One other thing the MC said.....I have ruined her "fantasy" life....of course she is gonna be angry. I hope all this makes some kinda sense?!?!?
BINGO. Some wayward spouses have even VOCALIZED that, if you can believe it, as in "You ruined my affair!" and "You spoiled all the FUN I was having!!"
Thank goodness my wife -- although livid with me at times, don't get me wrong -- never said anything of those things, because I don't think I could have handled it.
