Gerald is upset because his actions will effect his coming marriage. Over the course of Act II, we see that Gerald and Sheila's relationship has definitely changed..... not for him, but for Sheila. Gerald's indiscretion has raised a barrier and destroyed trust, which becomes most evident when Sheila tells him, “this has made a difference ... We’d have to start all over again.”

Please post your questions separately.
