Infidelity…

To play the cuckold is unmanly—and castrating. Something like striking out playing softball, guttering three balls in succession while out bowling—driving for two inches using Big Bertha. A man hates to look foolish, and striking out with his wife is idiotic.
A woman never accepts infidelity. To be cheated on is to have her power shattered. And without her power she can manipulate nothing. The 'elephant' in the small room with her has turned unpredictable and is no longer easily manipulated. Instead the elephant must be abandoned—or shot. If possible...
If not he must be punished unmercifully, made to labor, and made to pay. But never forgiven.
