Is it a dumb idea to expose her affair to her friends and family? I'm reading something that says it's the best way to end the affair. But that doesn't guarantee she'll come back to me anyways.
Terrible idea. Think about this. It will be hard enough for her to work on things with you to return to the MR. Imagine if friends and family know about it? Then she has bridges to build with all of them to also return the MR. I am not sure who suggested this, but I am almost positive that in the vast majority of the cases where an A is exposed to friends and family, that the couple involved ends up divorced.
I don't think you want that. There will be a time and place to expose her A to others, but while your goal is R it is not the time.
