Response to scene

During the class reading, I’ve noticed Swanson finding all of the events a big help for him so he can read & finish his novels. But in my opinion I think he’s justifying his actions saying that Sherrie and his daughter were a distraction for him and that he never truly loved Sherrie. Because during the novel every conversation he had with her it was so dull & it was rather irritating for him to be with her. Like at the beginning of the novel when they sat down to eat dinner he didnt want to be there. So I think that he’s not hurt how Sherrie took the news but how the consequences still haven’t sinked in.
