspective are fewer and farther between, though they do exist: Randy Travis, Tracy Lawrence and Brad Paisley all have examples in their catalog.

But the male perspective really shines in our round-up of songs about cheating wives, where stars like Garth Brooks, George Jones, Keith Urban and Toby Keith prove that they’ve mastered the art of the heartbroken cheating song.

In these songs, betrayal elicits all kind of emotions — from forgiveness and resignation to anger, and even potentially deadly retribution.
