Ah, there's the guaranteed bad end twist. I knew it was coming.

Your husband’s pride means jack shit if he’s not doing what he should to make YOU proud of him.
It's not the pride that should matter its the wanting to get better. If you replace the ghost with any vice and its just as bad. The whole thing started because a friend told her how great cheating was and she didn't feel satisfied with her husband but also never communicated because of her assumption about her pride.

We saw the ghost almost completely destroyed her body and she thought and felt like she was glowing. It feels a lot like those heroine addicts you see and how they sometimes fake recovery so others don't bother them as they try to do the same things to themselves.

The husband really is a super bad judge of character, wow!! If you actually like your wife, you'd maybe look into a guy a little more before sending a stranger over like that. But also, those birds??? Peak horror moment right there.

Every time this updates I keep thinking this will be the chapter I finally bow out, but now I want to know how she's going to deal with this. yes good the ghost saves her but thinking she prefers a corpse is still Not It

No, she very much communicated with him. He shut it down. We know why, it's cause he doesn't think he can do any better, but what she wants is to be hugged and touched and felt loved, and he doesn't want to hear a god damn word of it because he's convinced he's gonna tell him that he's gotta be a fuckmachine.

Thanks for the chapter. I like how it’s written like I can hate the husband and the wife each for different things. And that this possession will eventually (I assume) because something bad
Well he is draining energy from her every time so she has to do a lot to recoup. He does seem to care for her more than husband who treats her like an object and doesn't seem there for her

Honestly the answer should have been obvious. Your husband’s pride means jack shit if he’s not doing what he should to make YOU proud of him.
That fucked up shit in the chapter aside, there's no excuse for cheating, you also can't blame the other party for it saying "If he's not making you happy its his fault", because at that point both are at fault, but the cheating party makes itself look just that much worse, understandably so, since if you cheat the relationship is already over anyway at this point

In that case just break the fuck up/divorce 😐
(Generally speaking)

The author isn’t “painting” the husband as anything, they’re the author and have control of the world. They’re writing a story where the husband IS a shitty asshole. Plenty of genuinely bad people get cheated on, it’s not all average schmucks who didn’t do anything particularly awful.
Giving a cheater character psychological justification to continue cheating and making it make sense in the story is not the same thing as writing a diatribe justifying cheating from an ethical standpoint. Making something make sense to you as a viewer is not the author trying to mind control you into accepting something you see as immoral.

This is also an erotic manga involving cheating, so…probably just stop reading it if you don’t want to see her continue to cheat?

That being said, I don’t love this chapter, because I preferred it when it contrasted real-life everyday drama with ghost haunting. I want one side to be petty arguments and the other supernatural events, putting “actual crimes” on the real-life side lessens that sense of contrast that was interesting.
