Audience is an unfamiliar dimention altogether (here, a supine bracket representing a smile). As a reader, though, I doubt there is a matrimonial infidelity: one's output is, quite literally, out for good and not going anywhere. An audience can keep on courting just that. I think it was Nabokov to say that one ultimately writes for one reader - a future version of self. Everybody else is less significant. But I don't know.
