No he's not. He's trusting. That's what happens in a relationship. You fall into a over-heightened sense of complacency due to the belief that your SO would never do anything of the kind.
Most people that are cheating are pretty obvious about it and find that it's easier to do it right in front of someone because they are less likely to believe that it's cheating when they see everything happening first hand and it is summarily dismissed immediately.
As well, men fall into the biological pitfall of being men. Humans are not monogamous animals taken as a whole (I've read some studies that suggest an approximate 20% of the population has the potential for monogamy - if they meet the right mate, otherwise it's an individual moral choice provided by the humans ability to ascertain a situation and make a conscious decision based on future implications weighed against immediate gains.), and, as such, men are inclined to make advances towards women regardless of relationship status. Conversely, women are attracted to the concept of "alpha" regardless of relationship status. Bunch more biology in there than that, but conceptualize the whole "Lion pride" thing.
However, due to our conitive abilities, humans are just plain sneakier about it.
