    Telling the wife won't solve the problem, it will simply bring it to a head. If the 'romancing' is not serious it might be better that she doesn't know; if it is there's little she can do about it.
    Take the money and hope the punishment is enough to make him sort himself out.

    Not her business. Plus she has no idea what is really going on in their relationship.
    Similar situation with friends and I did not intervene. They got over the 'blip' and are now a happy, secure family.
    But no do not take the money. Makes her as bad as him!

    £100 for nothing?

    Take it.

    If she spills the beans the boss just fires her hubby, then they'll struggle even more and serve her right.

    It really none of her business anyway.


    She should sleep with the boss too and threaten to tell his wife and get £200 per month out of him.

    Wouldn't take it, but then I do find it hard to turn down a good cash offer when I get one. Maybe I'd take it and then make a discrete tip off to his wife. I'd probably leave it a few months though to get a nice little holiday fund out of it ;)
  • don't take the money and dont tell. He will get found out eventually - cheaters always do

    The wife probably knows and is working out the best way of dealing with it. It might have been going on for years and be something she tolerates. It would only cause her pain to tell her about it.

    I agree, I don't think she can take the money.

    Taking the situation at face value and that the wife is not a best pal of mine, I would take the money and not tell. Not my problem.

    She should tell her husband immediately, but don't take the money.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.
