First post here and an interesting question. First the background.

Wife and I had some serious prooblems and ended up seperated for 3 months. We are now back together and commmited 100% to our marraige and family.

While we were seperated I found out via monitoring software that she was involved with a married guy who had contacted her for sex through Myspace. They never ended up meeting face to face (thank God) but there was explicit sexual content and phone/text/chat sex and explicit pictures sent back and forth. When we decided to work on our marraige the first thing we did was get her over her additction to this scumbag. She gave the typical foggy excuses for breaking no contact and why she had got involved with the married guy. She is finally over him and there is no contact. I would say she probably is 90% over him.

I never exposed the scum to his wife because my wife told me that I shouldn't (I know, I know. I was a wimp). I should have regardless of the consequences. One time I threatened to and my wife told him and he said he would kill me. Not worried about that though. I have blocked his email addresses and phone numbers to avoid any chance of this scumbag contacting my wife easily.

Now that we are a couple months past her EA should I still expose the scum bag? One worry I have is that if this scumbag contacted my wife again it would create a hard time for her to stay away from him. She is recovering but not 100% better yet.

Thank you in advance.

Total honesty, all around.

Don't you think his W deserves to know, just like you did? How many more marriages will he ruin if you don't expose?

And file a police report of the death threat.
