There was also this comment

Monogamy is socially imposed, not a biological prerogative. Therefore yes, cheating is common because social norms can only do so much to override basic human nature.

The natural human relation is a long term partnership without sexual exclusivity, which is common in other primates as well. This is why people cheat but still want to stay with their partners.

That was heavily downvoted but that I personally agreed. We live in a society were monogamous exclusive relationships are the norm, so is difficult to think it could not be.

You can do non-monogamy without cheating. I know many people who do so.

Yeah, I know. Me and my wife have this kind of relationship. We're monogamous in a way that we have no interest on dating anyone else, or being romantically involved with other people, but when we're partying we kiss and occasionally have sex with other people. But of course, we're open about it and we don't lie to each other.
