The answer

Indeed, Allah forgives the sinner if he repents and resolves not to return to his sin; rather, He transforms his evil deeds into good deeds. There are other reasons for the forgiveness of sins, including brokenness and submission to Allah. Reproaching a Muslim for his sin is a characteristic of the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah) and is considered a sin, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade reproaching Muslims and seeking out their faults. On the contrary, a repentant person has sanctity, and one must turn away from those who have repented (in a negative sense). As for someone who exposes a Muslim and does not conceal his fault, he has committed a forbidden act. It is advised to be patient, seek refuge in Allah, adhere to the legal hijab, change jobs if possible, associate with righteous women, and read the Qur'an and the Prophetic biography.
