It would be unfair to break a commitment made before God and man because you have an itch or feel "lonely".

If they don't want to be alone while they're married, then reconcile with their spouse. If that can't be done, then wait till it is legally and officially over before linking with someone else.

Marriage should never be a prison nor should getting out of a marriage condemn a person to a miserable and lonely existence.
Marriage also shouldn't be waived off because "it's not fun anymore" or "it's not convenient anymore" or "I've met somebody new and I've fallen in love with them." People condemn themselves to a lonely miserable existence, not marriage. Marriage is supposed to help them to avoid that very fate.

If you are going to view marriage as something that needs to be gotten out of easily, then you've missed the point of marriage and shouldn't have gotten into it in the first place. It's not supposed to be easy to get out of. - "Till Death Do Us Part".
