Maybe your wife knowing will turn out to be a good thing. Maybe she deserves to know. Maybe she will support you.
One thing is certain though, you have just proved you are powerless to control this on your own.
Stop making escuses and get to a meeting. Get to several meetings. Get help and get support. These forums are good for what they are, but they are not a replacement for meetings. Time and time and time again it is the only way to get some control over this compulsion.
Keep trying on your own. Don't tell your wife and I think you will keep on coming back with the same old story. It was stronger than you. Of course it is. It is stronger than all of us with that compulsion. That is why we go to meetings.
I do wish you well, but I worry about you too.
