Frank B Kermit agony auntIf there is the slightest chance he wil find out from anyone else other than you, then yes, tell him.

If there is no chance he will ever find out, keep your mouth shut, and if he ever makes a similar error, remember your own skeletons in the closet.

You will carry a guilt with you about this...it is your burden, do not make it his burden as well.

No don't. Hopefully you've learned a lesson that won't be repeated. If you are unhappy in your relationship, cheating isn't the answer. It's usually the symptom of a much bigger problem. If you truly regret the act, have indeed ended it, and do not plan to do it again I would keep mum. You're husband doesn't sound like someone who could handle that information in a mature, rational way and it will only cause your marriage to disintegrate before your eyes. If you truly love your husband and want to remain married to him, put it behind you and don't ever let yourself do that again. I hope it works out for you.

DV1 agony auntYes, you should. When you marry someone, it's for better or worse. You make a promise when you get married that if you can't handle the worst parts, that you should do your partner a favor and walk away. Couples are supposed to argue. It's part of relationships. You betrayed his trust, and you need to own up to your mistakes. You may end up losing him, but it will be for the better.
