He doesn't know. He has NO CLUE!
I've been debating if I should tell him or not after I quit (of course).... I'm leaning towards not telling him and just keeping it a secret since I know and obviously from your experiences... it causes problems.

It could blow up in your face if you don't tell him, BUT (and that's BIG "but"), consider this: How could it help your relationship to tell him? Honesty?
sure, there's something to be said for that, but seldom, in normal relationships, does it help for one of the people to confess to the other, about a "fling", or indiscretion or dark past that is no longer pertinent.
It's kinda like telling someones S.O. about them cheating... it doesn't help the relationship, causes lost friendships, and causes a lot of hurt that wasn't really necessary.
I would suggest NOT saying anything...ever. Unless of course you want to "TEST" his devotion, or for some reason, cause him deep pain. It seldom does anyone any good to discuss intimate personal details from the past. It may relieve a guilty conscience, but it really loads up the other persons ability to think clearly..
That's it for free advice, and it's worth every $ you paid..LOL
