An honest explanation would be more interesting to me, so that I can examine where everybody went wrong, and how it all happened (and I do include the non-cheating spouse in the everybody).

I think it would be hard for me to trust that a fast apology in this scenario would be sincere. Acknowledgment of what happened - "Yes, I did it in the library with Ms. Peacock" would be better than "I'm sorry." But I also am not in this position.

One person I know's first words when confronted with cheating were "I want a divorce" which at least seems to the point.

Sure, but OP asked about FIRST WORDS. That doesn't mean a long-term improvement in behavior.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the family name is Peafowl. Her husband is Mr. Peacock. She is Ms. Peahen.

This sounds like the Jim and Megan Edmunds story.

Him: “Those texts are from years ago!”

Me, holding his phone in front of his face: “This one is from today.”

"But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the screams gettin' louder (It wasn't me) ....
She stayed until it was over Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creepin' with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked
Bangin' on the bathroom floor
I had tried to keep her from what
She was about to see
Why should she believe me
When I told her it wasn't me?"
