Thought I would let you know that it is a very common scam in Indonesia for an indignant wife or husband to "show up" claiming to be at the losing end of a love triangle. Sometimes this comes with the threat of "exposing" you to your own spouse and sometimes it comes as a request for you to "repay" the damages to the relationship you have harmed (usually with money). This scam is almost always aimed at couples that include one expatriate. This happened to a expat friend f mine in Bali when they tried the scamon his Balinese wife. The whole claim of an affair evaporated after my friend and his wife turned it over to the police! Their reccomendtaion is to tell the person that you are forwarding their SMS to the authorities even though you don't.
