Just found her alone in voice chat with a "friend"

I have posted on here once before, to explain a bit about my history and some reservations I've had. Well now it seems like all my concerns were not so far fetched. I just so happened to check in on my wife to find her in a private voice conversation with someone she had promised me she was not going to speak with anymore. Her defense was that she just wanted a friend and that it was purely benign.

What I don't understand is how someone can sit there and attempt to justify behavior that had already been addressed as wrong, and hurtful, then to continue on that path and be shocked that it turns out poorly. This isn't some oopsie, didn't know any better situation. This guy clearly fit the profile of the type of man to avoid. Single, flirty, always being overly flattering to her. I warned her to stay away, and she agreed that it was not a good situation to be in. Yet here we are.

I feel like a fool for trusting this woman. I feel so disgusted for thinking that giving another chance was the right call. I don't really need any advice or anything, I just wanted to let some of my frustration out with words because I am stuck at work and have to pretend like everything is just fine and dandy. To those you who also have to deal with the pain and trauma involved in betrayal, I mourn with you. Life can really suck sometimes.
