Husband cheating on his mistress!

My husband broke up with me in Nov. After 15 years together he said he’d fallen in love with another woman he’d met 4 weeks before! He’s been living with her on and off since then.
Her husband died a year ago and she’s gone on holiday to deal with the anniversary leaving my husband in her house.
i signed into our home laptop today and found he was accessing dating sites looking for sex whilst she’s away!
should I let her know? She deserves better.

Definitely do not tell her. Either she won't believe you, or you'll end up with him trying to get back with you. No she does not deserve better. Let them get on with it and let her work him out for herself. Hopefully that won't happen until you're properly shot of him.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, it's way too early for that yet.

Ewww get yourself an STIi check and get this gross pig of a man out of your life.

Get the divorce done and finalised, wait until he’s marrying her and send her the evidence a couple of days before the big day. Maximum revenge on him for cheating and her for going along with it.

There’s no way I’d tell her. If they break up, he’ll be back at yours full time and you’ll never get rid of him. He’ll delay your divorce and be awful to live with out of pure spite because you’ve upset his plans. Even if he got back together with you, you’d know it was only because of circumstances and that he’d be cheating on you again within days until he got a better offer. This is going to sound really harsh and I don’t mean it to be, but if he wanted to leave her then it would have been easier for him to have cheated with you, rather than trying to charm complete strangers.

Keep quiet, get divorced and get your revenge by living your best life. These two aren’t going to live happily ever after and you’ll be able to gloat as he bounces from one miserable relationship to another. Mind you, I’d be tempted to take screenshots in case he ever needed any encouragement to bugger off.

Hell no

as it might impact divorce and it might mean she boots him out
