I'm not counting people who do it impulsively, despite having a good thing going. They can't ever be justified. Alcohol or not (unless they got raped/drugged).

The most common reasons people justify cheating are:

-fell out of love with that person. I think this is the most common justification from women.
-sexless marriage/relationship
-"that partner cheated with me first so I get a freebee"

I think the only ones I can sort of see being justified is from being in an really abusive marriage and going to leave them anyway or the marriage/relationship is totally sexless despite you asking and actively trying to save the marriage (sexually cheating). Wouldn't recommend the latter though. If you think they are open to it, I would ask first.

Sexless could be due to health reasons that prevents them from doing so or dampens their drivr, or partner isn't attracted anymore.

Partners should always communicate their needs and expectations. And especially if you fall out of love and at least tried to work at it.
