reader, anonymous, writes (23 April 2012): I believe there are a few reason why. One type of person cheats on their partner because they lack good morals, and can find a place in their belief system to do it. They do it because its fun/boosts their ego/opportunity etc. They lack respect for their partner. Then there is the person, who in most all circumstances would never cheat on their partner. No matter what. But after years of neglect and lack of love, or some other long term pain and heart ache, they may cheat because they need to feel some love and affection. Another type, is a person who had been cheated on, may cheat out of revenge, or to be able to cope with their cheating partner. One other circumstance, is if you are not with the person you truely love, and then you do meet someone that you fall truely madly deeply in love with.... you may cheat with that person. In that case, there is nothing you can do about it either. So only be with someone you love and who loves you.So, I believe, if your partner is the type of person that will cheat, there is nothing you can do about it, and if they are not the type of person to cheat, then keep the love and communication in your relationship.

 I'm not a cheater but most cheaters I've heard be honest about their straying say that their wife or husband just wasn't there for them anymore. They felt unappreciated, not listened to, unattractive and as if they weren't there. This made them feel as if they wouldn't really be missed if they checked out of the marriage for a while.
Then there is the other type of cheater. This type of person doesn't really care for anyone except themselves. They pursue their own needs and feelings at the expense of others and they don't care who they hurt or how. They are beyond help unlike the first type.

Feeling neglected. Feeling like he is cheating. It's usually about looking for love and affection that is missing from husband.

There are also others who have low self-esteem and may be "stuck" in a marriage where the husband does nothing to help maker her feel better about herself. As such, a woman may seek a relationship outside of marriage to make her feel better about herself, give her that sense of "I'm still beautiful".
There are also others who are in unhappy marriages but really, just can't get out either because of kids or family pressure (it happens)....even though they know they made a mistake, some are just too scared to walk away because they fear life may be too difficult to live alone. As such, they're unconsciously still looking for "the one".
