From my own experience, I think my XW has suffered enough. She caught her STD and may have needed the hysterectomy because of some other virus she picked up from the bar hoping encounters. But I do know that she is sincerely sorry and would like a time machine so as to undo the past.
Your STBXH may someday may reveal to you the immense shame and regret he has of the huge betrayal he has done. Just remember about your first H who years after believes now that you and he had a good thing and it was the maturity of yourselves at the time that spoiled that marriage.
