Trying to save her reputation and treat me like a fool, that's the ticket

"Hey can you you do some contracting for me?"

"Yes, if you pay me"

Guess what you mouth-breathing mongoloid, blackmail and coercion require a threat of some kind and this scenario has none. The information that she has been seeing someone else is already public domain. You can't use information already part of common knowledge as blackmail by the very definition of the term.

She wants a service for me from someone she cheated on, to which the hypothetical response is "You need my help after cheating? How about you blow me." She made an absurd request and is hypothetically being met with an absurd response. Quid pro quo. No one is being forced to do anything. I don't disagree that the right thing to do in this situation is to let her suffer the consequences of her actions, but if her response to "blow me" is "ok" that is her damn call, and that does NOT make the guy in THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION a rapist.

By your VERY flawed logic if a husband asks his wife to cover for him and call his work sick so he can go golfing for the day instead and she says "Yes, if you go down on me" that makes her a blackmailing, rapist piece of shit. By your logic.
