I would not be surprised if he was just using the wife and all the court stuff as a convenient excuse not to marry the mistress. His relationship with her was probably a lot more fun when it was all illicit and sneaking around and Paris-vacation fantasy-land instead of boring real life with household chores, children, and actually having to live with someone 24-7. Sometimes the best thing a betrayed partner can do to hurry the karma bus along is to set the cheater free to be with his or her 'soul mate'.

And Ms. Chapur may have cause to look back and be grateful that she didn't end up marrying this self-absorbed hypocrite. As much as she finds the category of mistress painful, I suspect she would have found the category of "second betrayed wife" even more painful. When you read what this guy writes about his life, it's pretty clear that even after all these years he still has little self-awareness about why he behaved in the way he did, he doesn't take responsibility for his own choices and consequences, and he doesn't care about anyone else's pain beyond his own. Even in his Facebook manifesto, it's all about him and how he feels and how he's been wronged blah blah blah - if he cares so much about this so-called "soul mate", why does he barely even mention her or her feelings? This is the mentality of a guy who's going to cheat again.
