What I say instead is that we all assume it was cheating, but maybe it was just a mutual deal he had with his longtime wife as many do.
But that won’t fly in puritanical America, hence apologies etc…
The cheating angle is indeed bigoted and normie.
Many people asked the same question, why apologize and say "I hurt my family etc", he should've said, "My wife and I had agreed that my extra-marital affairs were totally fine..." ?
As someone who lives in Asia, there are quite different attitudes towards this kind of thing, but an emotional love affair is still really off the table even if visiting sex workers isn't, so I don't think it's jut a puritan thing?
