What Would You Do? Public Finds Out You Are Having an Affair

What would you do? What would you do if you were cheating on your spouse and it got exposed to the public and was all over the internet? Living in Idaho, it often seems like everyone knows everyone, and the embarrassment that would follow would be rough. It would be tough to go to work, to church, or even to run errands. Would you quit your job? Would you try to deny it and lie? Would you own it and admit what you did was wrong? Would you make a statement online, or would you remain quiet and keep your business to yourself, despite everyone now knowing your business? If this uncomfortable situation were to happen to you, what would you do?

With Idaho not being as populated as other states, if you are caught cheating publicly, odds are high that someone you know is going to find out, and likely the news will get back to your spouse. There are options on how to handle the situation next, but none of them will be comfortable. Some tough conversations need to be had with your spouse, your children, and perhaps coworkers, neighbors, and other family members. Do you come clean or try to hide it? Do you file for divorce or try to work it out? How do you handle the embarrassment? Do you go into hiding, deal with it, or take a vacation and hope it will pass? Do you continue to see the person you are seeing, or do you end it altogether?
