While I do agree with Jeremy being weak-minded, with Ian, it's you who makes those choices. You, the player. Ian's personality isn't hardcoded. He's whatever you want him to be. It's the player who can choose to make him a cheater, a cuck, a strong-minded individual, or whatever. It's all you. You don't have to make him a scumbag. I don't think it's fair to assess Ian and Lena in the same way as all other characters because with Ian and Lena, we have control but with the others we don't.I think Ian is even worse than Jeremy. Jeremy is weak-willed when it comes to women, he thinks so much with his dick, it's pretty hard for him to resist. But even so, Lena has to intentionally provoke him on several occasions, before he finally gives in. Whereas Ian is the one pursuing Cindy. If he doesn't put himself in the right place at the right time, nothing happens between them. He decides to cheat with Cindy, and makes it happen. Ian is supposedly a sensible, strong-minded individual, in many ways the opposite of Jeremy. And yet he deliberately pursues Cindy, knowing full well that it's probably going to destroy his friendship with Wade and possibly Perry as well
Both Wade and Cindy are long time friends of Ian. He knows that he's driving a wedge between two people who trust him a lot. Wade may be the architect of his own problems with Cindy, but Ian ruthlessly exploits that, to get his way with Cindy. Contrast that with Jeremy's relatively unsuspecting flirtation with Lena, not full realising where Lena is leading him, until she's basically naked in front of him and he gives into his lust. Afterwards he's riven with guilt, and probably would have owned up to Ian immediately, if Lena hadn't used her guile to persuade him not to.
