[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can tell the kids matter-of-factly what happened. Don’t get emotional with the kids about it, but don’t hide the facts. Taking the high road doesn’t mean deceiving them about the facts. “Mom decided she wanted to have a relationship with another man instead of me. That made me feel violated. We both decided it was better to get divorced because we don’t love each other as husband and wife anymore, even though we love you and want to do a good job parenting you.” That’s it. Don’t go into more detail than that. But don’t lie by hiding the truth.[/quote] I disagree with this. Your kids don’t need to know she had an affair. You’re putting them in the middle. That opens the door for the wife to say “I had an affair because your father neglected me emotionally” or other BS. Your kids will figure it out but you don’t need to be the one to tell them. Just continue to be a good dad. That’s all they care about. [/quote]
