Should I tell the husband of the other woman about his wife's affair with my husband
In November I called my husband on his cell to ask where the car was...he forgot to turn his phone off and I heard a 15 minutes conversation between him and a mother of our kids playmates. They were in the car together in his employers parking lot...After saying goodnight to my kids I went to her house and confronted her...she denied it. The next morning my husband screamed at me for going to her house, evidentally she called him and told him I had been there. He said that I was not to EVER go to her house again. I told him I wanted him to stop seeing her..he said he wouldn't because she is his "friend"..I asked if I could be her "friend" too, he said "no" because she doesn't want to be my "friend". I should have told him to leave right then and there, but I didn't. Eventually I became very depressed, nagging him constantly about internet porn, giving her a Valentine card, handmade Christmas gift. He is making her and her two daughters each a jewelry box in our garage. Of course he wouldn't admit it, but I knew. He has her two daughters (age 16,14) email addresses in his email address book, yet doesn't even have our son's email address. He couldn't take my constant nagging anymore, so he finally moved out on 5/1. He said he needed sometime alone to sort things out and that he wanted a place closer to work so he could work late as he was getting alot of pressure from his boss. I thought it was a good idea. Well yesterday morning I called him before he went to work and he sounded really strange, so I decided that I would surprise him at lunch and buy him a CD and bring him a bottle of champagne and we could have a nice time together. I sat in his employers parking lot for over an hour before the security guard came and said he had not even been to work. I called/texted him several times, no response. Finally at 4:45PM he called me back saying that he was at work and wouldn't be able to go to a meeting that evening with me..He knew that I had been to his work so he couldn't lie about not being there...He said he was busy running errands..BUT I know he was with his "girlfriend" that day. Should I tell her husband? They have three kids and she has told him that she will never leave her husband. They own alot of property together including a vacation home that she spends most of her time at and her husband is a university professor, which she is very proud of. Before my husband met her, she was my "friend" when the kids played together at our house (never hers) and at the park. She talked many times about her many male "friends" that she was completely infatuated with...When I asked what her husband thought of all of her male friends she said that he probably has a female secretary as his "friend". Last fall my husband started going to her church on Sunday morning, just to see her (her husband didn't go) as I worked on Sunday mornings. Most of their communication had been via email as she went back to her vacation home a while back. I believe she is back in town because I am completely convinced that he was with her yesterday, though I can't prove it. Should I tell her husband....since he is at the university it is VERY easy to get a hold of him? The semester is up this week and I don't know if he will leave for the summer or not. Should I confront her, as he might have told her that I kicked him out of the house because I couldnt' stand his internet porn obsession? I suspect that he is not being truthful with her and that she doesn't know that I still love him. I think he is using her.

Starling, I tend to agree with the "don't tell" crowd. It does no real good from a legal point of view and it poisons the future of your relationship from an emotional point of view (particularly for your children). The only possible good it might do is to use as leverage from a financial perspective on settlement in that some judges may take that into consideration. I would save evidence of the e-mails and such for that purpose and let an attorney tell you how best to use them (if at all).
Would it do the girlfriend's husband any good to tell? Maybe, maybe not. Either he might be looking for an excuse to get out too or he doesn't care. Most likely, if you've suspected something, so has he (although we men are usually more dense about such things lol).
The good book says, "whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap." I think it is a universal constant. The cheating eventually will catch up with him and do its own damage. Just don't damage
you
in the process.
Hang in there, indeed. :)

You should consider this before you decide...if you tell him and he pushes her the door or sets her free...where will she run to. Probably her "friend"- your husband.
I was glad to hear from the other mans wife...although, I already knew and had chosen not to contact her. But when I found out and moved out for a seperation, my wife became very available to him and days later he was caught. I didn't have to get involved until it was all out there. With your husband more available I suspect he will know soon enough. I'm sorry for you.

do not tell because all it is going to be is he say she say drama. do focus on yourself and your kids. dont let no one run you down. ask your husband where his heart truly is and if you don't like his answer then may be you should consider letting him go. trust me im in the same boat right now and i know how you feel and i woke up one day and said im not going to let this get me down and im going to give my husband an ultimatum.good luck

STARLING, YES I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL HER HUSBAND. I HAD A FEELING THAT MY WIFE WAS CHEATING BUT I COULD NOT PROVE IT UNTIL ONE DAY I GOT A CALL FROM THE GIRLFREIND SAYING THAT MY WIFE HAD BEEN SPENDING WEEKENDS WITH HER BOYFREIND. I WAS AT EASE AND IT MADE MY DECISION ON THE DIVORCE EASIER.
