That was my initial reading too, but after talking to my wife (who also MJRS), I start wondering if Robin and John should be swapped. Robin may not have been right to be angry, but it is probably not all that surprising - he's undergone a traumatic experience (imprisonment), and then found out that he's been cuckolded by the same man who'd imprisoned him.

If he's still irreconcilably pissed a few days later, well sure, screw him. But that he acts out initially - not great, but not that surprising. Shouldn't John be trying to help his friend save his relationship, rather than suddenly running off with Marion as soon as there's an opportunity?

Marion is unambiguously blameless (although running off with John without giving Robin a chance to clear his head seems flighty), and the Sheriff completely irredeemable - by any reasonable standard he coerced Marion in to having sex, and then derelicted his duty by releasing two people he'd imprisoned based on a bribe.

You're given the opportunity to read through the mini personality assessments for all answers - whoever wrote them has some severe projections and prejudices.
