Well, finally someone said it...

Yeah, he actually said it. It didn't make an impression on me the first time, but now... yeah. Good catch. Wish he was. He said it, but he's so blindly oblivious to the irony. Ask him questions? You mean like she did the first time when you told her you didn't like jealous women? Grrr! Why is she the one apologizing?!? So he felt like he was going crazy, afraid of losing her over a stupid misunderstanding? Him! The man who DELIBERATELY created the basis for that misunderstanding when he drove her away! Does he not even realize what he's saying? He feels like he's going crazy after one day, and doesn't even recognize that is how he made his wife feel for months before he threw her away, and even worse after! It's like he thinks he can just ignore the consequences of what he did leading up to the divorce, and that she's supposed to as well.

They had a chance to redeem him there just a bit. If only he'd followed up with, 'I didn't realize how much it hurt. I can't believe what I put you through! Can you ever forgive me?' But nope! There he is, accepting HER apology for HER misunderstanding, taking no credit for its foundation in the slightest. And if he was serious about setting things right, why didn't he force that wicked-tary to come apologize to his wife in person?!? But no, he moved her? Not fired her, but moved her. For betraying him. For lying to his wife. For trying to destroy his marriage. How generous. Yep. He said it. Too bad he has no clue of its signifigance.

I totally agree with you.

It's definitely time for the "Josei Gordon Ramsay" mentioned in several posts on other Harlequin manga.

I'm afraid I haven't caught one of those posts.

It shows up in the comments for Shukume no Partner and Chigireta Heart (two of the worst excuses for romance of all time).

Ah, okay. I think this guy qualifies.
