I think my reaction was due to the fact that she lied to me and was trying to cover it up. So I wanted to know if it was a "date" or not, and decide if I can be ok with her doing this or not.
And if it was, you're assuming that she'd tell you the truth???

I think it's more than that, Starsky.
I think that he has been treated so poorly by his wife for so long, that it probably stings a little when she makes an effort with someone else. The same effort she doesn't make or won't make with Navy.
I'm not saying that justifies the confrontation, but I believe it's certainly a part of it.
I agree that may be the dynamics of it. I'm just saying it serves no purpose: it aggravates her, and it agitates Navy. If she lies to him, he gets to deal with more deceit (and most of us who have gone thru this stuff report that the deceit and the disrespect are worse than the actual act of cheating), and if she tells him the truth it will just be another blow to his gut.
