Sorry Kate, but that is just a crazy cavalier attitude. Fair enough if you don't love your wife or care for her feelings, but this type of news could devastate someone beyond heartbreak, especially when a family with children are involved. I know you say in a later thread that it's the actual act that causes the heartbreak and not the finding out.......well, that's just not true (That's a lesson I learnt as a teenager, when I confessed to my then GF that I two-timed her
).
It is also too easy to say that men should not do it if they cant accept the consequences. Many men here love their wives and family but for whatever reason (and there's too many to list) they also have a need to visit escorts or have extramarital affairs. I don't condone it, I wish I didn't do it, but such is life and we all have a different moral compass.
However, I do admire Wicklow's decision because this was something that was playing on his mind and I'm sure after pondering it for a long time he concluded that it was the right thing to do for him
and his relationship. I might add though, no one knows Wicklow's wife better than himself, so he would have had a strong sense of how she would take it. I'm not saying he would have expected such a positive outcome but I'm sure deep down he knew she wouldn't leave him over it.
