Bugs me.
If you want to go all psychology on it, it's basically a way to avoid admitting to themselves that they were stupid. If your partner cheats and you blame the partner, that means you were a bad judge of character and completely misunderstood how that person felt. Whereas if your partner was innocent, but they were lured off by an evil 3rd party, then you didn't do anything wrong, you picked a great person and you can put all the blame on the bastard that stole him/her.
