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) |
but you are an outlier. |
+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/ |
