I don't like the way love is presented as some sort of magical thing that conquers all.
There are as many reasons to why people cheat as there are people who do it. Sometimes the reasoning behind it makes sense, other times it doesn't seem to make sense at all.
A lot of people seem to think that sex is secondary to love. It is and it isn't. I love my wife dearly, but if she decided she didn't want to have sex anymore, there'd have to be other solutions, or the relationship would not have a prayer. That's not putting sex before anything, it's just keeping all parts of the equation in mind.
Some people cheat even though they have a loving spouse at home, and a healthy sex life. I think that it has more to do with the person themselves than the relationship. I hear people say that if one cheats then there was something wrong with the relationship at home. I don't believe that this has to always be the case.
I do not believe that there is one answer that would explain every scenario. Sometimes people steal something because the opportunity is there. Sometimes, this also applies to cheating.
You can say as many times you like that you cannot imagine ever cheating on someone you love. But ten years or twenty down the road, there is no telling where you are. All you can do is try and live up to the standards you have set for yourself based on what you believe.
Life happens.
