If I remember correctly there are 3 things you can't do to save a life: illicit relations, take a life and idolatry. Meaning even that if you do find yourself in a situation where cheating on your wife would actually save a life then it will still be forbidden

Yeah, there's actually an explicit example in the talmud.

definitely prohibited

EDIT: actually this gemara is an example of saving ones own life, so maybe not
