[This is such a sensitive issue that Diarmuid's gone to the trouble of changing his user name from "Lancer" to the less conspicuous but creatively bankrupt "Question". Whether or not he's still identifiable through some other means is a mystery to him but he's willing to take that chance to find the answers to something that's begun to weigh on his mind as of late.]

Is Bonding with someone without your other Bonded partner or partners knowing the equivalent of being unfaithful? I understand that it can be separate from a romantic relationship but it's just as emotionally involved, is it not?

I don't think there can be a general answer to it, really ... but if you look at it purely from the perspective of the likely outcome, how well could a Bond be hidden from another in the first place? What would be the likely effect on the existing Bond? Or how might a person who's been tricked into Bonding feel if they found out they were lied to about the other person not having a partner?

From what I understand, Bonds aren't just formed and set in place. They're affected by the emotions and desires of the people in them. A Bond that was formed on a shaky foundation ... would it last in the first place?
