I think so, too. It's an extremely hard life lesson for the unfaithful spouse once they come out on the other side of it. My W is genuinely seeing the hurt she caused me from her betrayal and I do believe even in these early stages she'd never have an affair again, whether it's with me or in her next relationship. Once a cheater, always a cheater definitely doesn't always apply.
Agreed hard life lessons - whether an A or other, people learn when they hit rock bottom and almost lose everything...
