Hey robbie,

I'm going to give you the opposite advice of the majority here. I would NOT tell your wife. If what happened years ago was a stupid mistake and it will never happen again, then keep it to yourself. Putting myself in the wife's position, since I am one, I would not want to know something that was stupid and meant nothing. For me, in this situation, ignorance is bliss. If I was told by my husband about an isolated incident like yours, that really was just bad judgement, there's a chance that just knowing could cause unnecessary distrust; especially if you know that it will never happen again. Knowing may hurt your wife more than not knowing. Just my 2cents. Good luck!

M.
