So is he just a piece of shit with absolutely no redeeming qualities?

No sorry that's just my opinion. At the beginning I could feel for his predicament but then he went ahead and decided to marry her by himself though she had let go. At this point, could he not treat her with a modicum of respect? Not to mention he sleeps around and he's about to divulge the secret pregnancy of the other girl even though she spoke to him in confidence. All of this because he feels jealous of a man with which his wife had feelings for and never acted on them. I mean, here he is going around fooling around and drinking/drugging himself to death and slut shaming the poor girl. Moreover, his wife tells him she feels badly and he can't even make an effort to believe her and he takes her back to the party and proceeds to humiliate her. It's not her fault he's such an ass at this point. He's turning out to be someone unworthy of the title of ML. He's the stereotypical jerk and I don't see HIM changing his ways any time soon. He doesn't even seem to realize how badly he is behaving. Sorry, that's a rant but that's why I said he just gets worse and worse. I just see it coming.... (and I hope someone is smart enough to club him on the head to make him stop talking or even thinking since his head isn't right anyways)
I just needed some type of major conflict... it would have been perfect.
