If someone wants to be brave enough to prove that confrontation really is the solution, then I and possibly others would be open to that. Of course, it would take a significant data set of confrontation vs. non confrontation to show any statistical leanings.
So again, in the end... it's a choice. But be responsible in that choice. If it doesn't work, there are no take backs. When only three people are involved (H, W, and OP), there is quite likely the least amount of "damage". In some cases, affairs can be lethal. And that's not stated as a joke.
