Why is my wife protecting the affair partner?

To start I had an affair. Then I found out that when I had mine she went and had one. Where I came clean about all and everything she still has not. She does not want to discuss it with me. I don't understand why my wife is defensive or protective of her affair partner and his family. She seems to put them and what would happen to them over us and me.

I also know she has talked with two of her female friends and one guy friend that is older and told them about her affair and mine. She wont even admit she told them when I said something after one of the women and the guy at different times slipped up about it and let info out. I just do not understand why she wont talk to me and tell me the truth when I tell her what I know about her affair and the little I know they know.

Any advice to help my racing mind

You cheated on her. She wasn’t enough. She cheated. Why do you want her? Someone truly in love doesn’t cheat. You’re both flawed and better off with different people.

You said “ one of the women”. Multiple. If you’re a serial cheater why do you care what your wife does? You didn’t care what you did to her.

Was hers sexual? Regardless, you said women. one of the women. Did you tell them you loved them? Why do you want to be with your wife?
What did you do when you met 8 times? I’m guessing something happened.
Meeting in public and not touching us not close to an affair. Care to be honest?

In my head it was because I did not tell my wife. I was meeting and talking to another woman. And I said it had started getting flirty and had started to change.
How so?
He would have said he chatted with, not had affair with. It’s his side of story and suddenly he mistakenly called it an affair.
