Cheating is a symptom. If life were perfect, no one wouldld have an emotional void or need that would compel them to cheat.
Not in all cases, but many, cheating is a symptom not an end to itself. If one, or both, of the the people in a relationship are not getting what they need from the relationship, the will be trouble to follow. The trouble may be depression, substance abuse, gambling, cheating, or some other form of needful behavior.
Sure, there are a small percentage of people who cheat just to cheat. We all know one or two of those. The bigger picture of adultery is something more complicated where everyone is a victim. No. it does not excuse the behavior, but it helps to better understand it. In a perfect world if someone is not getting what they need emotionally, they talk with their partner and all is well. Since the world, and people, are not perfect this sometimes does not happen. Sometimes the cheater can't even process that they are missing something, but still feel the buried emotions.
So a cheater is a cheater? Sometimes, but sometimes the cheater is also a person reaching out and reaches to the wrong place for what they are missing.

I think cheating is the most awful thing anyone could do to one another and I will never stand by and forgive someone who cheats on me. Lack of communication is a big thing in married couples (I think) and it's hard but they need to talk things out and work it out instead of keeping it inside and lying to one another!!!

Sometimes they cheat because they have gotten used to each other if they've been married for a long time and they want something new... That's why you need commmunication in a marriage and excitement to keep it going

Because of boredom. They get bored with each other, the initial 'magic' has worn off. . . . Men take a lot for granted, and women are always looking for the perfect guy. Paying close attention to each other and each other's needs is one way i know to ensure that it doesn't happen. Making sure that your spouse ALWAYS knows how much that they mean to you. The (proverbial) kiss before you go off to work in the morning is VERY important. . . . Talk together, dream together, and play together. Make time for one another.

Guys cheat cuz they are guys. I think they get bored. Girls cheat because they aren't getting the attention at home. Thats just my opinion.
