..but things get complicated! The wife (having had the right to divorce)...moves on. She doesn't want him back (trust has been totally broken). Or, perhaps she felt she was the one who had the right to remarry, and did so. So just as in real life,...things become horribly complicated and sticky. What was that saying?...."You can't un-scramble an egg"?

EDIT: Perhaps it could be like the situation of a particular well-known televangelist of some years ago. After affairs became known,..wife leaves and gets divorce. Afterwards (after he serves his prison term for tax evasion)..he re-marries and re-establishes a new ministry. Has a fairly modest, but good following of his "new" TV ministry.

None of that was a part of the scenario.
