Name change as this is very outing if found.
A week ago I received a letter in the post from a friend. We have been friends for 15 years but not close, I think he considers us closer than I do because he isn't really into friendships. Anyway, he confessed an affair that he started when his wife was pregnant with their son. I follow his wife on social media but I don't know her other than that and we haven't seen each other for 6 years.
This affair was 3 years long but has apparently ended recently. I don't believe it will end. The letter gives me the contact details of the OW asking me that if my friend ever dies would I inform her? I've found her on FB, she is married too. Apparently started the affair whilst she was having IVF with her husband too.
There is so much more to this but I am feeling pretty pissed off that my friend has put this on me. He told me he confided in me because he knows I don't have connections to his family and friends that someone else he could tell might. I feel like I just want to cut him off for being such a selfish pr**k. AIBU? Part of me thinks it's not any of my business and therefore it shouldn't affect our friend but he has now actually made it my business and I don't like it.
