[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amused that everyone is focused on golf guy's daughter finding out two decades or so later that he had an affair. So what? I'd be a different story if she'd walked in on him like the lady above - so images you can't get out of your head. But a distant memory of a affair? It's fine. Look at our current POTUS and our third-to-last one. Both kids lived through it as it happened, [i]that's[/i] when you have to worry.[/quote]

As a daughter, unfortunately I can tell you that you're wrong. Finding out details like this would permanently change my opinion of my dad/the kind of person he is...not make me stop loving him or anything, but I would never see him in the same way. And I'm in my 30s[/quote]

This would be for most especially if the family broke up.

No one wants to find out their parent sucks as a person.[/quote]

Oh good grief. Pretending people aren't human and are good is naive.  If any mans daughter saw the things he fantasizes about in his mind she would never see him the same. Everything is fake to different degrees. When someone has lived long enough they know people who have never been exposed as an idiot are often bigger idiots than those who have been humbled by failures.[/quote]

Human is burning the toast, shrinking a sweater, using unkind words when mad... throwing your family under the bus... is not just being human it's sucking as a human. Just own it don't try to down play it.[/quote]

Since what, 1/3 - 1/2 of all people cheat, it is pretty human to cheat. It isn't pretty, it isn't kind. but it is human.[/quote]

I am not sure that I agree with this assessment. So would you say it was pretty human to support slavery because many did, and therefore slavery was not as disgusting?

If I found out that my parent cheated, I will lose something for them. I would not call it respect, but I will look at them a tiny bit differently.[/quote]

Humans are generally fairly disgusting in their natural state. I can't see how you can argue with that unless you're completely myopic and satisfied with the sanitized version of the world fed to yo by American media. It's irrelevant for this specific discussion whether you personally support slavery or don't. What's relevant is there are more enslaved humans in the world today than ever before. This is what humans are currently do to each other and to each other's children. Is it disgusting? Obviously. Do people support it? I would hope not. But most turn a blind eye and allow it to happen day in and day out. Don't kid yourself, we're all complicit in this. It is part of human experience, ergo it's human.

Another human thing is empathy. But empathy is learned, most often by suffering. In other words, unless you're able to experience the trappings of a failed marriage yourself, you'll find it difficult to empathize with a parent who was less than a picture-perfect human being. For better or worse, most relationships fail miserably. Please we live in a society that often makes it difficult to walk away from it (for good reasons). I'd argue that most adults would be more tolerant to their parents' indiscretions.  [/quote]
