Well, compared to many Hollywood husbands,

I'd say Jeff's character is pretty mild. After all, the character supposedly was a very successful author: we tend to treat fellows like this (think Mailer, Salinger, Updike) as Gods; seems unfair to skewer them when they begin to act like one.
Most of the guys here seem unable to remember that he had been aware of his wife's affairs for a long time: would that not unhinge a fellow just a tad, too?
Lastly, though, I find it strange you or the other anti-Jeffies don't recall the scene in which he VERY vulnerably asks her (in a suitably round about way) about her conversation with his father in which the man actually thought she might have been suggesting another try. Laura's comment--- the hatrred in her voice and the purposeful cruelty--- is one of the most hideous social acts I've seen committed to film.
And... it was in full view of the kids, too.
