He’s afraid of fake sympathy or being mocked behind his back, so he’s carrying his hurt around without anyone to tell.
He’s deeply saddened by his wife’s behavior, but he has to keep pretending nothing is the matter.
“She’s far away again right now because either she’ll cheat or she won’t; it’s up to her,” he said. “No reason to ruin her career because the damage is done.”
His wife has been super about maintaining contact with him in an effort to build back his security in their marriage.
He can tell she’s trying her hardest to make him feel better about the entire situation, but there’s nothing she can say or do to improve his mood.
“Dumb as it sounds, I really believe it’s a mistake she won’t make again, but man… soulmates don’t do this to each other,” he continued.
“Every naive thing I thought about love is so obviously wrong now. Yeah, I know soulmates don’t exist, and you build a relationship, but just like every sucker that thought they were different: I did too.”
“Then I found out. I hate living on this planet. Every little gentle thing dies; a whirlpool of sin sucks everything wholesome into it, and yes, even my love shrivels up and dies like everything else does. I just wish this was the one thing that could’ve remained untouched.”
