Confessing adultery out of guilt to husband (suit possible?)

[Archie100]

I had a lengthy affair with a woman (who is married) and wanted to confess my guilt to her husband for religious reasons. I have done so, developed trust in him and he is understanding. He has asked me details so he can 'nail' her. He suspected it. It will almost certainly end in divorce for her, but she was very willing to caring on the affair, and if anything, instigated it all. He has seen her emails, her letters to me, everything in the 'open.' She has lied and deceived him for two years, (and prior cases as well). He just wants to know the truth, and I have provided it to him.

Question: Can she sue me for being honest with him and confessing it out of guilt? Commentary appreciated. Thanks.

guess she kicked your butt to the curb, eh? so now, in the name of religion, you need to cleanse your soul, and help him "nail her"?????????? where does this action fit into your scheme of "getting right"??

don't be such a sore loser.

I was trying to be serious here

Embraced 2000,

I guess it's not OK to have a clear conscience. I lost my family because of my mistake. I wanted to make it right with myself and her husband, so I did. My 'sincere' question was (for any law students there), are there cases of record that have resulted in a suit against (me) for confessing to her husband what happened.

Geez, I was trying to get a serious answer.

My response:

Here's a serious answer for you.

You're a panzy. You're a coward. You're a slime bag.

You wanted to "cleanse your soul" at the expense of someone else. How manly of you. You're a real winner, pal.

Let's see, you openly, and willingly screwed her, got the sex, and now, like the rat you really are, you've turned on her. Gee, you're a wonderful person.

With religion like that, who needs you as a friend ?

You're just a panzy loser. If you wanted salvation and forgiveness, you could have gone to a priest and made a confession. You're just as much of a homewrecker as she is, but the difference is, you didn't need to do what you did.

Everyone makes mistakes, but you have compounded yours by harming someone here who did no wrong (the spouse of your ex-lover) in order to get revenge.

Actually, if you were to do the noble thing, you would carry your guilt around for the rest of your life all by yourself, instead of "unloading" it on some other party who was completely innocent in all this.

Look in the mirror and tell the truth here: You wanted revenge. But the only way you could rationalize your mean, spiteful act that hurt an innocent third party is to call it an act of "religion."

You know what? The guys who killed 6,000 people in the World Trade Center called their acts "religious," too.

But that doesn't make it so.
