Confront the Other Woman?

Hi. Looking for some advice. I discovered my husbands affair a few weeks back.

I'm still not convinced that he's being honest about the extent of the affair (ie says they didn't have sex) or how many times they met up. I believe he didn't have sex with her however I think they went further then he's told me and they've met up more times than he's said.

In order for me to be able to consider reconciling I need to know that I have the truth about the extent of the affair. I don't want explicit details but otherwise I'll continue to drive myself crazy with questions about times he went out / worked late etx.

He won't give me these answers so the only other way I can find out is by contacting her. I've read loads of people say that there's no point as she'll lie just as much however in this situation, she doesn't know that he was married. He just suddenly cut contact with her when I found out.

Anyone been in this situation (ie other woman had no idea he was married) and regretted contacting her or glad they did?

TYSM in advance.

Do whatever you need to do to move forwards

Wow didn't expect this to be so controversial.

@HoppingPavlova no one is saying you do have an obligation to tell her the truth but I'm not sure what she'd have to gain by giving me "short thrift". I've done nothing to her.

Anyway, food for thought here. I'm also thinking that I don't want to come across desperate and undignified by begging her for details which I obviously can't get from my husband.

The very least he can do is be honest with you? If not , I would question why you want to reconcile.
