"Jax, you heartless bastard! Are you calling me from that woman's bed? Is this your way of coming clean? Have you been with that shameless woman all along?"

"Honey, what are you talking about? I'm not in any woman's bed right now; I'm on a mission at Golden Light Hill. This mission is dangerous, and I might not make it back. That's why I'm calling to confess, as a sort of final message. Just remember to take care of yourself. If I don't come back, don't hold onto my memory forever. Find someone else and be happy. And our child... I trust you to take good care of him. I've got to go now. Goodbye!"

Jax, with his background in psychology, knew very well that framing the confession this way could soften his wife's anger and possibly lead to forgiveness.

By doing so, when he returned home the next day, he just needed to look a bit battered and maybe inflict a few harmless injuries on himself. His wife would likely forget his infidelity in light of his apparent suffering.
