I think so.... quick pain vs. slow pain ;)

Either way, the pain is gonna be there... Better when dealt with once and for all... 😀

and long-drawn out pain... ughhhh the worst - just end it quickly! LOL

the faster to heal!!!

Yeah yeah 😅. Lol

Opening up, and already having his mind made up although ripping the band-aid would make him the one at fault 100% = bad guy. Haha silly I know but is how I see it.

😀😀 he scared of being labelled the bad guy? Lol! It seems like he already is...

haha true, also depends on who is doing the rationalisation. From her side sure, from his side it might seem like a necessary evil taking her personality into account. Parents are involved to an extent, so shifting focus to what is the core instead of having assumptions instead of ripping the band-aid and no matter what is said it ends up being cheating. Not doing that he might feel he controls the narrative. So still bad but not as bad.... Yip convoluted I know.
