exactly.

people cheat in relationships because they are not happy and/or fulfilled in the relationship. rather than cheat, they should work on the relationship. counseling and communication and whatever else is needed ..... when there is no hope for the relationship or when someone wants to move on, then they should be honest with their partner and end things before finding someone new.

Maybe you're being cheated on is because you're a boring person, humorless, inactive, dull witted, controlling, demanding, or religious zealot.
Don't cast all blame on your partner. Try some self-examination. You just might discover a reason.

okay lets say someone is some or all of the above. then leave them why stay with them an cheat on them.

many things are .... but as people grow, they can grow in different directions.

Yes I understand that. But my point was I think people use these things as justification to cheat. I agree with 'biomechanical' though 100%

I'm sorry, but if you don't have the balls to tell your partner what is wrong to help him/her change(if it can be changed), there's something wrong with the cheater in the relationship.

I mean, to me hearing "She cheated on me because I'm a boring person, so instead of breaking up with me, she slept with that guy." Isn't right.
Some people will not listen. Their self-esteem may be too low to accept faults.

Most people, when making promises to be faithful, have every intention of keeping their word. I think that most infidelity occurs, not because it is planned, but because people find themselves in situations where their emotions overwhelm them, like: being around someone who is sexually interested, being a lot of time 1:1 with someone else, opportunity, alcohol.
Ideally people supposed to have a will power to control their emotions and their actions. However, many people just can't. Many people cannot control their will power at all ( think about those that struggle and fail on dieting or quitting smoking ).

There's plenty of excuses to cheat; thrills, excitement, trying something new or different. Cheating is fun! But leave all your guilt (and moral) complexes out of it.
