Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?

I don't know when this trend started but it was certainly more than 80 years ago and was or is still commonplace in Canada, at least among the elderly.

X or X means kiss. So XXX or xxx would mean kisses. O or o means hugs so xoxoxo means hugs and kisses.

British people do NOT ALWAYS end their missives with xxx.

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?
