Funny, I have always thought that the man who cheats on his wife, and then goes and confesses to her begging forgivness is a coward. Just like going to confession, you do what the priest says and your sins are absolved.
Had he determined, as he said, that the affair was over, kept his mouth shut and lived with what he had done, that would have taken guts. YMMV
Of course he would also have had to be more discrete in the first place.
