I think that they are either in denial, as you say, or are hopelessly optimistic. Some people just refuse to see the possibility of such things in the people that they love. And while spouses should inspire trust in each other, trust can never legitimately be ABSOLUTE.
A person can never accurately guage how another will act in EVERY given situation, no matter how well they know that person. Add to this that almost every person's definition of cheating differs, and there is the potential for things that are deemed "cheating" by one spouse and "innocent" by the other.
While you can say that they probably wouldn't cheat, or that you'd never expect them to cheat, there is no validity to the claim that someone else would NEVER cheat. But, we all hope that they won't.

I disagree. People who have been together long enough and have a healthy relationship are in-tune with each other's need and wants. Cheating is usually caused by neglect in one area or another, and the aforementioned relationship nips that right in the bud.
I think many people are in denial about the type of relationship that they do have. Most would like to think they have this type of relationship, but they probably do not. (Which I've found happens quite frequently in one's youth.)

I think when someone says that phrase, they have no reason to think they would. It's called complete trust. Things change, so it's not denial, it's just a gut feeling at the time. Time will only tell but you can't go around and FEAR that they'll cheat on you. Only you can determine if YOU will cheat.

i do not think that they are in denial when they say that there love one will never cheat. some people are really in love and highly sexually compatible to where they dont even have a reason to cheat. most cheating is done either by someone that has a very permiscuous (or addicted to sex) or because there sexual partner is not fullfilling enough in bed. a really freaky woman is known for trapping a man because she keeps him so tired that he doesnt have the energy to go and have sex with someone else.

not in denial they just trust their partner. I have five sisters and if two of them were to tell that, i would say that they were in denial. However, the other 3 and myself, i would say no. unless you have reason, youshould not have fear that your partner will cheat. plus if you think that person will, why are you with them? how are you ever going to be happy when you are constantly worried if they are cheating.
so it depends on the person, not everyone is the same.

Well the last statistics I seen was; 28% of married men cheat on their wives, but 35% of married women cheat. More and more fathers are finding out through DNA that they are not the natural father of "their"? children.
Overall, going by the above statistics, men would be in more denial than women!

Your right. I never thought of it that way. I have said that before that my husband would never cheat. I've said it because he has literally stopped dating someone when he found out they cheated in a past relationship. He doesnt tolerate cheaters because he is a firm believer in ONCE A CHEATER ALWAYS A CHEATER! So I guess by this I assume that he would never cheat on me, but you are right. Noone has complete control over someone elses actions, so it is possible that he could. I dont THINK he would, but nothing is impossible.

You definitely can't predict with 100% certainty what another person will do - ever - but you can be relatively assured if you know the person well enough.
I think that in a marriage where both parties really know each other well and are very good friends as well, one party could make a claim like that with relative certainty.

No, I don't think everyone who says that is in denial. Some are, some are not. If you know a person's integrity well enough, you can know with reasonable certainty if they'd cheat or not.
