[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really struggled with whether or not to tell the kids. Even the experts don't seem to agree on this.

[quote]Kids need is one sane parent — you’re it.

As for how much of the cheating to tell them about? At their ages, they may already know or have suspected. My son was 9 when it happened to me, so he got the rated-G version. I told him: when you get married, you promise not to have any boyfriends or girlfriends that aren’t your spouse. You’re each other’s special person, that’s what being faithful is. (***) cheated, and lied, and I’m going to be really sad and upset for awhile, but you’ll be okay. I’ll be okay. We’ll figure this out.

People disagree with whether or not to tell children about infidelity. My opinion is that it’s not okay to gaslight children, even with the best of intentions. I believe you should tell them in age-appropriate ways, without editorializing [/quote][/quote]

Kids have no reason to be told any details of their parents sex lives no matter what. It is damaging. [/quote]

Nobody is talking about sex with their kids, they are talking about honesty, integrity, sneaking behind somebody's back, breaking a contract, lying to somebody's face, lies of omission, etc.

It isn't about sex, never was, never will be. [/quote]
