I think it's pretty much a consensus that the cheater is at fault, and the person whom they cheated with is only if they knew the person was in a relationship, and even moreso if they knew all parties involved.
Next question please.

The cheater is at fault. Without question.
The other man/woman isn't at fault - they don't force a person to cheat.
Neither is the person who was cheated on.
Circumstances don't come into it. If the person who is cheating (or wants to cheat) is honestly in a relationship that sucks THAT bad, they need to either try to work with their significant other to fix the underlying issues in the relationship, or they need to work up the courage to break it off. At least that way, everyone gets to move on, get on with life.

I think its the fault of the developer who put the codes in the game in the first pla....
Oh. The other kind of cheating.
I have no strong opinion as it has never been an issue for me, but I would assume its on a case by case basis.

I'd say the circumstances would sway me in several directions. I mean, I doubt I'd blame my girlfriend for cheating on me with someone like Brad Pitt. Hell, I'd probally ask for an autograph.
I suppose in the long term it's the fault of the cheater though. But as I said, cirucmstances would sway me in different directions. For instance, if partner A made partner B upset by losing their house in the mortgage, then partner B went out drinking and had sex with slut A whilst under the influence... sorry, I got carried away there. What was the question?

Its always the cheaters fault. ALWAYS. We can't make decisions and then blame them on the situation or on someone else. You make your own decisions about who you sleep with. Its always a choice and thus you can only blame yourself. Only a cheater would try and balme the otehr perosn or their partner. If you need to cheat to get your sexual needs filled, end the relationship with your significant other first. Otherwise you are a piece of crap. Unless you have an open relationship and then you are just different.
It's all circumstantial, really.
For example, if the husband is an abuser, it's the husband's fault the women cheated on him.
But if the wife just cheated on him for no real reason, it's her fault.
But if the guy the wife is cheating on him with also knows full well she is in a relationship with someone else, then it is both the cheater and the guy who she is cheating on the husband with that are at fault.

Depends. Some relationships are open, and it's not cheating. However, in many (Dare I say, most) there is a common agreement to stay loyal, which also has an extremely strong genetic component. Yes, monogamy is programmed into our genes in many ways. Of course, so is having lots of sex, so that doesn't mean that we can't overcome certain aspects of our genes in order to have what we consider a better life. Essentially, whether cheating is possible is a function of the individual couples choice.
Beyond that, it is everyone's fault...to some extent. And it depends too much on individual factors. The cheated partner could have been an abusive, distant douchebag whose partner desperately needed some sort of love in their life after living so long in fear...or they could have been a sweet, kind innocent partner who for some reason didn't quite satisfy there partner completely without them even realizing it. The Cheater could have been the aforementioned desperate, abused victim...or they could be easily board, and wanting to have casual sex with anyone, no matter who they hurt in the process of their own appetites. The Other Partner could have not done enough research to realize that there new partner was already taken, or they could have been a close friend who needed to support someone they care about through a difficult time...or they could just want to get laid, and decide that the most convenient pool of potential sex friends would be the significant others of people they know already. Every situation is different, everyone shares the blame (Though sometimes, 1 or 2 partners share of the blame is incredibly minor) and often times, it's not as clear cut as we would want to believe.

Cheating is stupid. If you want to get it on with someone else, get out of your current relationship. It's not that hard to figure out.
Because of this view, I place the blame squarely (and hopefully painfully) on the person doing the cheating, no matter what gender.

I believe I speak for most who've gone through this experience when I say,
ROCKS FALL. EVERYBODY DIES.

At some point the other person takes some blame. If they have deliberately tried to seduce an unavailable person at some point, then they take some blame for active pursuit of an unavailable person. It takes two. For the most part though, it's the cheaters fault.
