Should I tell my boyfriend's wife about our affair?

I'm leaving him and he's a scumbag. I think she should know who she's really married to.

    serious backfire potential

    Let's set aside the fact that the LW is complicit in this guy's scumbaggery. There's a good reason not to tell her in person: you'll make her stick to him just to spite you. If you're truly concerned about her welfare and you want your warning to be effective, it has to be an anonymous tip--and the evidence has to be incontrovertible.

    As for the LW: go, and sin no more.
