Just found out my OH is married. Should I tell his wife? How?

[Anniemannie]

I'm 24, and I met my OH after bumping into him a number of places around the city- it started off as sort of a joke but then it was TOO much of a coincidence and he asked me out officially with the line "you're probably already planning to go but would you like to go to X with me next weekend?"

He's great- sexy, clever, compassionate. He's quite a bit older than me but it's never really felt like it, we have a lot in common.

Neither of us have ever said we're looking for something official. I DID trust him with everything but I'm in no rush to get married, I'm not the sort of person to do anything without considering it thoroughly. We've been seeing each other about a year, we've gone away a lot but we spend a lot of time in the city as well so I never had the feeling he was hiding anything. I've met his sister and friends, but was never officially introduced as his OH, but I liked that.

Anyway, I go to a local bar tonight and he's there. With a woman and two teenage daughters who are clearly twins and clearly his, he didn't see me but I watched for 10 minutes and saw all his little touches to his wife's shoulder, pats to her knee, and at one point, a brief kiss on top of her head when he left the table to go to the bar.

I'm shaking. What do I do?

[jonicomelately]

Run like the wind and never look back.

[RandomMess]

What do you want to do?

You could just cut all contact with him or you could go and throw a large drink over him and then cut all contact with him.

[ziggiestardust]

Run! Oh my God!

I'm so sorry for your shock though

[Holdthepage]

Dump him like he is radioactive.

[BadgersRetreat]

I think I'd walk away and don't look back. Look on it as a lucky escape. Wonder when he was planning to tell you the bastard

[Bearandcub]

Tell him what you saw and that's the reason he is never to contact you again.

[Anniemannie]

Ha no worries about the dumping! I've lost all respect for him and feelin incredibly bad for his wife. Do I tell her?

[TiredDog]

Have you never been to his house in the year?

[Lweji]

Are you still there?

I might well go to the table, pretend I didn't realise and introduce myself.

I any case, LTB.

(not sure you are calling him OH. He's not, is he?)

[TiredDog]

. Better what on earth made you think that?

[itsmeisntit]

Ok so he may have twin daughters, but was he or she wearing a wedding ring? they could be separated?
You need to ask him

[HissyFucker]

Are you in the uk?

[PrincessFlirtyPants]

Oh my, what a horrible man.

Agree with the others, dump dump dump.

[itsmeisntit]

Tell him you saw him out and let him explain. Don't say who you saw him with or where you saw him. let him provide the details

[MummyofIsla]

Are you sure it's exactly what it seems. I know it looks bad but it could be his ex-wife (on good terms) or a relative (hence why children might look like the could be his.) I would ask him outright before jumping to any conclusions.

[LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood]

Dump him. Absolutely. Nothing he can say will excuse this.

But don't go and expose him in front of his wife and children. They have done nothing to deserve the humiliation and upset.

[Norudeshitrequired]

Do not go to the table - for his daughters sake, it wouldn't be fair.

[HootShoot]

No don't tell her, its not fair on his daughters, but make damn sure he sees you before you leave the bar.

[NandH]

That's awful, are you sureeeee she's his wife?? If so then yes you must tell her!!

[WipsGlitter]

Sister? Close friend? It's a bit of a jump to assume she's his wife and daughters. I'd have gone over. As someone upthread said have you been to his house. I'd be amazed he introduced you to his sister if he was married.

[PukingCat]

How long have you been seeing him?

Did he tell you that he had children at least?

Id go and introduce myself as someone else said and see what happens.

[NandH]

Oh yes obviously not in front of the daughters but definitely tell her. I never understand people that say don't, why wouldn't you want to know if your husband is a lying cheat???

[monkeyfacegrace]

I'd walk up, give him a kiss, and say hello. Introduce yourself

[Anniemannie]

That's why it was a shock- I've been to his house! He told me he lived at his parents old house as they'd moved abroad, but it's huge and I didn't poke around. It just NEVER crossed my mind that he'd have children. I feel so sick and angry.

Better- I couldn't give a ff if you don't believe me, quite honestly I've got more pressing issues on my mind, but thanks ever so much for your input.
