As a researcher and psychologist who’s been studying marriage and divorce for more than 25 years, I’m interested in the motivations of men who seem to “have it all” and then throw it all away, facing public humiliation in the aftermath and subjecting their families to the same.

Here are five ways to understand why men like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tiger Woods and John Edwards risk it all to have an affair:

1. The illusion of invulnerability. Often, powerful men have affairs because they think they won’t get caught.  And even if they do, they believe they won’t get in trouble because they have the resources to cover it up.  These men often don’t worry about the long-term effects of their actions on others, only the short-term gains for themselves.

Rules of Engagement actress and Jenny Craig spokeswoman Sara Rue put her new hot body to use in a wedding dress recently and could not be happier.  “I feel so lucky to have found someone as kind, funny and smart as Kevin (Price),” she recently gushed in UsMagazine.com. The two wed Saturday in a beach-themed affair, held at the Bel Air Bay Club in Malibu.  The guest list was small, only 112 total for this “small and intimate” affair (according to wedding planner Rachel Hollis).  “One of the first things Sara ever told me was that she was obsessed with butterflies and hummingbirds,” Hollis spoke of the reception.  “She loves specifically hummingbirds.  She had this idea of a vintage inspired garden party and it evolved from there.”

A wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and Michael Bublé may get to experience it twice.  The crooner recently married Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre, and the lucky bride may head down the aisle once again.  Roughly a month and a half ago, the pair wed in Buenos Aires where Torre’s family is located, according to E! Online.  Bublé’s reps confirm there will be no second wedding, yet rumor has it that a second wedding will take place for his family in Canada.  Reps do confirm, however, that there will be a reception for those who could not make it to their ceremony.  The newlywed will then venture off to Italy before Bublé’s big tour.

Lately, the news has been filled with the tragic separation of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver after a long-kept secret surfaced that the former governor of California fathered a child with Mildred Patricia Baena, a housekeeper and assistant in the family home.  This shocking affair, however, also may have resulted in a divorce between Mildred Baena and her former husband, Rogelio de Jesus Baena.  The couple split in 2008 over “irreconcilable differences.”  According to People, contrary to the birth certificate that identifies Rogelio as the father, the divorce documents between the Baenas do not mention any minor children.

Let’s face it – diets are personal.  Add in a new relationship, and it’s easy to feel insecure about bringing up a diet, even though it’s part of your daily regimen.  Personally, if I’m trying to drop a few pounds, I wouldn’t necessarily scream it from the rooftops to a guy I just met!

These anxieties should be put to rest.  Adjusting your diet is nothing to feel weird about, especially if you’re doing it properly.  That being said, you should always contact your healthcare provider or a nutritionist before altering your food intake.

Unfortunately for dieters, dating activities tend to revolve around food.  Here are a few ways to watch what you eat while on three different types of dates:

1. Dinner Date
— Have a healthy snack prior to dinner so that you won’t be tempted to order excess food which you wouldn’t normally eat.  Remember, “bad foods” are okay in moderation and it’s nice to treat yourself to a meal you didn’t cook at home every once in a while.  Be yourself and order what you want (and it doesn’t have to be a salad – unless, of course, that’s what you want).
— It’s totally acceptable if you don’t finish your meal.  Grab a doggy bag to take home.  This is a great idea for those on a portion-control diet.
