I used to say just that - not that it's murder, but after a while, I realized cheating is a mistake and none of us are perfect. If you have a good relationship and that person cheats, it boils down to something missing from the relationship that was being fulfilled by someone else.
It's really a lack of communication and execution. Say you don't like your girl's hairstyle. You tell her it's not cute on her. She ignores you and keep wearing it. Eventually, you'll be numb and won't say anything about it. You don't like it - you just want to avoid conflict. After a while, other issues crop up and you ignore them. Finally, you look up one day and realize 'Why am I with a person who basically ignores me?' and starts cheating.
Another thing? The workplace. Think about this - most affairs/cheating goes on with co-workers. Why? Proximity. You are close to one another - you see this person nearly 5 days a week vs. your spouse who you may see for a few hours daily, if that.
There are several reasons why cheating happens. I used to bash cheaters - but now, I have mercy on them. It can happen to anyone.
