So in pic related, did the MC's wife get raped or did she just cheat on him with some guy she met at the shop for a quickie. Can't decide whether I'm supposed to feel bad for her or not.

In the first part of the book, when Yozo is describing his childhood, some of the descriptions resonated so strongly that I actually remembered aspects of my mental state as a child that I'd mostly forgotten about, like remembering a dream.

>The least word of reproof stuck me with the force of a thunderbolt and drove me almost out of my head. Answer back! Far from it, I felt convinced that their reprimands were without doubt voices of human truth speaking to me from eternities past; I was obsessed with the idea that since I lacked the strength to act in accordance with this truth, I might already have been disqualified from living among human beings. This belief made me incapable of arguments or self-justification. Whenever anyone criticized me I felt certain that I had been living under the most dreadful misapprehension. I always accepted the attack in silence, though inwardly so terrified as almost to be out of my mind.
