There is some truth there. After the hard conversation with Allie in the park, I walked away feeling that it played out like: "I wasn't getting what I wanted at home with Allie. Instead of talking, facing the hard emotions and problems, and working through it, I instead went elsewhere for the sex. And I thought a co-worker where we both worked was a good idea."

I haven't played the hate-fuck route in a while, but aren't their marital problems discussed? I don't remember if it's stated that one side tried to communicate or not.
As for the co-worker, it's stated that she intentionally pursued MC because he was married to the VP so she could leverage a career. MC wasn't getting affection at home and someone was literally throwing pussy at him, so he pounced.
If I recall correctly in the park, as it's been a while, but the MC does say he knew there were problems and was unsure or too scared to bring it up and address it. There were other topics about him not spending enough/any time at home. My memory is far fuzzier than I'd have thought so I'll have to go back and brush up on what he said exactly. In the latest update I just ran from my existing saves.
V wasn't the person that MC hooked up with that caused the marriage to fall apart. It was a different person, a co-worker, at the company both the MC and Allie worked at. He ended up leaving the company, as part of the fallout if I recall.
V came along after that, as far as we know she's only worked at the University.

He says she pretty much ignored him for the past x years her response is .....
Which is telling. So she doesn't actually try to deny this accusation. He was wrong for cheating...I've never said it wasn't wrong...but there was a reason. If you're ignored at home..hate the atmosphere...I've also worked longer and longer as I'd rather be there instead of beeing at home (admittedly, no kids for me to worry about).
And as i've said before in this thread (a long time ago) I do really wonder if people are being brutally honest (with themseves)...if their wife ignored them and gave them no affection for years....
Exactly what they would do (especially if there was someone on-tap wanting them)....because I know the truth even if most will never admit to themselves. (and no, I've never cheated or had an affair for the record, I did leave her first).

I mean when questioned, Allie states that their marriage wasn't working and she wasn't happy. It sounds like the marriage was dead and the infidelity was just the final nail.

I only remember getting it once, so it might be having a poor relationship with Allie.
Could just be me, but it'd never been allow to fester that long as I'm not one to sit and become embittered. If I see a problem, I'll say what I see/feel. Not rudely, I do try to be tactful, empathetic, and caring with people I love. If they are not willing to work on it, or flat our refuse, there's a much easier resolution than cheating. That's a hard red line I'd never cross, no matter the situation.
Had he stood up, much earlier, and said something things could have very easily played out differently or the same. At least he could have walked away with a clean conscience.

How do we know he didn't and was brushed off...or ignored? There's only so many times you try to discuss something, get met with nothing and...just start to stop bothering....

yeah it was on both them for sure. The cheating is maybe slightly worse, but neither him or her did anything to work on their marriage... and it takes two. Allie could have very well been the one cheating a few months down the line. She didn't, but that doesn't excuse her either for all the other stuff.
Pulling extracts out of the meeting in the park, there was nothing about her ignoring him.

I didn't grab every screen to save space, but there was no mention from Jake, in the entire conversation at the park, about being ignored by Allie. It was the other way around.

Look through all the script (I can't check myself right now unfortunately, not at my pc). IIRC there is a choice before this scene...and on one of them....she gave him nothing for years, no affection at all.

I wonder if it plays out differently depending on the conversations prior?
I always take a more "adult" and reconciliatory approach to Allie, if not not pursuing her LI path.
Although that would definitely play into how differently we see the story.

I'll probably do another anger bang playthrough and see what they say there. Not tonight though

I'm not sure if Natalya is really an LI, and even if she is, she certainly doesn't feel like one given the romantic progression with the other LIs. Natalya is for me the most unlikable LI at the moment, a Russian spy who doesn't even hesitate to sleep with random men in order to complete her mission. It's frustrating that Mc still doesn't suspect anything about Natalya. I hope the developer doesn't delay Natalya's story any longer and we can make some real progress with her.
I feel like at some point in the story Natalya will switch sides and try to protect Mc but we will see.I don't know what the sixth main route is but I hope it is Kris and Alexa.

I mean Jasmine flat-out asks if Natalya is interested in MC and she says she has no romantic interest.I'm not sure if Natalya is really an LI, and even if she is, she certainly doesn't feel like one given the romantic progression with the other LIs.
