Obviously empathy isn't high on her list of positive qualities, so I guess not.

Yes, there is a point in "wallowing" in what happened and why. If you don't look critically at your actions and the reactions of those around you, you go on through life obliviously certain that whatever you do, you must be in the right. Maybe some wallowing will help peter see where he didn't recognize the signs that she was unhappy, or the signs she was cheating. Maybe she could do with some guilty introspection to understand why she was too much of an emotional coward to initiate a breakup instead of betraying him.

I thought I was talking to you about your obvious implication that it was ok for this cheater to cheat because she was unhappy. "She just wasn't happy and thats ok too" looks like you expect him to forgive her for being too selfish to grab her vagina and quiet it down for long enough to act like an adult.
