[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 teens amd I am a serial cheater. I demand discretion and have never been caught. I won’t get caught as I am ultra careful and leave no evidence whatsoever. How do I not think about my kids? Simple. That is not part of their lives.[/quote]

My dad was like you. Found out later in life.  Only so long you can hide it.  It destroyed my relationship with both my parents, especially my dad. I no longer trust him and think any of the good in my childhood was a shame. [/quote]
There is something very wrong that you would be so heavily invested in your father's sex life and I suspect you struggle with relationships in general.[/quote]

Are you blaming her as opposed to the dad who did this?  Who are you to tell her how certain events affected her?

These events have nothing to do with her. The fact that she (claims to be) affected is so weird![/quote]

Rational or not, the children of cheating parent(s) often suffer severe negative emotions once they are confronted with their parent(s)' infidelity. Even as adult children. It makes them feel like their times of innocence were filled with lies. It puts strains on the relationship between the child and the parent.

I don't think it's the time component, but rather the dishonesty by the parent with the rest of the family - "If dad was lying about this, what else did he lie about?" etc.

It's absurd to expect parents to spend all their free time with their children. That's not healthy. But the dishonesty is likely way more damaging that spending one hour per week with an AP. A parent can still be super involved in their kid's life and still cheat.
