I don't really understand what people mean when they say they like it as a kink but not as a trope of romance

For me I would say it's basically, what is the genre of the fic? If it's a smutty fic that's written for the purposes of being hot, infidelity can work because infidelity can be hot. I don't necessarily care about the emotional connection between the characters for those types of fics. That's not the point.

On the other hand, if it's a romance fic that's about interpersonal drama and is trying to get us onside with the romantic relationship with the two characters, that's where I don't think infidelity works. Because I want to like the characters in a romance fic and root for them to get together and that's nearly impossible for me to do when infidelity enters the picture.

Ah, okay, thank you for explaining. :)

So you and I are polar opposites in our taste then. Infidelity is completely unhot to me, so without the strong emotional connection between the character, infidelity is nothing but squick for me.

I have to root for the characters. Their relationship has to be such that it feels wrong they're not together, and I have to believe that they can be happy together for the long haul--if they can get their shit figured out and stop being their worst selves out of weakness brought on by desperation.

It's different for me because I want to read about the verrrrry intense romantic love, the kind that's so wild and desperate you'll throw morality out the window and burn your life down just to have a chance. You might feel guilty about it (I like the angst) but not enough to stop, because you >can't.
