Slept with exDHs best mate

STBexDH and I are recently separated (4months). We're currently still living together as finances don't allow seperate residences until the house is sold and there's some some work which needs finishing before we can do that (get building regs sign off on an extension).

Despite living together we are very much separated - seperate bedrooms, separate finances beyond mortgage and council tax/ bills. We have specific days we are responsible for the children etc. We have completely separate social lives etc.

Despite this, we are very amicable for the sake of the kids and a comfortable living environment.

I went out with work last night and got a bit merry. Whilst out I saw one of STBexDHs best mates that I've always got on with and once worked with. After my work colleagues left we stayed out chatting and drinking. And some how kissing and getting a taxi back to his where we had sex. I definitely consented to the sex, I'm not concerned about that, and we used a condom (he's a total man whore). But what do I do? Do I ask him not to tell exDH? Do I tell exDH?

Im single, he's single, so on one hand it's not an issue. But it also IS an issue and I think exDH but would be unhappy because of who it is. I don't want to make the living arrangements more difficult than they need to be, for the kids more than anything.

What should I do?

I just think that this was a line not to be crossed . I wouldn’t dream of having sex with any of oh’s friends if we separated and Id be furious if he slept with any of mine. It just feels so disrespectful . Telling him will cause so many problems , keeping quiet is best.

You don't go for your ex friends especially when you've got history e.g.marriage and dc. It was very shitty on your behalf. Imagine tqhe outrage if he shagged one of your best mates.

To to put a dampner on things but between saying goodbye to him and when you messaged him asking for his silence (likely longer as I'm pretty sure you didn't rush to MN straight away!)... what makes you think he didn't tell someone?

If someone asked me to keep it a secret (and I'd already told people), I'd probably offer the same response as him... yep, sure, I won't (anymore)...
