There have been lots of threads about coming clean to the SO's and then feeling the wrath for sharing your secret. A CD keeps this big secret as a way of protecting themselves. Some honestly thought they could give CDing up and did not try to deceive their SO. It came back to bite them on the rear.
We all know it is best to tell your SO from the beginning but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. We also know it has to be tough on the SO's because they didn't sign up for this. You can't expect to force them to like it or accept it.
So after telling them your marriage will most likely be in trouble.
Did they do the right thing by telling their SO? We always hear it's the right thing to do.
Should they have left it alone?
Quite a few SO's will not be very accepting, some won't even tolerate it.
Is there even a safe answer to this??
