I think it's kinda stupid to go get laid by a hooker (or the wife's sister) just out of injured pride -- it sounded like the wife was having an affair, not just randomly fucking, and that's not the same thing. But I'm a female (on the internet, at least).

Here's the problem (and why sebby is kind of right): In most cases, no matter how progressive you are or think you are, if you're a woman and you cheat on your husband and he lives with it, you're going to lose respect for him. That's just the way people are programmed.
Hell, without knowing more, I would go so far as to say that in the current case, the wife
wants her husband to react. There are accidents and there are accidents. She is fucking someone else (probably leaving all sorts of clues for awhile) and then finally leaves an email open for him to find? Come on. On some level she is telling him to do something. Whether it is "Get pissed at me" (a by-product of which is probably the knowledge that he will fuck someone else in return) or "Leave me" or just "Pay some sort of attention to me," she wants a reaction.
Doing nothing will not work. She will not respect him if he stays and does nothing. And it will torture him if he does. Pulling up images of your wife getting fucked by some other guy for the rest of your life will not work unless you have some dirty little images to counter them.
I wish the poor sap luck, though.
