Re: wife had extramarital affair… what to tell family
The coworkers will know ofcourse. Frankly, everyone will know. Even of he doesnt say the words.
Reminds me of a similar situation that happened few years ago with a couple in our place. Both were residents, with 2 kids. Towards end of residency, husband had a chance for training in a very good liver transplant centre in Germany for a year, so he went there, but he was not getting any salary there. After few months, they started to have fights. She claimed it was because he is not paying her expenses. When people mentioned he is not getting paid, she told, he had money in his account. His point was, yes, he has money in his account, but he doesn’t feel comfortable spending it out, while she is getting paid well enough to pass the year and once he is back on job, he will start paying. Anyway, they divorced, wife shortly married an old rich businessman who lived nearby, who had grown up kids, a wife back home and a second wife whom he had just divorced.
None of us beleived her, we all knew she was having affair with businessman once her husband was away and the expenses were just an excuse. Husband never said anything about affair, but people’s opinion about her is still the same, that she cheated. Now he has custody of the kids, while she has no kids from next marriage.
It never remains a “secret”.
