[quote=Anonymous]In my opinion, a good parent models healthy relationship behavior, treats the spouse, in this case, the mother of his children with respect. Prioritizes family etc. The cheating spouse doesn't do this. He/she may love their child, but not be a good parent. As for telling the kids about affairs, I agree with age-appropriate information of why it happened, and avoiding cliche's and easy answers like " we don't love each other anymore". Also, realize that at a certain age a child can figure out what has happened on their own, and it's likely well before you think they can. I knew my dad had cheated when I was 9 years old though it would be years before that was actually admitted. Don't call the other person a whore in front of your kids. Don't tell them the affair was the reason they couldn't go on a trip. Don't encourage them to be mean to the other person, or use your kid in any way to get back at them.[/quote]
