Do you think it is because the relationship has gotten boring or maybe because they arte insecure?

human beings crave attention. if their spouse is not showing it to them, they look elsewhere and end up in a bad spot sometimes. ive done that once. i cheated and felt so horrible that i had to tell him. he was upset of course. but when i told him why, he appologized and started to pay me more attention. well that didnt last long cuz we are getting divorced. LOL!!

I don't think that is a good enough explanation. I feel that it has to do with the person cheating, they are lacking something. They need more self confidence and think that someone else may help with that.

I think it depends on the person and the situaton. Its hard to generalize for everyone. If a spouse if feeling neglected and unloved because their husband - or wife - doesn't want to have s*x or be affectionate and they are caught up in work or online gaming and never has anything to say - even the most confident person who normally is happy and feels good about themselves might find themselves wanting to stray. Sometimes a person wants to end it and this is how they choose to do it. Cowardly perhaps. Yes, in some situations its something in the person, but more often, it speaks of an unhappy relationship. I feel, if one is unhappy, they should voice it - perhaps more then once - in a calm manner and if the other has no interest in making a change in the relationships they should leave before cheating. Because to me cheating is being dishonest to vows which is unfair to your current spouse, yourself and any future relationships you may have.

Cheating is unfair to the other person. Perhaps after a person voices their unhappiness they should let the person know they want out of the relationship if it doesn't change. And they should follow through rather than cheating.

Relationship is based on committment and responsibility ... there is no reason to get bored ... if someone feels that they are bored and use it as a escuse then they are actually findng something to blame. there is a solution for bore ... you should try to make an afford to recreate the romance ... start having fun with the one you already have there is no reason to end any relationship for too boring or insecurity.. cheers

Do you think that people can sometimes just fall out of love? And maybe that is a good enough reason to end the relationship? Not cheat but just end it?

I think it is because they so unhappy with the relationship but are not sure how to get out of it maybe because they lack the confidence I'm not really sure. But I think it sometimes gives people the needed strength to get out of bad relationships!
