There can be a lot of reasons such as the influence of friends, upbringing (if they see their parents and/or siblings doing it, why can't they?), weakness of the flesh, boredom (or falling out of love) in the current relationship, and standard of living giving enough money to support more than 1 partner.
It's been going for so long, way back to our ancestors, and none of us can actually explain why. This is where personal judgment gets it allowing the person to decide if he/she should go for it.

Lack of intimacy and communication that affects the bedroom and causes distance between two people. This is a mutual responsibility to fix. However, there are the types of guys who just sleep around and are womanizers at heart and occasionally the marriage is over. If either of those situations are the case, the marriage is over. It might be possible to salvage the relationship in other situations, but a man or woman has every right to leave after an affair. With hepatitis and AIDS rates going up again, I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't do it anyway, but...

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.
Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... because it's happening TO YOU.
People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.
Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.
But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.
The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.
At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.
Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.
But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it.
I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.
Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.
Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can "make" love.
Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... not just a feeling.
So in my opinion, to sum things up, people look for love in all the wrong places done while they are married or into a relationship. Ending up in divorce and separation.

I think in most cases its because their is problems in the relationship already. Both men and woman like to feel they are loved. If they not get that feeling at home, they will go a long way to get that feeling another place. Maybe also because people not renew their sex life. Its the same day after day. Getting boring....

I think the reason why people cheat are because their not ready to be committed to someone they don't want to be with one person they want their cake and eat it too they want to be able to be with someone and have others they can't take commitment and if someone knows they can't be with just one person they shouldn't get their self in a relationship and cause the other one pain and grief

Lack of communication and attention. A person who is "very busy" and doesn't even have a spare time for his/her partner will most probably be cheated.
So if you really love your partner spent with him/her some quality time. That way the communication is in tact and for sure cheating has no place in his/her mind. ^_^

Yes the major root cause for this is "people put circles around them and working for them and not having a broader thinking " we can remove the circles by pushing to help others by small things in day to day life and when you practise it . you will be automatically following .. and the cheating tendency will broke out !!!

for some people, they like the new and old things just like old suck games, forget about. And cheating can be exciting for some people. it is a thrill for them to do something illegal or not right.

People want what is forbidden to them and they will find a way to get what they want, cheating including.
