Pony rose his brow at her. "I've never known a kind man in my life. If they don't hurt someone, they have a personal reason not to." He listened and found himself filled with disappointment. She was speaking about a lot and he started to wonder if she was making things up to protect Karen or at least to calm his anger at her. Either way, he didn't know what to think. "If it was a month, that's even worse. They've been acting out in such a way that the neighbors have been seeing them clearly and speaking about them. And taking his son to see her when they are up to ... that! I do think it is shameful. If I loved someone, I'd want to be sure before I acted upon it. And I would be devastated if I were no more and she was seeking 'comfort' in a man's arms without even missing me for a year. It would make my love and life feel cheap. Clearly I'm the only one." He sighed and looked away as he sipped his tea, clearly losing his appetite.
