What Do I Tell My Wife About My Affair? A Guide to Disclosure and Healing

Confessing an affair is one of the most difficult conversations you will ever have, and not preparing properly could mean the end of your marriage. The natural temptation is to minimize the facts or "trickle-truth" the disclosure, but this approach consistently causes more harm and destroys trust. In this episode, we walk through the difference between a confession that destroys and a disclosure that opens the door to possible repair. Learn exactly what to disclose, what details to avoid to prevent further trauma, and how to prepare for this conversation with courage and care.
