This is an awful article. The focus is more on boundaries and her rights that it does not focus on the cheating spouse (a woman in this case) taking responsibility for what she has done. The worst part is the emphasis on "No Details", not even his hair color, where she went with him, or who he was. As a professional counselor I can tell you this will drive a person a lot more crazy than having those details would. The injured spouse deserves to have their questions answered. Witholding information is continuing to keep secrets. If he doesn't want the details, fine, but if he does, as uncomfortable as it may be, you are obligated to be honest. It's the least a cheating spouse can do.
