The affair may statistically die upon exposure, but if the wounded party is the one who EXPOSES, for whatever motivation, I can see this as very damaging for possible R. It would be a deal breaker for me, anyway, if I were in an affair, and my partner "exposed" it to the public.
Just being honest here.
