My dad has recently been caught having an affair with his young personal assistant. Huge scandal; mom was very angry. Now they’re in the middle of divorce proceedings. Mom moved out, the other woman moved in and I chose to stay with him because we’re super close; he’s like my best friend. Now mom’s telling me to go and live with her and go no contact with him cause he’s a bad person and by continuing having a relationship with him I’m condoning his actions and “ignoring her suffering”. My relationship with my dad hasn’t changed, I don’t see why I should end it.

    Not from Kansas. Well traveled and have seen a bunch of relationships. I’ve seen people get divorced and I’ve seen infidelity.

    I have immeasurably more respect for those that get divorced no matter how hard it is. Breaking the vow through being a cheater is about as low as you can go.

    Sorry you don’t hold marriage to sanctity it should be

        Says the man posting from lemmynsfw. Things in your second marriage must be going super well

        If you held marriage to any standard, a man breaking his vows to sleep WITH HIS ASSISTANT should be pretty deplorable. And recommended an atleast young adult to just brush past that like it’s just another mistake is insane.

        Yeah, just look the other way that he figuratively slapped your mom across the face. Atleast he’s cool though

          Ah yes, you’re one of those who think porn is a sin. Explains a lot about your attitude in the comments here.

            Never said porn was a sin

            But that person had a choice to make an account on any instance they wanted to, and chose to make it on the most inappropriate one they could find.

            Just saying

                    Because it’s lack of respect to your partner.

                    Literally hundreds of regular instances. Instances that still have NSFW on them.

                    But they decided they needed to be surrounded by porn to be happy.

                    It’s the message you give to the person your supposed to be faithful to. A message that, to be happy, I need to have porn around me at any given time.

                    Which, kinda shows why he’s working on marriage number 2 in my book.
