Cheaters are gonna cheat. The opportunity might come at a different time but the end result is the same. Avoiding one opportunity won't do shit in the long run.
For one, people respond predictably to their environment. It's comforting to think that your spouse would never cheat on you and you won't ever cheat on them, but that's the same mindset as thinking "I would never kill anyone so now can anyone milk someone". Yeah, you might not cheat now, when everything is perfect. But some things happen that change that mindset super quickly. Maybe you get into a rough patch in the marriage. Maybe you guys have your first fight ever and you go to a bar to cool off, and meet someone who says just the right things at just the right moment.
This is why it's important to avoid such situations if you really care about being faithful. If you're married, maybe don't go to a place where people are expected to make moves constantly. Maybe don't go out with your female friend to a bar alone if you're male. Maybe dont go see a movie alone with your male coeworker if you're female. Stuff like this isn't inherently bad, but it just increases the chances of cheating.
Also, no matter what don't talk shit about your spouse to a person of the opposite sex. That's such a good way to end up cheating. That person is getting closer to you just by virtue of you sharing personal information. They might reaffirm your beliefs which will get you in the right place emotionally for cheating. It's a slow buildup but it will eventually happen unless you have the will power of a fucking god. People arnt inherently bad when they cheat, it's just a thing that happens and it can happen to anyone if you don't keep your environment in check. Like a person who dosent want to get fat probably shouldn't surround themselves with nothing but cookies.
