Anyone else hoped for forgiveness

Ya. All zero of it. There's no coming back from that.
Sorry, but the minute they finished that embrace and walked out of that courtyard, the disease that their marriage was infected with would have begun taking an even greater toll. You have to understand the way the mind works.
It's almost like an internal Stockholm Syndrome. Their individual states up until then - hers of suspicion, anger, hurt, and righteousness and his of victimization and resignation, neatly provided both of them excuses to avoid dealing with the reality of what had happened to their love. There was no more need for self examination - they had their roles to play.
With the revelations at the end, they don't have those roles to lose themselves in anymore. Now, there is no reason for them not to have loved each other fully. And they'd try - but no matter how much they'd try, what was lost could never be regained and what happened would never be forgotten. They couldn't have touched each other without asking themselves whether they were doing it because they owed it to each other and that's the way it is supposed to be, or because they truly wanted each other. And if they tried to believe the latter, they'd run smack into the question of why they'd needed those roles in the first place. Did they really want to be wrong about each other? The questions, doubts, and guilt would be relentless.
It would not be long before the accusations and bitter resentment would bleed into everything they said and did. That's when the real pain starts. When he starts to punish her for what she's taken from him without even knowing he's doing it. And then she him, because in her mind she'd blame him for everything he is that made him so easy for her to lose faith in.
Truth be told? One of them, most likely Chantel, would end up dead after some crescendo of a blowup that took place after the almost certain affairs were discovered. Either that? Or one of them would kill themselves. -

I disagree, obviously they may have issues but they both were bad to each other. I thought underneath it all they really cared for reach other and they take the long road of making up and forgetting. That was my take on it.
