[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. My dad had an affair that led to the dissolution of my parents marriage. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned there was so much that happened behind closed doors. I am now closer with my dad than I am with my mom. [/quote]

Exactly my point of view. The cheating is just the tip of the iceberg. There's the entire rest of the berg underwater that you can't see and that might tell a completely different story.

I don't judge.

And in some cases, like some of the PPs, the rest of the ice bergs include the cheating parent using the children to cheat such as during play dates or abandoning them home to sneak out. Everyone's experience is different so let others feel what they are feeling.

On my case, my dad had an affair with a relative of my mom. And he used to dance with her in our presence. I even made a comment to him on the dancing  once as an elementary aged child telling him my mom wouldn't like that. He laughed it off. It was too " out in the open" for me to believe my instincts that he was sleeping with her, so i lied to myself that it was just silly behavior since my dad was very plauful. When the affair came out, I lost respect for my father. He died when I was about 40, and that respect never came back. I loved him and was not angry, but I never ever counted on him after that news broke out. He was sad about the limitation in our relationship and brought it up several times. I did not bother with a conversation. [/quote]
