"Kyle was incredibly panicked when I opened the door, and he saw it was me. He begged me not to say anything to his wife. According to Kyle, he has been miserable in his marriage, and seeing other women on the side helps him "maintain his sanity." I was so flustered in the moment that I agreed to keep my mouth shut."
"Kyle! What were you thinking? It's one thing to be cheating, but how are you this bad at it? You, a man who is cheating on his wife, are not a candidate for blind dates. How was this not clear? I'm shocked that you've managed to keep yourself alive through adulthood with this kind of decision-making. Also, Friend, we need to find you a hobby because why are you volunteering as a matchmaker for married men?!"

The columnist condemns Kyle’s decision-making and criticizes the woman for matchmaking married men, expressing an initial instinct that the coworker deserves to know while also pausing because the coworker is a colleague at work.
