Privacy: closing the door to poop
Secrets: keeping the poop from your spouse

One is good. (healthy boundaries)
One is bad. (unhealthy boundaries)

(to paraphrase a PDT)

Trust is earned. She has told you that she is unworthy of your trust.

Personally, I would trust but verify. Find out if she told you the truth. (the whole truth and nothing but the truth) If she did, great no harm no foul.

If she didn't, confront and set boundaries.

She got a big sigh of relief by admitting her affair. She probably didn't tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
