My read: she gave signore a second chance, but where's the second chance for SP after x years of marriage and two kids?
I'm guessing that's where the rancor is coming from.
Of course, it's really apples and oranges. A fantasy affair relationship like that isn't a really gut-level meaningful relationahip. No matter how much she thinks she has invested in it, IMHO on some level she realizes this; it's much easier to give someone another chance or multiple chances when they *don't* matter deeply to you, when they haven't staked a claim on that much of your emotional real estate.
