What is the ruling regarding the adultery of a married man who did not inform anyone except that his wife became aware of it, and should a separation occur between them?

Separation between spouses is not obligatory due to adultery, because it is a sin pertaining to its perpetrator and does not affect the marriage contract as long as it does not persist. The husband must offer sincere repentance for this sin.
