I'm curious about this moral dilemma. A married person is having an affair. Their spouse doesn't know, and they continue having sex with their spouse. In this situation, is their spouse's consent (to the sexual act) informed consent?

It’s arguable whether informed consent in the total capacity used here can ever be achieved. I’m willing to be most people aren’t going to tell their SO about that nasty person they banged at the bar one night.
I agree. But if they don't tell their SO, & it's something they know their SO would consider relevant in terms of their consent to sex - in other words, given the information, they'd probably say no - then at the very least it leaves further sex on a dodgy moral ground.

Agreed but I can guarantee most people have engaged in something that their SO would consider significant historically and not told them. Taking randoms home from a bar, that one real nasty girl you had sex with while drunk, etc.

I guess the overall point here is that it isn’t rape. Rape is non consensual sex. Me not telling a girl I’ve had sex with her best friend would be dishonest, but it wouldn’t make said sex non-consensual. People have a right to privacy in personal matters.
