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.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Prayer for my marriage

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.

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.
