He was an asshole before she cheated. It's redemption because she put the all blame on herself, and he didn't have to blame himself that he killed his own "child" (reminder: he did kill a pregnant woman and himself). On the other hand, he took every opportunity he had to hurt her, mentally and physically. They were both dead, and that's how he chose to go. (Did even you watch the anime? This was directly stated..)

Not saying cheating isn't bad, cause it most certainly is and is among the most selfish things anyone can do. In the ideal situation, both of them would have gone to the void. But the guy obviously had issues, issues that would not be resolved even if his wife was perfect. He drove the car recklessly and got both of them killed, in a fit of anger. That kind of person is just a ticking time bomb.

Being an asshole in response to an adulter might be understandable, but it's not the kind of behavior that's excusable. And fact that you're excusing the man for being one just because he is a man is stupid. That's the kind of logic that allow some rapists to get away with their crimes: "she  was drunk, dressed like a slut, and men will be men." Asshole is an understatement, considering how much abuse he put her through. Being angry, being sad, being frustrated and hating everything is understandable. Once you take that out on the person, instead of dumping the guilty party, then you're no longer guiltless. Cheating calls for divorce and custody of children, not abuse.

"But he was being as asshole cuz she's a cheating whore." Are we in kindergarten? Two wrongs don't make a right.
