Now, my answer is based on the level of commitment. Plenty of couples out there aren't fully committed to each other. If you don't feel really connected to that person, or if it's not mutual, cheating is a lot easier to do, for both parties.

Well first off, what are you calling cheating - is cheating being dishonest about outside sex, or is cheating ANY sex that takes place outside of two people in a relationship, even if they both know and approve?
Secondly, I think that's a bit of a simplistic appraisal. I can have all the commitment in the world for someone, emotionally and romantically, but get tired of their penis (or the presence thereof, since I'm bisexual) now and then. It has absolutely nothing to do with my love for them, no more than it does if they insist upon making me pizza to eat every night, and I get tired of the same dish night after night. In my opinion, I think it's entirely possible to be completely in love and committed to one relationship, yet want variety sexually with other people.

But if you're in it for the long run (aka marriage), well, it'll definitely be harder. heh. Or maybe, you're just denying your real level of commitment to your partner, and to yourself.

Does this go for purposefully open marriages, in your opinion, as well? Are you saying that you believe that acting upon any desire to sleep with someone else while in a relationship directly correlates to a lack of commitment?
