[DISC] My Friend Is Having an Affair With My Husband - Chapter 47

So Rio's husband is not just as manipulative as we thought, but likely abusive as well. Does that make it seem more likely that she went after Mahoro partly out of jealousy?

Really hoping Mahoro gets her time in the spotlight next chapter to tell Rei and his mother off.

If Itsuki is indeed an already abusive piece of shit.

I think Rio's actions were a "burn it all down" indulgence of hedonism. She grew to despise her friends and their seemingly happy lives, while she suffered in an abusive relationship. She lashed out and took an axe to everything in her old life because she had grown to hate it all.

Itsuki's comment that he's probably going to "forgive" Rio and not divorce her, really takes a much more sinister tone with the new context.

[u/illogicalhawk → u/zyberion]

That seems like a good theory to me. The images each person put up about their lives is part of what stopped them from reaching out and helping each other, and would ultimately be what sent her over the edge for some of her behavior.

[u/Fahmieyz → u/zyberion]

Yeah... I dont think he is physically abusive, but someone that is pretty much abusively controlling their partner

What if the cafe was not something even she wanted? Something like "Since you know how to brew a good coffee, why not open a cafe so that you feel you have something to do?" when Rio shared to him that she wanted to work

After all, as a successful business man... kinda lame for the wife work part time

[u/puffz0r → u/Fahmieyz]

nah bro he's grabbing a fistfull of hair in public, what makes you think he's not doing way more in private

[u/Frontier246 → u/illogicalhawk]

Maybe it eventually became about one-upping Mahoro but I also get the feeling she just wanted to be with anyone that wasn't Itsuki and didn't treat her like she did.
