I'd weight the sum of the equation. Chicks get scorned, some chicks are crazy.(see hot crazy matrix) If he's banging fairly normal chicks you might consider that less risky for turning the office into a shite show.
I have a friend that faced a similar scenario years back, she is the owner of the company, the guy(married too,) was dipping his pen into the company inkwell, and he was a pretty vital part of her business, helped to make her a lot of money, she told him to cut that shite out, keep it away from work, and that seemed to do the job, a few years later he began to embezzle money from her, she told him it was a good time to retire, he really just fricked himself over

Can you tell him to home office?
Can he do the job that way?
It would solve the problem

i would probably get rid of him solely because he has demonstrated a lack of integrity. his personal life isnt your business, but you have to have people working for you that you can trust. is he trustworthy? doesnt sound like it.

If you didn't own the place, mind your own business.
But since you do, you're going to have a shite storm on your hands when he breaks it off. Give him a warning to stop it because it could harm the business. If he keeps on doing it, let him go.
Don't tell his wife. You aren't responsible for that.

This is none of your business and the correct thing to do is ignore it. You have only a business relationship with these people. You have no right or responsibility to interfere in their private lives.

A good friend of mine old lady was cheating on him and told my wife about the affair, and my wife told me. This dude, is one of the best dudes I know, shirt off his back types. Has two kids. I wanted to tell him badly, but didn't know if he would snap and kill the whole family, or anything. So I sat on it. I regret doing that, but I did. He found out later, that she cheated numerous times and he got divorced. After he told me that, I came clean about what I knew, and we really haven't spoken in years. I really wish I told him.

That's not even a question.
That's going to blow up, quickly.
I'm not concerned with his personal life, unless it has the potential to significantly damage the business.
RIF him, divide his accounts among the other reps, snd move on.

Subtlety is not a strong suit of yours.

Euthanasia.
As medical power of attorney for my dying mother, she and I had a ton of talks about it while she was dying.
I was born and raised Roman Catholic so it was a big deal.
She died naturally and peacefully, in her sleep, in her own bed, at home. No euthanasia necessary.

You're right.
What OP posted wouldn't make a Top Twenty for "significant moral or ethical dilemma " for most people, IMO.

I wrote a brief in defense of a death row inmate when I was young attorney. I think it was clear he did it but still had to defend with my best effort.

Regarding your very specific example, top sales guys can be replaced, unless it's a relative/close friend of your biggest client. The workplace issues than can and will unfold are not worth it
Regarding your actual question, about 15 years ago, the husband of my mom's first cousin ( don't know if that is 1st cousin one remove or 2nd cousin for me) was in a major truck accident and was hospitalized for it. Well come to find out his accident happened somewhere contrary to where he said he was traveling from. After the accident his memory was foggy so he couldn't remember why he was traveling that way. The family all thought it was suspicious but didnt question further. I on the other hand learned he was coming from the house of one of my classmates/teammates, who's single mom was known to be "available". To this day, I have not told anyone, didn't think it was my place to say anything, as I'm not really close to them. They were recently married and either expecting a kid or just had a kid and I wasn't going to be the one to ruin kids life. They are still married today and seem to be happy, but if they ever get divorced I have a fun story to tell.

You're his boss not his life coach.
As long as there is no HR concern it shouldn't be any of yours.

You own a business but did not address fraternization in your code of conduct. It sounds as though you need to update the employee handbook. It's best not to address it now because he is not breaking any rules. Once you establish the policy you can tell the participants to knock it off

This happened at an ex-GF's workplace. Sales guy was fired for whom he was banging at the office, marriage was not a factor.
The non compete was pretty weak, and he took 30% of the original company's customers within 60 days.

Top scientist of our Americas based org (inventor of a product many of you use) was sexually harassing one of my employees.
Super smart but ego turned him into dumbazz.
The harassment was in the grey area moreso than black & white, and that made this one particularly difficult.
Supported my employee first and foremost.
Let’s just say, this is not Mad Men episode. Scientist ‘retired early’.
