The more I think about it, I know it's the right thing to do to contact his wife. I know I would want to know. At least my wife had the courage to come clean.

Yep -- it is. No doubt. You've just been handed a big ol' stinking sh*t sandwich, Broken. You're about to face a whole SERIES of "very difficult" decisions. You can either run from them, or try to run around them, or you can steel yourself and run straight into the storm.
