It’s wonderful that he is seeking help. But. There is always a but. This behavior is a compulsion that might have been his way of, weirdly, feeling less sad. He would get the high from the planning and executing the cheating but probably crash right back into sadness. When people live with depression they will do anything to get out of it, even cheating. So letting go of what he used to try to manage the stress he constantly lives under will be hard to let go of. I hope he succeeds in curing himself.
When things go wrong, don’t go with them. Elvis
