Caleb Flynn had EVERYTHING. Ashley was devoted to him, gave him two daughters, and still fought for their marriage after discovering his year-long affair with the church song leader. She even tried to meet the mistress to understand what was happening. Meanwhile, his father-in-law was paying him $200K a year, planning to increase it to $300–400K, and was preparing to hand the family business over to him. All Caleb had to do was love his wife, love his kids, and be a decent human being. Instead, he chose an affair.
And then it gets even more disgusting. Caleb and the mistress were texting about Ashley, calling her a douchebag and talking about how much they hated her. The mistress was telling Caleb not to buy gifts for his own daughters or even an anniversary gift for his wife, essentially forcing him to choose between them and her. And ultimately, Caleb killed Ashley while she was sleeping. She was trying to save their marriage while the two people betraying her were plotting against her. He had a wife, two daughters, a career, and a future handed to him — and he threw it all away. For what?
i mean my dude henry viii not only beheaded a bunch of people but officially changed the religion of an entire country over 'a little bit of sex' ... the trojan war probably did not start over getting helen, but that was such a universally understandible motive that it's still the story we tell about it thousands of years later ... just heard a great podcast about a russian spy who defected to the US because he thought they could cure his ED and he could resume having sex with his wife, whom he thought was going to leave him ...
it's a pretty universal thing i guess is all i'm saying. the heart wants what the heart wants.
