My wife found out. However, I’ll admit it was satisfying to see her so shocked by the youth and beauty of the woman I was seeing, since I originally joined the dating club out of resentment toward my wife for constantly taking me for granted. Does this count as revenge, or was it just a foolish mistake?

Kida, our representative, will answer this one. I’m going to take the liberty of saying that I feel sorry for you. You write such strong words, but I suspect that inside, you’re experiencing all kinds of emotions—love for your wife, regret, anger, and more. I’m sorry if I’m wrong. Because otherwise, there’d be no point in asking such a nonsensical question. “Is this revenge?” “Is it nothing more than a stupid mistake?” To those questions, my answer is: “That must have been incredibly difficult. Please get some good rest.” Now that your wife has found out, telling yourself that it wasn’t such a big deal—isn’t there a psychological term for that? Was it “reframing,” or something like that? I want to shout this out to all the people involved in papa-katsu around the world: Papa-katsu is scary. It’s like walking a tightrope between buildings while blindfolded—if you fall, the consequences are devastating. It’s something serious. One day, you’ll have to face the fact that you betrayed the person you love. That said, if the point of your question really is exactly what your words suggest, then I agree with Ito: “This isn’t satisfying—apologize.” It’s not merely a stupid mistake. It’s a mistake serious enough to destroy your life. Instead of spending time writing in a Q&A box, why not write a remorseful statement and send it to your lawyer? That’s what I think. However, I’m sure you didn’t write this out of such simple feelings. I sincerely hope that the emotional wounds of both your wife and you heal as soon as possible, and that peaceful days return to your lives.
