“Uh, no. Just answer me.”

Well, what choice did he have?

“If it’s going to be worse and ruin lives, it’s better to just do it and deal with it now. I don’t like putting shit off if I can handle it before it’s a million times worse.”

Yeah, pretty much.

“So, she cheated on her husband to get even with him for having a relationship in my mind while we went into the static?” he asked.

She nodded.
