There is a term called “ settling” where as you become “comfortable “ in a relationship so long where you accept anything wrong with it because you’ve become used to the person so long and afraid of changing.
I can explain what You’s thoughts are. His always thought he had his wife in the palm of his hand. Since she was so understanding and submissive that she wasn’t gonna go anywhere or cheat outside the marriage. After some point, people get tired of the BS and suddenly “ wake up”. Like what the...
I think the woman ( co worker) who You slept with is probably going to bump heads with his wife very soon. I think she may tell out of desperation since she did find out where they live in earlier episodes.
I actually cried a bit when Kaede stood her husband up on their anniversary in earlier episodes. He even approached her at the table one evening to choose her job or him. I can’t fault him because he was communicating with her.
I do not feel sorry for Kaede. She left that man by himself many many time when he expressed himself to her. Even made him feel humiliated when he wanted to be intimate with her. He addressed all these issues BEFORE he started liking Michi.
He’s not cheating... he was being a gentleman because he was concerned for her safety. He’s wrong for not telling his girlfriend which will cause a big misunderstanding. Now the co worker has feelings for him. So now the ball will fall in his cort on how he will handle this situation.
