[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, as I said in a prior post, you wouldn't be telling your kids all about your married sex life, so there's no reason to tell them about your extramarital or post marital sex life either. They are children. Also, cheating doesn't always lead to divorce. If you've got an unrepentant serial cheater, a sex addict, etc., then I'm sure those character traits are obvious to everyone without needing to know the details. It's hard to imagine your ex-H is some super well adjusted, self-actualized person if he's engaging in these behaviors, and you can focus on those issues as they impact your children ("Daddy has trouble with some grown up things like saving money or showing up when he's supposed to"). Again, this is all done in an age appropriate way in order to help the children process.

I was blindsided and heartbroken by my husband's affair but I am still an adult. I don't get a pass for bad behavior just because he has done bad things. I need to lean on my support network to get me through while maintaining appropriate boundaries with and for my kids. [/quote]
