Spot on! He has admitted to her some of his achievements, and even knowing this she is allowing herself to be played by him. Not something you would assume a devoted wife of 22 years would do, even for the weak premise of saving hubbie's job. We have to suspend our disbelief in order to have a story though.The man is a pure and simple slimball. Self admitted to doing this type of corsion many times before to married couples.
This is a useless and senseless sacrifice. I guess in the stories context, I don't it means what you think it means.Some people wrote that Hutch is weak and spineless, but sharing his wife can be seen as strong also.
You need a strong character and will power to sacrifice something you love for the greater good.
Marriages might survive infidelity if there was remorse and admission of guilt and an attempt to rebuild. They rarely survive a loss of trust, and blatant lying.Edit: not every marriage ends because of an affair, many couples survive it and they decide to move along.
(so the cheated one must be weak all the time in your opinion?)
Normally it's a sign of strength to forgive the partner and to decide to hold on to the marriage.
And here in this story we have nothing but deceit, she lied to his face constantly, and they both know it. How could he possibly trust anything she says she will or wont do?
As far as I have heard, even open relationships have rules, and would not survive dishonesty and lack of loyalty.
