You are also assuming that his wife was not complicit in the situation.
I suspect he did have an affair. But that is not a common reason for quitting.
You are assuming that the affair was real, and not a ruse.

Yes I assume the affair was real. If the wife was complicit (which I don’t think)...I’m sure she did not want it to become public knowledge and humiliate her and her children.
Hey...if you’re going to cheat on your spouse...get a divorce. That part is black and white to me. If he had just got a divorce and wanted to play the field....he would still be the head of CIA and have a bright future. But no, he threw his good name away for a bit of secret side action. Blooming stupid. Arrogant. Stupid.
The affair is not the news...IMO. What’s news is that the head of CIA put himself in the position to be blackmailed. So yes, he did the honorable thing by quitting. But he needs to continue to do the right thing and get his backside to Congress and answer questions put before him. IMO he’s lost any right to having a shred of privacy on this matter. Country first soldier.
