Other people can be wronged in the case of alcoholism as well. I'm sure you are aware it's not solely a problem of the person with the drinking problem, even though of course they are the ones primarily affected.
In any case, just because you wrong someone this doesn't automatically imply you should be publicly exposed for all to see. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't; it depends on the nature of what you did. I don't think infidelity is an act that warrants public exposure and shaming. I think if the wronged partner finds out and then outs you, they are probably justified... I mean, it's about them as well as you, and I can understand their rage. But what does a perfect stranger have to do with anything in this matter?
