Is Cid cheating on Edea?

[Serapy]

They keep thier distance most of the time in VIII... I don't think they actually loved each other.

They were apart because EDEA WAS POSSESSED and new she would be a threat. After she gives up her power we see them at the Orphanage, and and at the end of the game, they are again together, with her looking normal.

If Cid really loved Matron, he would come closer to her, cry with her, or whatever. He didn't. Instead, he used his head to take care of the situation; by ordering the SEEDs to kill the sorceresses.

Cid didn't even look that bad when he's acknowledged that you're ordered to assassinate Edea.

The ending party is a different story. Of course, why wouldn't they be together when everybody else were celebrating?

1. Her name is Edea.

It's Matron. Edea was just a code name for her being a sorceress.

2. It's not necessary for them to be married for Edea to tell Cid about this fact.

Guaranteed financial control and/or preventing lawsuits.

3. It's ALREADY a time paradox.

If it was a time paradox, he wouldn't be able to tell Matron about the ideas at all. Actually, we don't know what kind of impacts do time paradoxes bring in VIII, do we?
