I agree with others that he doesn’t actually love her. He doesn’t know her, at all, and usually found her annoying. This is guilt and an extinction burst
Actually, it would be more vindicating if she DOESN’T die. If she stays alive, he won’t enshrine her as this holy, lost, perfect woman, and would eventually realize she is frustrating, petty, and cold. And staying alive would force her to get her crap together and learn how to communicate
I am sticking with they’re all at fault. She misunderstood and never addressed it, purposefully making the relationship toxic in reparation for perceived slights, and exerting no effort to build a good relationship. While he tried a little to fix things, it wasn’t enough. He wasn’t used to that much effort, especially when it wasn’t reciprocated, and went with what was comfortable and easy, which was an affair. I hope they divorce, she dies, and he gives his mistress a massive settlement, since it’s clear he will never marry her (or he at least should’t, since it would be toxic after he declared his love for someone else in front of her, and also didn’t consider her in this mess) and she won’t be able to get a new position after this.
Huh, I’m too used to the misunderstanding trope being the ML acting like a complete ass so the FL ‘misunderstand’ his intentions. Pretty mundane words to get Chloe to completely check out of the relationship at the start.

Oh well, he should have just divorced her if he was unhappy. I don’t buy for a second that he didn’t because he was actually in love with her and just didn’t know it. This is just guilt and shame at being caught combined the realization that she’s seriously ill and dying.
