[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think (almost sure) my dad is cheating on my mom. He is nearly 70 years old so I dont know the extent of the relationship he is having. I am really confused as my mom and dad had a very good marriage. They really got along well and never had any major problem! now, I dont know whether I shoudl tell him that I know? Telling my mom is out  of question-she has several serious health issue and I am concerned if I tell her she will have heart attack. My sister still lives with them so that is another thing that concerns me about telling wither one of them. What shoudl I do? what should you have done in this situation? Please advice. Thanks you.[/quote]

This is a tough one...

Maybe he has needs that your mom cannot meet because of her health. Maybe having a grown daughter living with them is a strain on him.  Maybe it is an emotional affair or companionship... At this age - I would not be worried about an affair as much as chance that he may abandon your mom and sister. As long as he was not going to leave your mom and sister and as long as he was discreet, I would butt out.

But how do you know what the truth is? How can you let him know what you suspect without attacking him, embarrassing him and in a loving and tactful manner?  And if you are mistaken how do you make him forgive you? That's the challenge.

I wouldn't tell mom or sister before talking to dad first.
