[quote=Anonymous]Some background info:
I am married with two kids. my siblings except one are no longer living with my parents. Completely by chance, I figured my father who is in his mid 60s is cheating on my mom. I dont know the extent of the realtionship. I dont even know if it is sexual (I can guess that it is, but dont know for a fact). Figuring this out came as a complete surprise to me since he has never been a type that flirts with women. In fact, my parent had a very good relationship togthere up until recent couple of years when both of them suffered sever health issues.  As a married woman, I can tell wehn a marriage is good and when it is not and I can tell that my parents have been in love with each other for the past 35 years. My only guess is that the health issue has left my mom reluctant to any kind of intimacy, and my father on the other hand needs to prove himself that he is not old (if that makes any sense).
I have convinced myself time and again to just ignore the situation. At least for the sake of my younger sibling who is still at home, I dont want to shake the boat. BUt I also cant help feeing for my mom. It hurts me when I call and she innocently says your father just steped out to visit a friend, when I know where he probably has gone to.

I have two options in my mind: Ignore everything or to encounter my father.
I cant change his mind, but I can tell him that he cant fool everyone around him and that if mom finds out and if I have to choose I will choose her.

Need to hear your advice--please keep in mind that growunig up I have been very close to both my parents and that my relationship to my father is not one of dysfunctional ones.

Thank you[/quote]
