Arms folded over her chest, Michelle slowly nods, trying to remain calm as she lets Ted spill his heart out with many of the things she is well aware remained unsaid between them. The thing about Jake... it had been a disaster and she has to accept it. She's almost glad to hear him speaking his mind for a change. For as long as their marriage lasted Ted always tried to be accomodating.
But this? Him suddenly going through a... Mid-life crisis?
"I know. I know that you've got a point," she offers, holding out her palm as in a sign for him to stop. "The thing about Jake was a mess and I already told you how sorry I am about it." She is trying to sound patient, even though Ted will sure detect that tone that comes almost like a warning. "But you were not coming to Kansas and I was-- I didn't know how to bring it up. I wasn't in a deadline, Ted." She was running from facing him and the bomb she had set up herself. "But this? You were going to wait until we were here to tell me?"
What would she do then? Forbid him from seeing Henry? Of course not.

"How serious is this? Does she even know?"
