I think that you would like to think this because as a woman if the situation were to ever occur in your life, you'd find comfort in reflecting on this post. Nothing wrong with that, but in actuality he's human, as am I and you as well. And as you know human behavior is absolutely unpredictable, as this situation was and the outcome also.
Kind of odd that you even said "his wife owns his soul", do most women think in such a narcissitic way when it comes to their mates?
I'd hope not to deal with an attitude like that.
