Re: What would you do in this situation?

Your first instinct was correct - mind your own business. Far too many people interfere because they tell themselves they TOTALLY KNOW what the potentially injured party would want, or they TOTALLY BELIEVE someone "deserves to know" some awful thing.

Mind your own business.

1) You do NOT know with 100% certainty it's this guy.
2) Coincidences happen. See #3 and #4.
3) Society is such that a lot of people are in unhappy marriages for many, many reasons and those reasons are going to be similar because human nature. See #4.
4) Society is such that a lot of gay men are in heterosexual marriages because that's what they thought they wanted, or what society expected of them and surprise, they're not happy about it and the reasons why are going to sound similar because human nature. See #3.
5) If you are wrong - and you COULD be wrong - then by inserting yourself into someone else's marital situation, you could be causing unintended harm to that relationship.
6) Even if you think there's a high chance you're right and it is the guy you know, look at that remaining percentage. You're gambling with someone else's personal life and painful details they were stupid enough to post on reddit because they were desperate for help. You have nothing to lose if you're wrong - someone else will be paying that ugly forfeit if you're wrong. Are you okay with that?
