Get a grip. We are not talking about no man ffs lol
If you and I were mates and you and your wife split and you had kids with her, I would be a top line scrub having a relationship with her, while cheating on my wife and lieing to you about it. that is pretty simple.
If you split with your wife and I loved her. IMO a mate would talk to you about it openly. Lyon did not do that.
If it were real love it wouldn't be over because they got found out.
