Usually the thought comes , if he doesnt accept his follies now and face the brunt for his actions, would he be able to resist having another affair a few months down the road? coz human nature dictates , once you get away with something so serious , you can be tempted again thinking you will get away yet again !

However on the other hand, when I read advises from scholars they say exactly what Mo3 has said, that if a person genuinely repents and promises himself not to break the code of trust again, then no need to tell his wife as that will only cause immense problems in their marriage. He should seek forgiveness from God for his deeds.
