It wasn't Abigail that accused them of witchcraft. It was Tituba.
She accused Goody Goody and Goody Osburn of witchcraft because she's getting pressured of what they were asking her so she told them what they wanted to hear and Mrs. Putnam said that she was sure that someone was killing her babies so Tituba mentioned Goody Good and Goody Osburn because they became a midwife to Mrs. Putnam three times already.
How can you get your husband to admit his adultery?
Hopefully you have some proof he is actually cheating and you aren't jealous or imagining things. If you have proof, then don't waste your time getting him to admit he is cheating, because most men/women are in denial through their affairs in the first place. The truth of the matter is ... one lie leads to another until you don't know the truth anymore.
If you know for sure he is cheating, then sit him down, tell him you aren't putting up with it and if he is still in denial it's time to move on. No matter how many years you have been together it's not worth wasting the rest of your life on.
