Yes, some animals mate with one partner for life and cheating on said partners is a very common occurence if given the opportunity.

Like others of its family the male Raggiana Bird of Paradise has elaborate breeding plumage used to impress females.[sup][135][/sup]

Ninety-five percent of bird species are socially monogamous. These species pair for at least the length of the breeding season or—in some cases—for several years or until the death of one mate.[sup][136][/sup] Monogamy allows for biparental care, which is especially important for species in which females require males' assistance for successful brood-rearing.[sup][137][/sup] Among many socially monogamous species, extra-pair copulation (infidelity) is common.[sup][138][/sup] Such behaviour typically occurs between dominant males and females paired with subordinate males, but may also be the result of forced copulation in ducks and other anatids.[sup][139][/sup] For females, possible benefits of extra-pair copulation include getting better genes for her offspring and insuring against the possibility of infertility in her mate.[sup][14[/sup] Males of species that engage in extra-pair copulations will closely guard their mates to ensure the parentage of the offspring that they raise.[sup][141][/sup]

Other mating systems, including polygyny, polyandry, polygamy, polygynandry, and promiscuity, also occur.[sup][39][/sup] Polygamous breeding systems arise when females are able to raise broods without the help of males.[sup][39][/sup] Some species may use more than one system depending on the circumstances.

Breeding usually involves some form of courtship display, typically performed by the male.[sup][142][/sup] Most displays are rather simple and involve some type of song. Some displays, however, are quite elaborate. Depending on the species, these may include wing or tail drumming, dancing, aerial flights, or communal lekking. Females are generally the ones that drive partner selection,[sup][143][/sup] although in the polyandrous phalaropes, this is reversed: plainer males choose brightly coloured females.[sup][144][/sup] Courtship feeding, billing and allopreening are commonly performed between partners, generally after the birds have paired and mated.[sup][5[/sup]

I think.

Man....I want to say that is true but some animals are straight up freaks. It always reminds me of this video I saw back in high school and it was just a bunch of monkeys go berserk in this crazy orgy. No one was the exception. Like adult monkeys getting with young monkeys....I mean really young monkeys. I guess monkeys after all are the closest thing to a human. It looked like it was just to satisfy their sexual desires.

i believe those monkeys you're referring to are bonobos. those monekys have sex to relieve stress and dont only mate to make babies. Even parent monkeys have sex with their offspring until a certain age.

Yea, but cheating on your spouse derives from  religion. And I'm pretty sure there arent any practcing catholic animals out there, well besides humans of course. Anyways I don't want to go off topic. But animals don't cheat.

Probably not in regards to your spouse, it was common for tribes to have multiple wives and mistresses even til this day. The spread of modern religion calls that a sin. Do some reading and stop trolling.

so for people (non-tribal) who don't believe in religion...there's no such thing as cheating?

Well....religion enforces the morals that cheating is wrong. There are people out there that have polygamist relationships and they don't view it as a bad thing. I still think cheating would be a bad thing even if religion wasn't there to tell us otherwise but maybe it wouldn't be as taboo.
