Did Nelson overreact when he found out Ruth saw Tim and Michelle at the Gym?

Yes. But he's had things bottled up all day, plus the alcohol- not the best circumstances for keeping a level head.

Yes. But to be fair, he's probably feeling very raw at the moment; and a bit of an idiot for not suspecting; and wondering whether everyone else knew what was going on when he didn't have a clue.

Yes...but he'll get over it as soon as he starts thinking straight again. We know what Ruth saw but the way she said it Harry shouldn't have thought any more about it than if she had said she saw them at the library or the store. They couldn't be expected to call ahead to see if the other was at the gym.

I don't think Nelson overreacted. He probably felt like the whole world knew before he did.

I think a lot of it is the humiliation factor. Everyone now knows and he assumes they have all along.

Yes he did over react and I think this was further caused by Ruth having already having rejected his advances.
