“Not telling wife about past infidelity”

I had a one-night stand as a teenager and lied about it by excusing myself to 'use the bathroom'

What I wish I knew
"Being honest with my wife from the start would've been better"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be truthful and transparent in your relationships"
