My Wife Divorced Me After I Confessed to Cheating Once

My wife divorced me after I admitted that I cheated once during our five-year marriage. I had been faithful until she travelled. A friend visited my home, tempted me, and I gave in. When my wife returned, guilt troubled me for a week. She noticed something was wrong and assured me that I could tell her anything, so I confessed. That confession ended our marriage. I have remarried, but I still regret telling her. I believed honesty would set me free, but it cost me my relationship. Do spouses need to know every mistake, or are some secrets better left untold?
