I will re-read it and keep my comments light to this situation. It was just common for a man to feel like he did something wrong around the wife who cheated on him, and she comes back mean-spirited and less giving.
I've made an assumption that maybe she doesn't know she's doing it, and not trying to hurt her.
In these real "power moves" like cheating on someone, most people won't give up the feeling of "power" after they have done the deed.
