I do think that other people can be driven to cheat by a neglectful significant other. While I'm sure that it must feel rotten to be neglected, I don't believe that it justifies infidelity. If you would rather be with someone else, break up with your current significant other.

This is not to justify cheating in any way at all, but I imagine, if it were easy to just dump your neglectful SO then more people would be shifting partners left and right..The reality is, however, that people stay in these relationships hanging on to the good times. They cling on to the hope that maybe there is a legitimate reason for the neglect. The begin to excuse their SO's lack of attention, and hope that maybe tomorrow the situation fixes itself. Rarely is this the case.
Nothing justifies cheating on an SO, but on the other side of things, just leaving a current SO to venture into the unknown has never been the easiest of tasks.
