Hey Max, glad you're feeling better.
Yes, time and space - give the gift of time and space.

Telling the other guy - hmm. I think it has to be up to your husband. But I'm with you, I don't see the wisdom in it.

The thing is, what is it intended to accomplish? Make H feel better? The problem is it could dump hurt on someone else. That seems unnecessary. This might be a good topic for a counseling session, if he was willing to go.

Easiest thing for me to do, would be to pack up everything and lose myself and never have to deal with him. That is how I would love to handle this whole situation. No contact at all like SPM wife sounds like heaven to me. Then i don't have to see his pain or constantly be reminder of my part in the destruction of this family.

I think this is exactly why my wife did what she did. Insisted on no contact, etc etc.

I contributed by being hurt, which pushed her away. But she just fled the marriage. Just ran out on everything, every commitment she ever made. Running from problems - It's just a recipe for pain later on.
