I wish the "he cheated!!!!!" crowd gave it a rest. If you look honestly at their situation they were essentially strangers, a company robot and her live-in housekeeper with their "marriage" being nothing but a pair of matching rings. Those last two chapters were a beautifully written heart-to-heart, let's not spoil them.
Cus cheating is cheating, doesn't matter what reason is, the moment you decides to cheat at your partner you're a POS, and i bet he'll happily going back to the other Girl who he have cheated with.

So she's at fault because he's a POS who cheated?
Both were flawed and had issues in their relationship. That was the point of this chapter was them finally admitting that they're just not suited for each other anymore. They acknowledged that they simply wanted different things in life, the husband being family oriented while the wife being work oriented.

cheating is wrong regardless, but cheating due to constant negligence from your partner is a far different story than cheating because you felt horni that one time



to simply break down Makoto (or michi for that matter) as just a POS because of the cheating part just completely misses the entire story that was presented

Look I get it ok. Cheating is wrong and I'm not saying otherwise. But those out there saying "He Cheated! He's a PoS" are really missing the forest for the trees. And choosing to disregard the signifcant nuance of the situation. Obviously he could have handled things better, but the simple fact of the matter is that he didn't. But he fully acknowledges what he did was wrong tries to be better.

Like does it not matter to you guys that he was neglected and deprived of his needs by his own wife? What was he supposed to do? Force Kaede? He wouldn't do that (and it would only foster resentment). Kaede didn't cheat but she absolutely holds some accountability for their whole situation.

It's unfair to reduce Makoto to a "PoS" without also acknowledging Kaede's involvement and vice versa.

Thank you for the translation.

No, I understand. In a society where divorce is an option for both people, if you're unhappy, just leave. You guys are strangers? Be strangers with different last names. I know I said I wasn't gonna harp on it, but I don't want to downplay what he did by acting like it's reasonable, either. Ultimately, he was only willing to leave when he thought he might have something better lined up. It was a selfish act that we shouldn't try to justify just because we don't like the person it happened to. If anything, I feel like people are too quick to condemn Kaede for being exactly who she decided to be in the beginning of the relationship, openly. She's guilty of being emotionally negligent and unempathetic to her life partner, and not breaking it off once she realized she wasn't being an equitable partner to him. He's guilty of being undiscerning of his own needs and for holding these unspoken expectations of reward and letting them fester into resentment. I think lots of people can empathize with these states of mind and the mental toll they take. But it's for that exact same reason that so many can openly condemn cheating: because the rest of us didn't cheat. Like you said, though: this story handles it beautifully, without condemning nor justifying, just contextualizing, but that doesn't mean others won't come away with their own analysis especially when just speaking to the general circumstances.
