I read somewhere, not sure where, that there was a case of PTSD that stemmed from a man who was placed into daycare, since his stay-at-home mother had to go back to work. He felt like it was abandonment, so I would say yes infidelity can cause PTSD. It's probably quite different than PTSD stemming from abuse however. But I know I would probably have a nervous breakdown if my husband cheated on me.
