It's not that simple. He could stop the affair, never cheat again, and they could live a wonderful life. It's not the friends place to say anything to the wife.
The truth is right here

The reason the man told his friend about the affair is that he is asking for help. He knows what he is doing is wrong and he wants a way out. That's why he's asking his friend for support. He just doesn't know how to come out and say it. To the OP, my advice... help your friend straighten up and fly right. No one else needs to know shite about it. A bad situation made worse helps no one.
My goodness. Another adult in the thread (along with La.Lady).

Like I said. Right or wrong, I did what I thought at the time was best.

No judgment here, my friend. Good luck.

I get it.....a person making or trying to decide on something like this on the spur of the moment will usually have buyer's remorse later.

Agree 100%.
Part of the reality he needs to hear is also the chance that if the husband of the woman he's cheating with finds out, then there's no telling where that could lead.
This guy and the woman he's messing with are in the process of ruining TWO families.
If the OP is really a 'good friend,' then he needs to man up and tell his buddy to stop right now if he has any interest at all in saving his marriage.
The cheater needs to hear that if he would put half the time into making his marriage better that he puts into screwing around, then his problems at home would likely vanish.

Me either. I was just thinking out loud. No way to really tell anyway. I guess part of it would be how much of a happy face did you put on while staying with him.
I ain't gonna lie. It wasn't pretty but I would have had to go through those emotions with my son there regardless.

First, let's actually think about what our trite phrases mean for a second. WTF does heck deserved to know" even mean?
Second, if "deserving to know something is actually a thing, she sure as frick wouldn't get what she "deserves" from me if it means betraying a confidant.

you really think that the proper response is to go tell his wife?
I didn't say that. I said his wife deserves to know. Big difference.

So better to let open wounds fester? That's bad for everyone. My buddy's mom pulled that one. She stayed with his dad until my buddy was 18. As soon as he went to college, mom divorced dad. Their home life was miserable until that point. And my buddy was no less confused at age 18 than he would have been at age 10.
Well for the record (and this goes for throw in the towel guy as well) studies have shown that growing up in a somewhat unhappy home with both your biological parents is better than growing up in a broken home. Just want to out that out there.
Barring serious emotional or physical abuse, stilted dinner conversations aren't as harmful to children as the whole dual custody nonsense.

I would advise him to stop if I were you.
The risk is not worth the reward.
Also, frick this guy because they hit a "rough patch". Every married couple hits rough patches. You suck it the frick up and work through it. I hate this shite about our society now. Everytime something is not 100% perfect, people start running towards the exits.

been like this for a long time

That's all you can do. Every situation is different, and you can only do what you honestly think is best. If your a parent, you have to do what you think is best for your kids.

Not to pry but are you and the ex on good terms?

100% right, many posters don't seem to realize the bolded part.

I agree. The friend wants someone to tell him what he's doing is wrong, and he's gone to the OP to help him.

And I'm going to say this. My son worships his dad.
To this day he still knows nothing of this. I could have easily left and found happiness with someone else but I think it would have done more harm than good to have someone else raise my son.
