He presented himself as the picture of the morally-upright, traditionalist husband and father, while keeping up a [[TheMistress mistress]] on the side long enough for it to border on bigamy, as well as cheating on both his wife and mistress by having affairs with other women. Kitty and Justin take it especially hard when they learn the truth.
