If you have ever had a married AP, would you tell their spouse?

Wow, what happened on their side? Was it a ONS or worse ? Wait, you would, or you did? (you wrote email not emailed)

Sorry, I emailed, past tense.

He was Ivy League big law so he stayed married ... Not sure if he didn't want to lose 1/2 or why he stayed.

I did just that. Found out about DH's AP (not the first one unfortunately) and informed her husband.

I did this and the husband didn't believe me. Told me to get my facts straight.

I did and needless to say it was a terrible thing to do. Please don't unleash drama on an unsuspecting spouse like that. You already fucked their DH/DW. That damage is done, take your ball and go home, I beg you.

It adds drama but don't faithful spouses deserve to know if their own husband or wife is sleeping with someone else? Especially if it's not a one-time mistake? It's got impact on their lives even if they'd never find out.

It is true the damage is done. However, the spouse does not know the damage has been done. The spouse is entitled to know. Not least because, once a cheater always a cheater. They might be done with YOU but they'll surely move on to someone else.

This is a gross over generalization. It sounds like you got burned more than once. I'm sorry for that but it's not true of everyone.

- someone who cheated 15 years ago and has not cheated again (and won't)

+1, except not in a million years even though he lied to me about his marriage status when we started but, despite that, I love and respect him too much not to throw that grenade into his marriage. The affair is over.

Hell no. Why invite the drama and potential (yet warranted) crazy behavior?

Probably not, because why would I want to end the playtime?

I am unmarried (no children) he is married (no children). I have imagined telling her, just to break up their marriage. However, I would never, ever do that in real life. I like my low-drama life. His wife is his problem.

I took the advice of many on here (or one very adamant poster) and visited the chump lady website. She says you should tell. https://www.chumplady.com/2013/11/dear-chump-lady-do-i-tell-his-wife-i-was-cheating-with-her-husband/
