Matt Lauer Caught with Pants Down; Getting over a habitual cheater

Matt Lauer has apparently been caught in a cheating scandal during the Olympics and has caused his 12-year marriage to dissolve. 

The paper reports that Lauer's wife, Annette Roque, accused him of "fooling around during 'Today's' on-site coverage of the Olympics in Vancouver" and that Lauer "went wild" while in Canada. He allegedly moved out of the couple's apartment after an "explosive two-day fight."


According to RadarOnline, Lauer stood his wife up for Valentine's Day, choosing instead to stay in Vancouver. Radar's sources claim he was spotted boozing and flirting with women -- including two young, Canadian broadcasters.


"There was lots of drinking and Matt was seen on-and-off with two women, both of them pretty Canadian broadcasters," the source said. "He was getting very flirtatious with them, and they seemed to be enjoying it."

Apparently, a wife of one of Lauer's NBC colleagues found out about his partying ways and called Annette. "She accused Matt of cheating," the source told RadarOnline. "He said the Canadian women were just friends and colleagues. He made the excuse that he'd stayed longer purely for business reasons. The fighting went on for two days, and finally Matt walked out."




Lauer's mother-in-law Johanna Struijk confirmed to RadarOnline that the couple are no longer living together, and Annette is not wearing her wedding ring.

This isn't the first time Lauer has been caught in a cheating scandal. His wife allegedly learned he was having an affair with a married woman back in 1998, just months before their wedding. In 2006, Annette, then pregnant with the couple's third child, filed for divorce but withdrew the divorce petition a month later.

Cheating is never a good thing, especially when it comes to habitual cheaters.  Pulling through an affair can be hard, but it is not impossible.  Everybody has their own ways to cope with things like this, but acting out in anger should not be one of them.  Letting somebody cheat on you numerous times only shows weakness.  You are stronger than that and deserve way better than though.  Love yourself enough to not become numb to somebody disrespecting you enough to not care about being monogamous.
