Question: 

I discovered that my wife of 25 years had just started an affair in mid-July. That affair ended but my wife moved out at the end of the month, and immediately began another affair. She is essentially living with this AP, but has been trying to keep it a secret from everyone. I travel regularly and my wife stays at my house with my 16-year old daughter when I am out of town. Their relationship is strained but ok. My daughter now suspects that her Mom is having an affair, and has shared this concern with my 19-year old son who attends a nearby college. I am close with both of my kids. I want to make the decision that is in their best long-term interest. Should I confirm their suspicions, or remain silent?
