Classic: You're waiting to 'snap'?

A few weeks ago, I discovered my wife cheated on me. (I won’t say how I found out, but you’d tell me I shouldn’t have done it. I had a suspicion, and I confirmed it.) The weird thing is, now that I know, I’m not sure how to bring it up, or if I should. I know through the same means I discovered the affair that it’s over, and she feels guilty about it. I noticed an uptick in our sex life around the time I now know her affair ended, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. I keep waiting to snap and tell her, but even when we got drunk together one night, it just wasn’t front of mind. I told my best friend, and he said he’d have totally lost it, but I’ve “always been weird about this kind of stuff.” I’d honestly rather just forget it, let my wife work through her guilt on her own, and hopefully learn her lesson. Is that possible if I say nothing?

  • I can't tell the LW what can or can't happen.  If it's eating up the LW then I think there's a need to confront.  If the LW can put this behind then do it if there's the belief that this isn't a pattern of behavior.  
  • I'd tell my spouse I knew.  I understand the need to want to discuss it, it's a big deal, but  if LW already discussed it with their best friend...I'd say something.  What exactly what did LW do to find out?  Pull a Samantha following Richard in a cab?  I'm curious lol
  • I couldn’t keep this to myself, but that’s just me.  My spouse would have to know I know.  I’m curious too @ei34, probably good old fashioned snooping on the phone is my guess

  • no way i could keep this to myself especially if we were still having sex. I'm guessing LW looked at his wife's phone. 
  • There's no way I'd be able to keep that to myself. Especially when drunk. 
  • If you really don’t care to say anything, it’s your relationship and you know how you feel. 

    However, waiting to “snap” is u healthy and that tells me LW is not as okay with it as they seem. So then yes you have to bring it up. 
  • An affair is usually a symptom of something broken in the marriage. I'm going to guess that honest and trust are part of what's missing in this one. 
  • This feels like a fetish thing to me. And you don’t need permission from prudie for that.
