Why do people cheat<\/a>, even when they\u2019re in presumably happy relationships<\/a>? Recently, Maroon 5\u2019s lead singer Adam Levine (who\u2019s married to Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo) got exposed for flirting with (and attempting to name his soon-to-be-born son after) influencer-model Sumner Stroh. Yuck! Next, Ned Fulmer from The Try Guys \u2013 a wholesome entertainment group founded by four BuzzFeed alum \u2013 was revealed to be having an extramarital affair with his fellow colleague and producer, Alexandria Herring. Double yuck! We\u2019re enraged<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You can say that September\u2019s been branded \u2018Cheater Awareness Month\u2019. Last year, stand-up comedian John Mulaney was called out for cheating on his wife with Olivia Munn. And this year, several other famous men \u2013 including American professional basketball coach Ime Udoka \u2013 were also exposed for being unfaithful to their partners. These cheating scandals caught us off-guard, considering most of these men appeared (on social media, at least) to be in fulfilling marriages. Particularly in the case of Ned Fulmer.<\/p>\n

Now, we were all understandably upset when Adam Levine cheated on his wife. However, when we discovered Ned had done the same, it was like a punch in the gut. Sure, what Adam did really sucked. Yet it wasn\u2019t that<\/em> surprising for a man with his history (he\u2019s cheated on ex-girlfriends and reportedly proposed to Behati while he was dating another woman). But we all expected better from Ned.<\/p>\n

Why? It\u2019s simple. Ned Fulmer was the archetypal \u2018wife guy\u2019 \u2013 he publicly admired and exalted his partner every opportunity he got. His entire personality on The Try Guys was built on loving his wife. That\u2019s why his infidelity rocked us to our core. Because if we can\u2019t trust someone like Ned, who can we trust? In essence, when Ned cheated on Ariel Fulmer, he also cheated us out of the role model we expected him to be.<\/p>\n
