My marriage is good, and we are both totally against cheating. We cant stand people that cheat on their spouse. So no it doesn't happen in all marriages.

Yeap, it happens. Our parents and their parents had little opportunity to spend time alone with someone of the opposite sex. Men and women now work together and not as boss and secretary but as equals. They spend more awake time together than they do with their SO (significant other)s. They share the euphoria of their job well done. They share casual conversation that is not always about work. They begin to look forward to spending their day with someone that doesn't burn the roast and doesn't complain about money and the kids. The line is getting dimmer and when it is crossed it feels as natural as waking in the morning. The was no problem in their personal life or with their SO's until now. Neither set out to have an affair...it just happened. As this is a new part of our ever changing world we have few or no warnings of how this can and does happen. We have all learned about sexual harassment in the work place and we now need to learn how emotional affairs begin in the work place so they can be stopped before they sneak up and grab you.

If you made a comitment and you're married you should be responsible.I don't think cheating is correct even if you're just dating.If you are not well in the relationship then just be honest, get out and end the relation.Or else that couldn't possibly be a "good marriage"!The problem is that people believe everything must be perfect and that's some kind of uthopy!

Yes, cheating can occur for a variety of reasons and the least common is an unhappy marriage. Cheating is done to fulfill something with in the person who cheats. I've known cheaters who love their spouses and marriages and I've known people who were miserable in their marriage and CHOSE not to cheat. Bottom line, cheating is a choice.

My Opinion is No, I have been married for 20 years and I am just 38, when you take the marriage vows, it is committing to each other, for better or worse, til death do us part and all that in between, I think too many people get married and aren't fully committed. not only to the other person but to the vows that you have spoken, in front of god - family and friends. Its sacred and anyone who TRULY commits to marriage with another should be willing and able to honor their vows and not give in to temptation and "circumstance' and all the other things people throw out there that cause infidelity.
Marriage is for Life and Vows are Sacred, if my husband cheats, there is no forgiveness, there is no committment anymore, it will have been broken and our marriage will be over.
AGAIN, my opinion and my thoughts but thats how I feel on this subject.

Then it's obviously not a good marriage. One of the spouses might think so and be oblivious to issues that have brought about the "cheating" done by the other spouse.
Where there is trust and open communication, cheating shouldn't happen. If it does, than it wasn't true.

I think it's possible for there to still be a good marriage after cheating or an affair has happened... my parents are an example. They separated for a while but eventually got back together. Unfortuantely this doesn't happen for everyone of course, but it is possible.

I think about that all the time. I am a newly wed, and my husband owns the valet company outside of a strip club. He is practically a "god" when he goes in there. I have never been jealous before, and I know he married me so I shouldn't be worried, but sometimes I still am. I guess it depends on them and how they react to situations where they are close to temptation.

No, not in good marriages. That's why they are good. Marriage is hard work combined with a whole lot of forgiveness, but most people just cannot get past the lack of trust that cheating brings.
