Ladybugmaam, I am not an OW but I recently rewatched Sex and the City and season 3 might be informational to you in this instance.
The main character, Carrie, has an A with her married ex. After they get caught by his wife and end the A, she tries desperately to "apologize" to the wife (in my opinion, this was a very selfish apology and was solely to appease her guilt and not to make amends. I don’t see any remorse in her actions).
I want to warn you, watching this could be triggering. The show portrays the entire affair and the fallout. It is brutal and Carrie and the WH are non-remorseful and selfish. But if you’re curious about her mindset, it could provide an insight into the mind of someone who doesn’t see things very clearly and someone who lacks integrity.
Best wishes on your healing

As another fWW, I think Pippin is spot on.
