Melinda answers “Did Roy commit adultery after he was...”

Anita asked this question about An American Marriage:

Did Roy commit adultery after he was married, but before he was arrested? The lingerie statement where he bought 2 and gave Celestial one made me wonder. Yet she didn't get too mad. I am not done with the book yet, so I'm sorry if it tells it later. It will change my perspective however.

But I also don't think we know for sure …moreThe book never gives a definitive answer about this. I understood it to mean that yes, this was him cheating. But I also don't think we know for sure if they were married at this point. (I also don't know if that would make a difference to Roy and Celestial, or not)(less)
