[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry if this has been covered - but I can't read all 18 pages.

What I guess I don't understand are those that don't get how this could affect kids - bringing up sexual energy/effort vs. time with kids etc as if that's the argument.

Thing is - although my dad's affair didn't affect me personally - the fact that he could do something so shady to my mother is what changed the dynamic. To know that your parent's character is so terrible that they could do something like that to the other parent whom the child presumably loves just as much is very hurtful. And it does create questions - even as a adult - about how sincere your cheating parent was with you. Whether that is logical or not is beside the point - it's simply where your mind goes to when faced with the situation.

And again - just personally, knowing that my dad could do something so hurtful to someone that I love is hurtful to me. He should have asked for a divorce. Our relationship would have been much better (he's since passed) - and I don't think of him as fondly as I think I would have had the discretions not occurred.[/quote]
