I'm also in SC and that sounds painfully familiar. I didn't fight it when my XH went after me for the same thing because it shortened the wait period to 6mos. I could've cross filed against him for the same reason but I just wanted O U T.
The kicker? We HAD that clause in our separation paperwork. Didn't matter.

It is not the party seeking alimony that is having the affair. It is the party that will have to pay the alimony.

Renee,
I didn't fight it either..LOL! I said the same thing.... I said "damn, that shortens our time frame.. uh..okay!".....
We used my room-mate as the "witness"....LOL!... The only thing I regret is that he used it for grounds of CUSTODY.. which he sat there and told me and my father he would never do...... (DUMB ME).. If I had a good attorney at the time.... he would had told me to NEVER do that.... I had to get David Wilkins after that.... (US Amb. for Canada now).
You know, I've heard that even though it's in the papers they still can file for post sep. adultry..... A Lawyer friend of mine told me that....What's the point? LOL!..... again... easiest state to marry...(Including family) and hardest to divorce.....

Yes - my XH did a couple of things he told me he would never do also. Funny how when he didn't want me he was so very civil, but when I gave it up and didn't want him, his attitude did an about face.
Ah well, thanks to my lawyer and a little thing called condonation, his games did not succeed....

Even if you were to get half his income it's not enough to live on. Start making some plans for the future so that you can take care of yourself. After all if he were to die in a year or 2 the question would be moot. Count any alimony that you are awarded as a bonus and fight for it if you believe in it, but do not put yourself at someone else's mercy for your support!
--------------------
When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.

I can't resist. Have you been with the bf or the kidney for a year? Sorry. Congrats on the kidney.
But whether he can end spousal support or not due to cohabitation depends on your settlement agreement or court order. Mine said I can stop paying when my ex cohabitated.

in Tennessee alimony is given when the awarded spouce is in school... Adultry all you need is the sircumstance. ( Im getting my wife on it) if she spends one night under the roof of another single male no proof that they were in bed together is consider adultry martial misconduct, it will be filed as Irrec. Diffrences and adultry being the grounds for it and abandonment. adultry or not doesn't affect the amount of alimony its all calculated like child support, this is for Tennessee anyway.
