It seems there is no one on earth or even in heaven above that Dave is not willing to throw under the bus to avoid simply admitting he was wrong.
By encouraging the woman to keep her offense secret, Dave and Kathy took away the husband’s chance to decide for himself what constitutes legitimate grounds for divorce and make his own decision.
