This.....this very reply was what I was expecting. Of course, another woman is responsible for this mess, and I'm not denying. But men in our society always have the upper hand(a typical man dominating society). Acting loving and caring just to save her home is not the right way to handle the situation. The pain and frustration pile up inside her, which she then transfers to the next generation (believe me). A drained woman can never raise a healthy generation.

You know much more than me because of your experience, deep awareness of psychology, and observation of society. I don't even know which one of us is more right, but I do know one thing—a woman of this era (when she is independent) does not break her home just because she cannot tolerate a thing or two. She breaks her home because she knows that a relationship is not just her responsibility. It’s a clap with two hands.

For me, a respectfully broken marriage is much better than an exhausting and insulting relationship.

I know it's my turn to bore you, but just switch the characters , a loyal man and a dishonest woman. Does it work with the same ethics of love and care from a man for his wife? Of course, we known the answer.(While the scenario in your story already works very well in our society, with thousands of practical examples).
