See, I kind of took that line ("her honour to defend") to mean they got married just to make her an "honest woman", so to speak. But it's in the wrong sequence in the song for that. I don't know.
But the sleeplessness mentioned I think we can all sympathize with, as a natural by-product of a R that has failed or is failing.
I'm still not convinced it is exclusively about infidelity or WAS's. I think it speaks to so many R's -- in general -- that are started under the pretenses of "love" but are really just excuses for satisfying carnal desires.
I guess because I also see this song as a woeful comment on M and R's in general. But that's just me. A good song like this tends to be open to various interpretations.

The thing is, will they ever come back to see this once they buy into their own justifications, or will they just stick to it, since it hurts less?
It looks to me that too many of these WAS' have had to buy into their own spin and have made their deceit such an ingrained part of their existence -- just to be able to look themselves in the mirror each day -- that they become incapable of really extracting themselves from their own reality distortion fields.
