Legal Question in Technology Law in Florida

My boyfriend and I sometimes access each other's email to take care of various things for each other. I never thought anything of it and never worried to memorize his password. Recently with his permission I had to access his email to take care of a document for him. While pulling up the email I needed, I saw an email with a suspicious subject matter, opened it and discovered he was seeing someone else while with me. I have since printed all these graphic emails and discovered the woman he is seeing is also in a relationship with someone else and he knows of it. His emails to her are very caring and he seem to give her flowers and money as well. I have decided I will move on and have not discussed these emails with him. MY QUESTION IS : Can I send the emails I have printed to this woman's partner and would that be legal? My boyfriend denied he is in a relationship with anyone. My boyfriend resides in Connecticut.

It's not illegal under Florida or federal law to access someone's email (or print them out) if you have permission to access the email.
