that only boils down to the fact that he is not only a bastard but trash to the core too.
he wouldn't be in that mess if he divorced hayame first before rekindling his old love. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
good riddance, indeed!
You got it exactly! I'm not surprised it ended like this. The ex husband felt emasculated/like a loser, so what do men like that do to feel on top again? Get a new woman that they feel "above" whether it be due to age, financial status, etc.
he must have thought that he's a hero or something in some twisted story.
yet, in reality, he is just a scum with no balls.
I feel like the husband just had a lot of insecurities and the affair was just a consequence of this. Like, he liked the other woman, because she seemed helpless, so he could feel like the protector in the relationship. And since the MC is more independent and confident, he didn't feel like he was needed, or something like that.

Men that feel insecure with self-assured women are going to be trouble sooner or later, that is, if they don't learn how to deal with their baggage.
