[@Lola_Nico]

Yeah Ned was clearly over-compensating.

[@ninjacat5755]

I totally agree. I never thought that Ned was a good partner. I always disliked how he referred to Ariel as “my wife” it seemed too possessive and non affectionate

[@colleenfreeman540]

I struggled with his shtick too. My ex husband was "the wife guy" amongst his coworkers and social circle...he used to post all over social media this idyllic life we had. Behind closed doors he was abusive...he abused me in every way a person can be abused. He also cheated on me...CONSTANTLY!!! I am NOT saying Ned abused his wife, but when you spend so much time making this "one thing" the only thing in your public life it feels icky. Especially to people who have seen the ugly side of that behavior. 🤷‍♀️

[@emilycanfield2634]

Someone who thinks marriage gets worse as they get older is a huge red flag. IMO they should get better, you learn more about each other, how to communicate, understand each other's love languages etc..

[@gilly_axolotl]

This. People think the best part of a relationship is the "honeymoon phase". While it tends to be new and exciting, it's impossible for the couple to be truly, fully comfortable with each other at that stage imo. Simply bc they still have to get to know each other

[@meganb0t]

[@Anonymous-wi6ig]

Ned is just a frat boy

[@nars314]

Though Eugene acts tough and can come off brisk, I think he is the biggest empath out of the Try Guys. He's watched and experienced big betrayal in committed relationships and I FEEL for how much of an impact this is going to have on him, on all of them. Think about Becky and Maggie, they probably have so many questions about if any of them knew or even suspected. I hope they all are getting help (this goes for all other employees as well) and are able to be open and transparent to each other about a really tough situation. Otherwise for some it will just fester and cause so much distrust and issues continuing forward. I've been around a few very similar situations and it just compounds the issues when having to pick up the pieces after an office relationship or affair. Their situation is even more "sticky" since the spouse has ties to the company and a frequent presence in their content or side projects.

[@viceb7]

Yea Ned was always the least interesting tbh, though it seemed nice that he loved his wife so much....smh

Ned always seem fake/flat to me but I always figured he was an idea guy for skits. the Instagram thing about acting cute seemed right when he said it like one only honest things he ever said. i was glad john threatened him after he insulted his relationship his excuses was a light red flag for a relationship. but i didn't think he cheat on his wife.

People within my social circle have met the guys at a Christmas party before (idk whether this was TG/Buzzfeed times), but they weren't surprised about the scandal. They said Ned would try to grind on other girls (like some redditors have mentioned) and all the staff were around to witness it. Maybe that was the extent they were aware of (the whole "idk what to do with my hands" is a fluke then) but clearly they knew about this earlier. IMO they were hoping to solve it internally/for it not to leak so they wouldn't have to completely rebrand themselves and lose a founding member. They mentioned before that Ned carried a lot of managerial weight.

They don’t deserve this.

[@calvinjohnson6242]

Ned was my least favorite Try Guy. However, I think he was still funny and a great addition to the team. His incredibly wrong actions have not changed that. This was a compilation of his worst moments. Granted, I’m not missing him at ALL. He did a bad thing and he deserves to be forgotten.

[@dotdotdot...176]

In hindsight, the things Keith says seem so much sassier and shadier towards Ned lol "Good answer, I didn't know what the answer was gonna be." "I think our marriage is more realistic." "You and Ariel are so cute together... is any of it just for show?" "This is a salad that cheated on it's wife." Edit: by the way, I'm not claiming Keith knew beforehand and was throwing shade because of that, I'm pointing out that after all of this has come to light to both the try guys and the internet, these comments seem more sassy/shady in retrospect.

[@miramoloney7730]

The salad quote made my jaw drop- their faces say it all

[@acemstudio]

Also "Ned loves bad ideas!"

[@julianamac168]

Obviously they know more about their personal lives than what’s shared on the videos. I believe Keith has never been too close to Ned but Becky is close to Ariel. So Keith likely gets more behind the curtains stuff about the marriage itself. he can also see Ned act behind the Cameras and all the shady actions like being too flirty with fans or the behaviour in bars, etc. He is also a quick thinker kind of comedian so when the opportunity arises he probably threw some extra punches.

[@emacarvalho7889]

Ned is human and humans make mistakes but Ned shouldn’t do what he did. Every action good and bad has consequences. He did wrong. so he has to face the consequences. The rest of the try guys did the right thing because someone who cheats on someone can be a turn coat on other situations and would hurt The Try Guys even more.

[@willowoodz]

i think there’s no reason to compare relationships. even then, ned’s behavior is SO juxtaposed to the other try guys’ relationships. the other try guys notoriously didn’t have publically announced S/O’s for the majority of their screen time, and even admitted their problems towards relationships OFTEN. i think the lack of self awareness in ned set him up for failure, because he often was so “perfect” that he wasn’t as nearly as relatable as the other try guys in general- not even just towards his marriage.

