On the bright side, the one thing this unfortunate incident will do is create an opening for many couples to reconcile, now that the truth is out.

"We cannot be facile and say bygones will be bygones, because they will not be bygones and will return to haunt us. True reconciliation is never cheap, for it is based on forgiveness, which is costly. Forgiveness in turn depends on repentance, which has to be based on an acknowledgment of what was done wrong, and therefore on disclosure of the truth. You cannot forgive what you do not know. - Desmond Tutu
