Today, the love of my life (whom Ive been with for over three years) went on a romantic weekend getaway with another man. Hurt, confused & emotional beyond all control I punched holes into the walls of my apartment & cried for hours. Turns out they've been married for 13 years and have 2 kids FML

It's gonna hurt ALOT but you need to end your relationship with them. If they try to convince you or you get the idea in your head that they will leave their family to be with you, look at it this way: in the three years you've been with them, they haven't already done that. They aren't going to. They had their chance.

Also, don't sink to the level of revenge by calling up the family and telling the spouse. It would just be shattering the innocent lives of the spouse and the children.

Err... In this case, politely informing stage spouse about the situation would be the correct thing to do. Yes, it might cause issues for the family, but not telling them means the risk of this happening AGAIN. And that the spouse could have STDs, or the kids, or the kids could have genetic disorders... The spouse deserves to know, and to have the chance to walk away from an unhealthy relationship, if they don't already know.

Personally, I think you should politely inform the spouse, if they don't already know, over the phone if possible. They're currently living in a relationship that's just as harmful as it was to you, and there's no telling if they've caught STDs from their spouse, or how many times the adulterer has done this. I don't support doing it solely for revenge, but even if you do inform them for revenge sake, it'll be less harmful to the spouse and kids in the long term than keeping quiet.
