It seems like everyone cheats nowadays. Why? Cheating has become more and more socially acceptable in today's society. Cheating has become commonplace on television and in movies. I once saw an article in Cosmopolitan magazine entitled, "Spice Things Up, Have a Fling." I guess if everyone is cheating, then it would make sense to encourage the practice so that the perpetrators don't feel guilty.
I think people cheat because they are afraid to be alone, so they settle. Therefore, people are always looking for the next best thing.
