But the consequences are just terrible

I would say the opposite is true; the consequences (for Mark at least) are meaningless. Five years is basically nothing for these characters. Mark and Terra are Viltrumites and will live for hundreds if not thousands of years and Eve is immortal, although nobody knew that at the time.

It seems like a big deal if you look at it from a normal human perspective but from these specific characters' perspective five years may as well be a five hours. Mark missed a tiny, minuscule part of their lives in the grand scheme of things.

I'd say it was a far crueler thing for Eve, who had to move on not knowing what happened to her husband and having to raise her Viltrumite daughter on a foreign planet full of people who wanted the Viltrumites dead and far away from everything she knew. Imagine the anxiety of knowing that your child will eventually inherit extraordinary powers from her genetics and her father who would've taught her about that is presumably dead.

That tentacle monster is a fucking asshole for what it did, though. Way to practice what you preach, ya under-digested spaghetti smurf.

He lost the first five years of his firstborn daughter, it's not about quantity, it's about quality

Same I feel the sex stuff is worse ye it's bad missing your child grow from an infant to an adolescent and doesn't even know the concept of their father existing besides small moments as a baby but she's gonna live for a very long time and have many moments with him and her mother unless they die prematurely but having an affair is not a good look for eve but if im mark id understand it too especially with all the wild and crazy events that happen in our lives she deserves some kinda happiness and maybe wanted some father figure for Terra while he was gone she didn't even know If he was alive so not as unreasonable as it seems at first but ye mark really getting that spiderman and batman treatment mixed with a lil anime protag

It's not an affair! She's a widow as far as everyone knows.
