(Spoiler) She knew for 18 days...


that her husband was having an affair and didn't say anything? I don't think I could wait 18 seconds before saying something. It would consume me!

Does this happen in real life? Without acknowledging it she valued her company more than her marriage in my opinion.

Yes

I think she was paralysed by indecision. I don't think I could keep quiet either but she probably had NFI where to start. Especially when you have a kid.

Correct. I think this happens all the time. Heck a spouse may know about an affair from yrs ago and not say something. She doesn't know how to handle it right now and she's have this whole CEO dilemma happening. Probably a bit overwhelming for her. I definitely could have seen her confront eventually.

I think a lot of women choose to be in denial about it even if they know it's for a fact. They're hoping that it's not true.

Yeah, she's weird. "Oh my husband is upstairs and I just found out he's cheating on me. I will say nothing about it ever." I don't *beep* think so!

reply

Apparently it does happen, perhaps especially when the wife has no power to walk out, ie when she is dependent on the husband as breadwinner. Seems less likely in this case.
