It's also a little funny that you list 'cheating' as a negative aspect of ROBERT'S wife.

They both cheated, so they had that going for both of them. But one of them birthed false heirs, which led to murder of Jon Arryn, then murder of the king, the beheading of Ned, the insanity of Joffrey, and into the morass that is A Song of Fire and Ice.

Not to forgive Robert, but he didn't cause all that, except to the extent that his lack of ability to be affectionate toward Cercei perhaps drove her back into Jaime's arms.
