I am wondering if the drinking aspect of the story was merely a "technical assist" for the story, to explain why he couldn't say what "he" was thinking at the time this stuff was going down.
Analog, interesting admission! I would submit that perhaps the reason you you more sympathetic to the first story than to the second is that when he was telling it from his viewpoint, he didn't say anything that would indicate that he was "emotionally cheating". But when the actions are presented without the pretend filter of innocenct intentions in the mind of the person doing these things and we have only the actions to evaluate, it sure does look more like cheating to the observer.
This whole thing kinda makes me wonder if it's a psych. class homework experiment or something. LOL.
