if he's got other relationships on the side, why'd he need to keep jlo?


i never understood when men cheat, why'd he try to stop her from leaving? i mean, he was fooling around with that other broad, so why did he want to maintain the relationship with jlo?

With Mitch it was all about control - he viewed his wife as his property. Leaving him constituted betrayal, regardless of his own behaviour. Mitch believed that as a wealthy man, he was entitled to power and domination. He therefore could not allow her to 'win'. He would still carry on all the affairs he wanted, but his wife was not permitted any independence.
