I've been married for 11 years and we have two children. About 3 years ago, I was going through a tough time and u kissed a man who I've know for 20 years, it was only a kiss and I regretted it. I confessed to a fellow Christian and we prayed about it and i said sorry to God, but never told my husband. Now another Christian knows and I feel that she is threatening me to tell my husband if I don't and she also has told leadership. I don't feel that my husband needs to know as it was a long time ago but feel I don't have any choice.

Is it possible to reconcile this problem with the leadership and this other woman? It is odd and uncomfortable that people know, and he doesn't know. So that is an issue. Gossip can be very damaging.

Ecclesiastes 7:16 warns against being "overly righteous", which might apply here. Whatever the case may be, if you are repentant, you will be okay. You even may have your name dragged through the mud, but if you are able to draw from the love of God, you will not be worried about the loss of reputation.

If they people on the other end of this have a heart or any compassion, pray that they will consider the loss of public reputation to your husband as a serious matter, and ask that they do not hold his reputation in low regard on account of you. A man's reputation is an important thing, and hard to restore.

Blessings.

May the Lord guide you through this time and give you the direction towards His glory and grace

I think your husband would rather hear it from you than someone else. I'm praying that you do the right thing and that your marriage is the better for it.

Praying for you.
