[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I'm trying to think this out logically. I have three choices (I think, let me know if you think of more):

1. Tell dad I know and tell him to tell mom.

He could deny it (but I screenshotted the emails), he could blow up and cut everyone off/basically go nuclear, he could be remorseful and try to fix things with my mom, he could get a divorce but nut nuclear.

2. Tell mom

She could divorce him first but it would be so bad for her financially, she could try to forgive him (opening her self up to divorce in the future?) or do nothing with the info

3. I do nothing

Maybe dad will end the affair on his own? I don't know. Mom may know and may want to keep it secret, this wouldn't embarrass her. If mom found out and divorced later and it somehow got out that I knew, it might ruin our relationship.

My husband says to do nothing, because they're adults and I don't know all the details. Maybe mom is condoning it, or at least looking the other way?

Another option (but probably popped into my head because I'm going a little crazy right now) is to be passive aggressive about him knowing. Talking to him about my "affair" (DH and I love each other very much this isn't real) but then telling him about the guilt and "if I were being cheated on I'd want to know." That sounds so immature typing it out now, haha!

Or I could anonymously email parties involved?

I need to sleep on this and think more clearly tomorrow.[/quote]

Tell your mom.  I would want to know.[/quote]
