His W is off with some OM somewhere doing something. But I think the advice to tell him to 'close the door' on the chance of reconciling because of the affair is a disservice to the intent of the philosophy put forward in the books.
The fact is, his wife is off with someone. Period. Can you show me where I said to close the door? You can't. What I said was to let her go. If she comes back, then she does. If not, then he needs to be prepared. Real life. Not false hope.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
