You tell him, yes, he has to deal with it.
But not necessary it will lessen your burden. Now you KNOW that HE KNOWS. This is another burden in addition to the original burden.
To me, if you are not going to separate with HB, there is no point of telling him. It hurts him but I don't think it will benefit you at all. There are ways of dealing with the burden.. shifting it to someone may not be the best way. Our own burden left best to deal with it ourselves.
