Why did William Shakespeare cheat on his wife?

There is no definitive evidence that William Shakespeare cheated on his wife. While some scholars have argued that certain passages in his works and sonnets suggest that he was unfaithful, these interpretations are open to debate and there is no consensus on the matter. Shakespeare was married to Anne Hathaway from 1582 until his death in 1616, and there is no record of any divorce or separation between them.
