[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the kid in  this scenario. Just tell dc the truth. And don’t rely on your spouse to do that. One of my worse memories was my dad like trying to explain that their sex life was bad.  No child adult or otherwise wants to hear jack shit about their parents’ sex lives. [/quote] I don't know if you read that DH took it upon himself to inform dc right away. We didn't have a discussion about it. He just did it. DC said dh told him that he had not been happy for a very long time. I asked if dh told him anything else, which he did not other than "we love you and we're here for you"  so I told dc that dh has a girlfriend and left it at that. I'm so sorry your dad brought up sex with you. That's so so bad. I'm not going to be that parent. Ugh. [/quote]
PP. I saw that after I posted. You are doing a great job. Your DC deserves to know the truth as they are an adult and it’s not your responsibility and would likely harm you and dc’s relationship to run with some fake version of what happened that your DH is presenting. It sounds like you are doing a good job of striking the right balance of being honest without coming across as angry and bitter. Everything ultimately worked out in my situation so I’m sure you and your dc will get through this. Wishing you strength![/quote]
