Okay, yeah, he's being a jerk about therapy. He's being a jerk about rejecting her and yet not letting her go. He's a jerk to call her names. He should face up to the situation and not let her shift slowly in the breeze. She is not for him and he is not for her. So sad. Move on.
On the other hand, and at the risk of sounding all prudish, give the guy a break. We all have our boundaries. I've never asked my husband if he's ever been in a threesome before we met, because it's none of my business, but if by chance I ever found out the answer was yes I would not be thrilled. Maybe everybody else here is more cosmopolitan than I, but I bet you all you sophisticates have your "issues" too. What if she'd had a three-way with, um, another person and a rather large stallion? With an eight-year-old boy? Where do YOU draw the line? Because we all have a line. Or should.
Give the guy a break. The fact that this bothers him doesn't make him nuts. The fact that he felt compelled to ask the question is what makes him nuts.
