WS - spoke to father last night about marital issues. Apparently she told part of the story, omitted the A. She is planning to tell him the whole story at some stage in the next few weeks. My question to those that have been there before me is.
1. Should I eventually sit down and talk with this man at some stage down the track and tell him the truth or should I keep my mouth closed as it's not my family? (I respect her dad greatly he suffered a similar incident in his 1st marriage).
2. And how long after WW has told him her full version would be a good time to tell?

He will probably not ever get the "full version" from his D, because she is not likely to bust herself. If she has talked to him and omitted this little factoid, then she has LIED to him. And will probably continue to lie to him.
It is best to just pick up the phone and tell him the truth NOW. There is no reason to wait for the spirit to move her to bust herself. The longer you help her hide her affair, the longer the affair can survive. The sooner you do this, the better for your marriage.

MelodyLane - that is quite an accurate reflection of the situation. My reason for not telling right now is that she did not tell my folks, and I felt that I owed her the same courtesy. She is making a special trip ( early next week )when her dad is alone and she felt she could tell without "others around".
From what you say I should tell her dad what has happened sooner rather than later.
