If your husband had a month long affair with colleague, would you want to know?

If your husband of just 3 years had an affair with a colleague for a month, which he initiated would you want to know if that affair had now ended?

It should be noted that the couple in question also have a 7 month old baby.

The affair involved lots of daily messaging, sexting and pictures, meeting a few times for kissing and touching and two times for sex.

The affair ended when the other woman stopped it because she had feelings for the husband but some more sexting happened after this, initiated by her. The husband then had an accident and was off work for a few weeks and decided himself that the affair should end.

If you were the wife would you want to know?

Yes

hidinginthenightgarden · 29/05/2019 08:13

Absolutely yes

Worlds0kayestmum · 29/05/2019 08:13

Yes absolutely

Sodamncaughtinthemiddle · 29/05/2019 08:15

Yes definitely

EnglishRose13 · 29/05/2019 08:16

I would, yes.

Who are you in this scenario?

AguerosAngel · 29/05/2019 08:17

Yes. And my marriage would be over too.

MummyofTw0 · 29/05/2019 08:17

Unless the wife is your best friend, I wouldn't get involved x

S0uthernBelle · 29/05/2019 08:18

Yes, I’d definitely want to know.

MRex · 29/05/2019 08:18

Yes

UpsydaisyandIgglePiggleareatit · 29/05/2019 08:18

Absolutely. My marriage and my trust are based on our commitment to one another. If one side of a couple is shitting on the other (and regardless of excuses cheating is the absolute ultimate, inexcusable disrespect) the other side has every right to know and make an informed decision based on the facts.

SleepingStandingUp · 29/05/2019 08:20

Yes of course. Even if she's the first, I vet she won't be the last.

WitsEnding · 29/05/2019 08:20

Yes. Although I haven't always been brave enough/considered it important enough to call the H at the time out on it, I've always been glad of the information. The truth will set you free - to decide how to live your own life.

Furrydogmum · 29/05/2019 08:20

Yes I would want to know, if I decided to stay in the marriage I wouldn't want the ow to have secret knowledge if we had to cross paths at some point.. I probably wouldn't stay in the marriage though.

glasshalf · 29/05/2019 08:21

Yes

onceacheat · 29/05/2019 08:21

Doesn't matter who I am really as it doesn't change what he has done. So, even if he did the right thing in the end, you would still want to know?

DinkyTie · 29/05/2019 08:21

Yes of course. But let me guess, you'd only be doing it because it's the right thing to do Hmm

Whatsername7 · 29/05/2019 08:21

Yes. BUT, If you are the OW, question yourself - WHY are you wanting justification for telling his wife? It isn't because you feel bad or that she deserves to know. Because if she had been important enough to be considered then you wouldnt have fucked her husband. Be honest about why you want to tell her, because you are going to destroy her life. If you are not the OW, please ignore the above

glasshalf · 29/05/2019 08:22

If you are the Ow which I suspect you are then what are the motives for telling her? Because you feel sorry for her or jealousy that he didn't pick you?

onceacheat · 29/05/2019 08:24

But it doesn't matter if I am the OW, the husband, or just someone in the know. Everyone has said they would want to know... as would I.

Furrydogmum · 29/05/2019 08:24

Caveat - I think finding out from the other woman would probably be as painful as it could get..

HolesinTheSoles · 29/05/2019 08:24

No I wouldn't want to know.

TheoriginalLEM · 29/05/2019 08:25

It absolutely does matter who you are. Because she doesn't know and if you are the OW which your post suggests you are, your motivation is not honest.

Yes the husband is a cunt in tgese scenarios but so is anyone who knowingly gets involved with a married man

DinkyTie · 29/05/2019 08:26

Agree Furrydogmum and a total fucking pig act by the OW.
