“Yep. They really should have had some class and not published the emails.”
He blew it big time, I hope it is worth the cost!
I’m betting she blew it, and that was the source of the addiction.
I feel for him and his family. It is never worth the cost but some good things can come out of such things if he and his wife can work through this.

It turned out for the better. We worked things out without the baggage of that added betrayal for which I am thankful.
