Yes I can, I'll preface this with I'm not trying to be combative here at all, I'm just pointing out something that struck me is all. Sorry it took me a while to get the quotes together.
You speaking about the affair as a fact and questioning why he didn't tell her he was seeing someone else while in counselling:
This was Ioan's opportunity to be straight with her and he wasn't. They were in a forum where someone was supposed to help and 'translate' and he chose not to come clean, how is that her fault?
Tilly's reply:
You (referencing the affair again?)
:
Why aren't you asking why he didn't take that opportunity to come clean in a safe space rather than making excuses for him? Why is it her fault that he didn't? Why is it up to her to second guess? They went to marriage counselling, the whole point of counselling is to be honest and for there to be someone to prevent the 'knife in the back' when you come clean, which he didn't.
Then
I respond to the not actually a fact-ness of the "affair":
You changing the goalpost of "he should have disclosed the affair" to "he should have disclosed he was unhappy":
We don't, except he could have disclosed that he was unhappy and wanted to leave which was clearly the case and he didn't have the courage to do that. BW was his courage taxi out of the marriage but she is just that, a vehicle to get him out
