Affair reveal - how to tell him?

Just found out that I have been the OW via DP’s wife. She’s not blaming me but we are trying to think of how to tell him we know.

DP hates confrontations and would normally just walk out to avoid it.

How do we tell him?

Step aside now and let this couple deal with it. I would tell the wife you want no part in their marriage and how it ends. Apologise for any hurt you have caused, albeit unintentionally and walk away.

Don’t get involved any further. Walk away and let her deal with the next stop. A dramatic reveal isn’t going to help you heal

Cut all ties with him and let the wife tell him.

His wife should just tell him and then sort out what she wants to do about it.

You go and sit in there living room with her and wait for him coming home then you both say F.R.O 🖕🏻and hand him all his stuff then you no longer ever engage
