ROOKE: Insane Question From Husband About Wife’s Affair Exposes Devastating Death Of Western Masculinity

While she was the one who suggested the affair, his “yes” set in motion a cascade of emotional detachment and resentment that ultimately led to him sitting emasculated in a corner while she cried over the loss of her lover. And no matter how insane it sounds to place blame on the husband for the wife’s affair, you cannot discount the reality that, rather than choosing to be a strong husband, he willingly became a cuckold. But after all of this, he still needs someone else to tell him that what transpired here was not ok. You don’t need an ethicist from the Times to tell you (not that he did) that nothing that transpired in this scenario is normal or healthy.
