The misogyny comment was more directed at blaming Helen in this instance rather than Wayne which I do think is misogynistic, but it annoys me when in those situations the person outside of the relationship is blamed more. I totally see what you're saying and get why people may end up feeling that way, but at the end of the day the partner is the one in the relationship, the onus is on them not to cheat. Yes it's sh*tty to sleep with someone in a relationship but if you're not in a relationship yourself and someone's offering...that's not really your problem.
