[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when we were adults, so perhaps that makes a difference, but it was pretty easy to figure out. That being said, my mother told us what my father did while my father and my now stepmother make it sound like they just knew one another as friends for a long time and got together once both were separated. [b]Funny thing is they didn't cover their tracks very well (that's how I confirmed who was telling the truth, although neither parent knows I know and how),[/b] although my stepsiblings still vehemently deny the "rumors" of the affair. I have yet to have the heart to break it to them![/quote]

How did you find out?[/quote]

They didn't cover their tracks very well. They both talk fondly about a grand vacation they took together. DH and I had been to the same place and my dad mentioned going there before we did, which would have been while he was still married to my mom. I thought he may have been there more than once, perhaps for work or while on a trip with his buddies. The conversation about how many times he had been there didn't happen until my father and stepmother had been married for a couple of years. I'll admit it was a loaded question on my part, sparked by seeing a souvenier in their house, and I was hoping they weren't smart enough to put two and two together, mostly because I wanted to know if the cheating rumors were true. Clearly neither thought to cover their tracks, as they both noted they had only been there the one time, which means they were there while my dad was still married to my mom. DH is aware of the truth (we both thought this was the case, so it came as no surprise; I don't think my stepmother was the first, either), but I have never told my mother, my sibling or my stepsiblings. It's all I can do not to choke every time my stepsiblings bring up the cheating allegations and defend their mom![/quote]
