I haven't tried it myself, but someone fact-checked this by inputting the same prompt and got a much saner answer that actually had some good if generic advice. Good chance there's a past prompt telling GPT to act like that.

Just tried on 4o (same model in the picture) on a fresh convo with no context.

It sounds like you’re experiencing some deep regret and possibly confusion over what led to your actions. Cheating is a significant breach of trust, and while feeling sad and alone are valid emotions, they don’t justify a choice that can cause lasting harm to someone else—especially a partner who was likely exhausted from working long hours.

What’s important now is to reflect honestly on why this happened. That includes:

  • Taking full responsibility for your actions, without blaming your wife’s behavior.

It goes on, but never excuses “my” actions.
