Just found out my OH is married. Should I tell his wife? How?

I'm 24, and I met my OH after bumping into him a number of places around the city- it started off as sort of a joke but then it was TOO much of a coincidence and he asked me out officially with the line "you're probably already planning to go but would you like to go to X with me next weekend?"

He's great- sexy, clever, compassionate. He's quite a bit older than me but it's never really felt like it, we have a lot in common.

Neither of us have ever said we're looking for something official. I DID trust him with everything but I'm in no rush to get married, I'm not the sort of person to do anything without considering it thoroughly. We've been seeing each other about a year, we've gone away a lot but we spend a lot of time in the city as well so I never had the feeling he was hiding anything. I've met his sister and friends, but was never officially introduced as his OH, but I liked that.

Anyway, I go to a local bar tonight and he's there. With a woman and two teenage daughters who are clearly twins and clearly his, he didn't see me but I watched for 10 minutes and saw all his little touches to his wife's shoulder, pats to her knee, and at one point, a brief kiss on top of her head when he left the table to go to the bar.

I'm shaking. What do I do?

Who was the husband of Amanda thingy who was in Silent Witness - he was much better looking than either and had more money.

I really hope the OP actually is a troll after the unhelpfulness of some of the posters here. I wouldn't like a person in a real life situation have to read this bollocks.

peppapigmustdie · 01/11/2013 20:18

In defence of the op I lurked for at least a year reading threads. Only joining on a day I needed advice.

Amanda's husband was called Roger and was played by a friend of mine called Rob!

Lighthousekeeping · 01/11/2013 20:20

No Amanda want married to Max was she? Wasn't it Jonathan?

reelingintheyears · 01/11/2013 20:21

Ahhh, Roger.

Could never shag a Roger.

BetterDrownedThanDuffers · 01/11/2013 20:21

Roger Huntingdon!

What through the thread was that people where giving her advice as if she was still in the bar watching her bf and his family whilst typing on here. She actually never said she was still there. I just thought it would be very calm of her to sit on here drinking and watching and getting advice without been spotted by him.

AlexaChelsea · 01/11/2013 20:24

Oh god I need an update

Lighthousekeeping · 01/11/2013 20:25

I couldn't understand where the poster actually was/is and all the comments and "advice" got confusing.

SteamWisher · 01/11/2013 20:26

Then report it Lighthousekeeping!

nopanicandverylittleanxiety · 01/11/2013 20:30

That must be a standard thing I was seeing someone for a few months. It turns out where he used to take me was his parent's house as he is actually married with 2 kids, pretending to be single. Serial lying shagger. Grrrr.

I didn't tell his wife, possibly partly because I only found out he was married months after our relationship had finished.

Lighthousekeeping · 01/11/2013 20:35

I've never felt the urge to report anything on here. No matter how questionable. It's not in my nature.

I can't imagine going to a blokes house and not even using the bathroom and having a little noses.

Max was married to Patricia. I haven't seen them in anything else.

HissyFucker · 01/11/2013 20:36

This thread starts at 7pm, with the OP and her supposed BF, and his family already well in situ.

OP later calls her BF for company.

What time is it where the OP is? Who was OP meeting, no-one? Hence her need to call her BF? Something's not sitting right.

I'm reporting it, but just wanted to raise the subject of why...

SteamWisher · 01/11/2013 20:38

It's not in my nature

It's MN policy. Report if you think there's a troll. I do it!

ImperialFucker · 01/11/2013 20:39

OP, I just don't understand. Were you seeing him whenever you wanted? Were you calling in unannounced? What about Christmas and Saturdays and holidays?

I can see how an affair could last a year if you knew he was married, but I just can't see how you wouldn't know he was with someone else.

Anyway, why not text a friend who's in the same pub and ask her to take a photo?

Lighthousekeeping · 01/11/2013 20:40

She called her bf because she was advised to I think. Whilst watching his relation? Something like that.

Lighthousekeeping · 01/11/2013 20:40

Reaction!

HandragsAndGladbags · 01/11/2013 20:42

Happened to my friend, and she had met his daughter and they shared a flat together.

How did it go OP?
