My partner confessed to a past infidelity years ago before we met, but it involves someone we now frequently encounter in social settings. Knowing this detail makes me deeply uncomfortable around this person, but bringing it up now could reopen old wounds for my partner and potentially damage our trust. Should I voice my discomfort or try to move past it internally?
