I'm not even ultra conservative. I'm in an open marriage and think the OP is disgusting. I'd NEVER expose my kids to my sex life. Never.
You already have and are no better. If you two didn't have kids, another matter because you both agree. You have no right to do that with children.
Come again? Coherently this time.

She made a mistake. Cut her some slack. She fucked up, big time. Have you never fucked up???? Realllllly?
OP, good luck. Let your DD know how sorry you are and how much you love her. Full stop. Deal with your marriage independently of dealing with your daughter.

When I came clean with DH, this is what he told me. He is not sure what he wants to do at this moment. It is very clear and has been clear for some time that our marriage has been broken. The kiss is a symptom of this, not a cause. The cause, he says, is our inability to effectively and constructively deal with intractable differences that revolve around careers and money. Every fight we seem to have are around those two things - oh, and housework. He also says that he knows that I've probably been seeing this guy on and off for some time, and that it is very poor judgement on my part to have brought him home. "You f**ked up," he said, "And now it is on you to repair whatever relationship you want to have with our daughter." He is coming back from his latest business trip this Friday, says he is not sure whether he wants me to pick him up at the airport, not sure whether he wants to celebrate Easter as a family. He told me I need to get into therapy and fix myself and figure out how to go about fixing relationship with DD.
I asked this on a prior page and you have yet to answer.
How did the husband know you were having an affair to begin with?
Smart husband. That's what I would do then get things in order to dump the cheater. It's over imo once someone cheats because you can't ever trust that person again. Plus I would view that person as contaminated and they contaminated the marriage.
Record of texts on our cell phone bill. Lots of texts back and forth to the same number, unexplained long absences from home, "late" work, etc. Also, once said he left his cell phone in my car and was able to track it to an address which was a hotel.

Hot. Does your DH get any action or is it just you?

They never felt okay in future relationships and had commitment phobia. One said it was the shock that her parent's stable marriage was all a lie. She didn't think anyone could be faithful in a marriage.
I doubt it was ALL a lie. There were lies, but most was probably true and some was lies.
To a child, it makes them feel like everything stable and everything they thought they knew about their parents (and mother in particular) was a lie. Kids don't shrug their shoulders over this. It's a terribly betrayal. My father did something similar. There are 3 of us kids and none of us have a relationship with him. When their marriage fell apart, we fiercely protected and sided with our mother. His flagrant affair cost him his children. Obviously, it is not only the affair that destroyed our relationship, but anyone who does something like that, has serious character flaws that permeate their entire lives.
I agree that he has character flaws that he decided not to address. If the OP addresses her character flaws she can probably salvage her relationship with her daughter.
I am not saying it is not a punch to the stomach. But a family can get through this with counseling. Your father sounds like he took no responsibility in the matter and the result is kids that don't have a relationship with him.
