"I think DB lets the cheating spouse off the hook."
That's where you're wrong. What you're NOT GETTING is that you can't "force" someone to feel or do something they don't want.
In her mind, she felt justified to cheat because you did so first. And based on your relationship with your W, that's what everything is. It's a competition. You hurt me so I hurt you back.
"When does she take responsibility? I don't get that my actions made her have an affair and that's okay."
No one said it's 'okay'. But you have to start realizing that your actions were much more worse than you imagined. Just because you said 'sorry' doesn't mean that she forgives you.
"While she suffers no consequences? takes no responsibility."
You didn't 'suffer' any consequences for your A. In fact, you didn't come out and confess your A. You only did it because she found a poem you wrote. So you weren't being honest and took no responsibility. You showed regret and not remorse. The regret was that you were caught.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
