Should I speak to the wife 6 years later?

I 37F was with someone 39M for 3 months when I found out he was married with a kid on the way. I found out it wasn't the first time he cheated during their relationship either. He cheated also before they got married. The guy is a compulsive liar. The reason I didn't speak then was that his wife was pregnant with their kid and I didn't want to cause any harm. Now I found out they had a second kid who is one. I myself moved on of course and my own kid.

However my conscience has been eating me up all these years. Should I speak up anonymously?

Don't be ridiculous!

And what's with the '39F' business? 🤦‍♀️ This is Mumsnet not Reddit!

Thank you!
I don't like the Reddit look either.

If you have 'moved on' why are you still thinking about this?

You have no issues of conscience if you were not aware he was married.

You would be an absolute drama llama to rake this up now.

I always find the use of the word "kid" quite odd in this context.
I had a kid....sounds a bit contrived

Why would you muck rake like this six years after the event?
Leave them alone.

If you were going to speak up then it should have been at the time.

There’s no point bringing it up now and if you do, I think she won’t believe you or believe crazy stalker story that he’ll feed her.

No. I’m not denying a twat but leave well enough alone. You will only be assuaging your own conscience and no one will thank you for dragging this up now. You didn’t know he was married and this wasn’t your fault so move on with your head held high and take comfort from the knowledge that you had a lucky escape from this knobber.

No.
