[quote=Anonymous]OP take a look at Hilary Clinton as a good example of why putting it all out there is really just not a good idea if you want to stay together (ALL politics aside, seriously look at how the entire world talks about the sexual exploits of her husband still, 20 years after the fact).

This is just not stuff you want out there. You think you want it out there because you want everyone to treat him like shit for a year or two, but you're not looking down the road. You're not able to see that in five years, if you're together and have moved past it, you will NOT want people knowing about such an intimate and difficult part in your marriage and passing their own judgments.

Your DH is owning it. He isn't denying, he's confessed, and you really shouldn't underestimate how much suffering he's enduring just from being on the receiving end of your pain.

If you were divorcing then sure, he should tell his parents so you don't have to take the blame. But if you're sticking it out, keep it behind closed doors. The problem with shaming in the public eye is that the public eye only gets that snapshot, so they'll never change their opinion. [/quote]
