Starsky I think i agree with keeping the hurt spouses parents and family out of it. The cheating spouse is not blood related and reconcilliation would be very awkward.

I told my mother in law the very first day (exposed). I hadnt read anything about exposure but my gut told me she might be able to do something to help.

Wife did most of the exposing herself, although of course she has been selective to which ears she tells.

I've kept my family in the dark. If I have to tell them my marriage is over (they live across country) ill just tell them its amicable, mutual etc.. otherwise its going to be very uncomfortable in the future, especially for my daughter.