Same, I did not see as much try guys videos cause they where having a phase where there was only him Keith and Zach, I loved keith and Zach parts, but could not see ned ones, EVEN WHEN THEY FILLED THE BATH TUB WITH PASTA HE MADE ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE ALSO I’m a very arts person and he is the type to think they are better cause they can do math?

His whole view of Ariel as a person was based on how perfectly she could be an extension of him. The important thing to him wasn't Ariel as a person, it was Ariel as *HIS* Loved the concept of having a wife and having someone who belongs to him, hated the responsibility and the compromise that comes with a healthy relationship. It's all about Ned.

I'm hoping that Ariel gets out of her marriage with Ned, when this all happened and I first saw some old clips I was praying that Ariel and Ned don't just "talk" it out and stay together. They have two little kids to look after and Ned went and broke Ariels trust for how long? like since last year? I really don't want to hear that they stayed together for the kids or something, as a kid in that situation, it was terrible. The house's energy was always wierd, my parents werent ever really like normal parents to each other and they were living together because of my and my sibling. It's just something thats shit that has been happing for years now, if you ever need to think about divorcing your spouse and think "well it'll be better for the kids if I stay" DO NOT STAY!!! If your thinking about divorcing then do it! Don't put yourself in that situation to be in a shit marriage and dont put your kids in a house like that!! Ariel and the kids deserve so much more!! Also since this all started something feels off and fishy to me, like theres WAYYY more to the story especially with Alex

Also if you have an argument, separate long enough to calm down, but don't save it until the next day. Also if kids or family is around you take it to a another room.

So insincere, I realise now how he has always cared so much about image over substance.

I saw a video of someone who used to work with Ned saying that if a person makes one thing their whole personality, it's usually to compensate for that. It makes so much sense.

[@plutototoh]

Ned always did feel like an outsider in their group. They worked hard to keep him a cohesive part. This makes sense considering he was in a very high position and things surrounding that are sticky, but ever since the first video I watched back when they were IN Buzzfeed Ned has always felt like the outlier and that they didn’t hate him but they were closer with each other than him. He’s never quite fit and had to lean hard into a persona to make it fit, where the others don’t need to try so hard because those 3 just click. He never really felt like a friend like Zach Keith and Eugene do. I guess this was just inevitable.

I’m pretty sure there was a study done on social media and relationship correlation. The study had said that the more someone posts about, show, or talks about their significant other, the more likely it is for the relationship to fall apart. Has something to do with the fact that the people who end up ruining the relationship try so hard to show everyone on social media “see this is perfect for me, everyone should be jealous of what I have,” when in reality they are trying to convince themselves of the same thing by posting ab them nonstop. Really interesting stuff to watch it happen real time with Ned.

I always got the feeling that Ned was the odd one out in the friend group, he didn't seem very close with any of the other guys. While zach and Eungene both seem pretty close to Keith. But also I really hope the other try guys didn't know he was cheating this whole time.

[@Conformist138]

I thought Ned's Wife Guy bit was overplayed, but at the same time, Eugene never stops talking about being sad and gay, and I don't doubt he is those things. Still, let this be a lesson not to define your entire public persona on your relationship to another person. One way or another, it's just too statistically likely for that to go very wrong at some point. And then, not only is your relationship over, but your friendships, brand, income, and public perception are all destabilized at the same time. I actually think this might be one of the only true "cancellations" to ever succeed. My guess is Ned's entire career as a public figure / outward-facing content creator is over, with no chance of recovery.

[@TheNightxSky]

@@safeeyab6291 Being a good husband is a great personality trait, if he was one. But he wasn't, instead of just saying he was a wife guy he should have given stories or showed how good of a husband he was. Keith always has a story about the things he and becky have done. Being a wife guy is just as much as a spot light/attention grabber as saying your gay. That's the whole point. Keith loves food, what is that? that's not a personality trait, but they created almost a brand out of it. People find something interesting about themselves and turn it up 100 notches for the internet. They had to think about their target audience. I don't think Ned's general interests or personality would have been enough to keep him interesting, but guess what people love shipping and love internet couples so why not use it to their advantage. There would have been nothing wrong with that, some people even ate it up like pizza.

[@ghostyboy6181]

also I think Eugene speaking abt being sad and gay is different than Ned's wife guy bit. Eugene grew up being unable to express himself, especially his sexuality, so him being able to talk and joke abt it now is probably v liberating for him. he's also notoriously closed off, so him talking abt emotions and stuff is good! he's getting more comfortable expressing himself without fear of repercussions. it also indicates him becoming more comfortable not just with the audience, but his fellow try guys as well. meanwhile ned was constantly mentioning his wife, but was v one dimensional abt the whole thing. he always gave v general/vague compliments to her when he referenced her, and never had anything particularly significant to say abt her. sure the other try guys play up certain interests and character traits for the bit; that's just how being an internet personality is. but you could always tell there was nuance behind it, and they weren't afraid to be candid abt their true feelings on the situation. meanwhile ned was one dimensional, always trying to be the perfect wife guy but barely anything else. oh also his other personality trait is "I graduated from Yale" lmao
