 People cheat not because they are unhappy or happy.
They cheat because they have low willpower and they succumbed to those temptations.
Sex and emotions are very strong powerful forces and when faced with with those temptations,many men will fail the test.

Because they're not really happy at all. Or at least he's not.

 "why it is that people in happy relationships cheat?"
Beacuse they're actually not Happy... * oh but he is. you don't know them like i do*
Really? because theres this wonderful invention called acting.. also known as lying.
stay togehter for fear or being alone. cheat because you end up not being happy. new person makes you happy. not wanting to leave said relationship due to... uh.. baggage?

I don't think people in loving, committed relationships do cheat. Why would they want to?
I think your close friend is not telling you the full story.
Clearly there is something missing from his relationship that he has either not tried to resolve with his partner, or tried to but failed. Perhaps she is the one loving and committed, but it is your close friend who is not emotionally mature enough to sort out the issue, but rather resorts to cheating.

Basically, where the relationship with their partner is a good one, then it all comes down to a combination of seeking sexual variety and downright selfishness and greed.

because some women still make men feel like they are wanted sexually and will do everything that the other woman will not some women will not have completed oral sex with her man and a lot of other women will... I personal didn't want to cheat on my ex gf but she wouldn't do oral sex at all and that's why i did it
