Hell yes!....Marriage is a covenant relationship and fidelity is the one thing I require with no compromise.

If I were the Alma of the Short Story, I would have just thought that my husband was just a little overexcited in seeing a friend whom he had not seen in a little less than 4 years. I say that because when Alma opened barely the door the first time, she only saw Ennis' back with the straining shoulders. And when she opened it a little bit more the 2nd time, the two guys were standing side by side. I think that if Alma had not been standing there, Ennis would have told Jack to wait while he got his hat and they would go somewhere. And, then he would have told Alma that he might not be back until morning.
If I were the Alma of the Movie, I would have asked Ennis to go with me into the living room, the door the guys were standing in when Jack talked to Alma was in a hallway inside the apartment. Alma was in the kitchen/dining room. I would have confronted him on the spot and ask him why were they kissing like they were a man and a woman when they were outside standing on the ground. I might have told him how shocked and embarassed I would have been to see that.
I have my own opinion in this situation and I think that Alma did believe that Ennis cheated on her when he was with Jack; but, he cheated by committing adultery with other women while being with Jack. That's why she said years later, "Jack Twist? Jack Nasty!"
I have known men who had sex with guys and their wives knew the guys but thought their husband were having sex with other women. The wives did not have a clue as to what was really going on; they just thought their husbands' friends were heterosexual swingers.
