I love this, this is like the first time I want the divorced couple to get back together. To me it makes sense why she's not good at communicating, actually both of them. But to be fair to Victor he doesn't know, it also makes sense why she didn't tell him everything (about the abuse etc.) She wants to be seen as perfect by the person she loved and Victor is low-key a mess, I suspect he didn't love her in the beginning or he has difficulty in expressing it normally, considering what had happened with his mother it shows that he may not have a normal upbringing. When the betrayal happened she told him the truth and he didn't believe it, this is something that can't be blamed to either of them, to Victor who had been betrayed and to Scarlet who doesn't even remember what happened. Hopefully in the next chapters Victor will believe when she says she doesn't remember and it can be investigated. Though it does feel like after being divorced he is at least realizing? Or showing that he loves her. I hope he realizes he can show weakness/vulnerability around her.
These two are people who grew up with abuse so expecting them to communicate properly is a bit unrealistic, considering it's setting is at a time when therapy was demonized and technology is considered a sin. And about that, it's reminiscent of how the Catholic Church controlled scientists and engineers back in the day, like how Galileo was imprisoned (house arrest) for claiming the earth revolved around the sun and his book got banned. Likely it's more of a control the masses tactic rather than actual belief, like burning books, and banning knowledge.
