From the amount of questions that lead to infidelity or away from the marriage, is this considered a major cause or a symptom of something bigger?

I think it's most definitely a huge symptom. That's not the only cause, however. Because any person who was okay with who they were and okay with their marriage would probably understand that this is normal in a lot of marriages, and in order to not be ignored or taken for granted, they would have to communicat with their loved one.

Yes it plays a part, but if there was open and honest communication, the feelings of being ignored and taken for granted would have already been addressed. It is not always only these things that lead us into temptation, there will always be floozies and hotties to tempt us as well.

SORRY BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A COP-OUT. I think
if your going to cheat you'll cheat it doesn't matter what the other person is doing. Yes it may have a small part in the whole sceanario but really you have to work at a marriage.
If you feel this way than it is your responsibilty to tell your spouse no one is a mind-reader and work on it from there.
Really that is why we have god and prayer to give us resistance to temptation.

It could lead to it, and it may be an underlying reason, but it isn't the end all and be all. Temptation will come no matter what is going on in your life. We all have our breaking points, and if we are caught at the right moment then we are all very vulnerable to giving in.

My answer to your question would be yes, when my husband and I first got married, and after the birth of our daughter, he worked lots of hours and then worked out at the gym, he was hardly home, and I kept talking to him about how I felt, and he would not listen, so I was tempted to having an affair with someone, anyone!!!
But instead of that, I left him, and took my daughter up-state to live with family and filed for a legal seperation, and it took many, many, months and after talking and working things out, we reconciled our marriage and renewed our vows, and we will be celebrating our 16 year wedding anniversary this February!!!!!
I never stopped loving him, just hated the person he had become.

It leads to unhappiness, which leads to people trying to remedy their unhappiness. Some do the right thing and take it up with their spouse. Some look elsewhere.
Yes it is a major cause of it.

Infidelity can't be blamed on the person its committed on. It's only to blame the person who commits it.
The person being unfaithful has deeper issues they need to work on with a counselor, medication, emotional support, etc.

Sometimes. But that's just an excuse. People should be channeling that energy back and work on their marriage. Not to look else where.

We often seek outside attention (sometimes in the form of sex) when we feel certain needs are not being met at home. It could be lack of sex, lack of communication, lack of compassion, lack of interest or spending time together.

It might for some people but I was always true to my marriage vows. I am now a widower.
