Her Husband's Affair Partner Kept The Cheating From Her Own Husband, So She Wants To Tell Him

If you knew that someone got cheated on by their spouse but they were still unaware, would you tell them, or stay out of it?

Close to five months ago, this woman found out that her husband was cheating on her with one of their close friends after a decade of marriage.

Her husband was physically and emotionally unfaithful to her, and she works at the same company as her husband and this friend of theirs. The husband of her husband's affair partner does not work with them.

"But prior to all this, the 4 of us were good friends. We each have 3 kids, and [the] kids go to the same school. Like many of us here, the days and weeks following [finding out about the infidelity were] the most awful, terrible time of our lives, and we're still navigating that," she explained.

"[My husband] recently admitted to me that...he cut things off with [his affair partner] and said to her there was no need for her to tell her husband and ruin her marriage. She said to him that she'd tell him when the time is right."

Her husband now believes it's not fair that their lives turned into a nightmare and they have had to work extremely hard to rebuild what he ruined, while his affair partner is over there acting like nothing ever happened between them and everything is perfect.

Her husband surprisingly wants his affair partner to go through misery as they did so that she can understand the impact of her decisions.

Several days ago, the husband of her husband's affair partner texted her regarding their children, and he mentioned that they hadn't spoken in some time. That's because she and her husband have intentionally created distance due to the affair coming out.

"I realized he was still in the dark about the affair. And I felt...IDK, pity for him? And guilt too? Like I was part of the cover-up," she continued.

"At first I wanted to tell him when I found out; I wanted their marriage to go through what I was going through. But I stopped myself because I don't know if they can survive it, and I pitied their kids."

"I also didn't want to take away any chance of them being able to reconcile if they wanted to, because him finding out from me would be different than her admitting it to him. If she does decide to admit [it] to him, then maybe there's a chance he'd consider her honestly as a chance for them to work things out."

She's left wondering if she should tell this clueless man or let things play out.

There's nothing wrong with hurrying karma up, but in all seriousness, her husband deserves to know. If this woman hasn't said anything to her husband by now, she never will, and she will comfortably keep this a secret, which isn't right.
