[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you are divorcing because of the affair, there is no reason to tell the children the reasons for the divorce![/quote]
That was my plan. Each of my children independently asked me if other parent cheated. I’ve said no because STBX claimed it was only an emotional affair, but there’s certainly circumstantial evidence that suggests it was more than that. Because I was asked repeatedly by each child, I simply said other parent wanted to be free to start dating again. I’ve assured the kids that other parent’s new partner had nothing to do with the demise of our marriage. I just leave out the part about a different person factoring heavily into it.[/quote]

Why protect the cheater??

Don't you think your kids have a right to know if they "role model" in fact lacks all integrity?[/quote]
They have an excellent understanding of other parent’s integrity, which is why they repeatedly asked me if other parent cheated, but never asked me if I did. I still live with them and take care of them on a daily basis. Other parent has largely checked out. I don’t need more fodder for them to lose respect for their other parent. [/quote]
