Should I continue keeping my parents' (they cheated on each other long ago) secret to myself?

[SarahS98]

I already know (through dad's abandoned journal) my parents cheated on each other long ago. Mom cheated in 1992 when they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Dad's revenge cheating took place in 2000 (though they were married by then and I was just 2 years old) and apparently they've worked on their issues long ago. My twin sisters and I grew up thinking it was a perfect family. Never knew that sordid detail.

By Aug they'll be 27 years married. I haven't told anyone that, not even my own parents, sistera nor husband; no one. Everyone in the family and friends have a great image about my parents. Normally I hate keeping secrets in a marriage but is this the one secret I have to forever keep to myself?

If I were to reveal what I know, their image would plummet, esp mom's because her cheating at the time was worse.. yet she was forgiven. Dad didn't rat her out to his parents nor friends nor anyone when it happened and mom didn't tell anyone about his brief revenge affair. That's why both of my parents get along with both sets of our grandparents. My parents kept that to themselves. I'm the only one that knows what happened.

Don’t see any point in airing it out. If they are both aware of eachothers affairs and worked through it why would it be anyone else’s business

True. I guess they have a different concept on what loving your partner Is.

Yes, keep it to yourself no reason to bring it up unless you want to cause issues..

[SarahS98]

True. I see them happy and I guess that's all that matters. It just sucks that I had to stumble upon his old journal last year in Oct. Prior to that I never knew that.

Yes, you should. What good would it do to bring it up? If you can't stand it, tell someone else.

[SarahS98]

True. There is nothing to gain from telling. I'm just impressed they were able to overcome that and get along so well to the point brother my sisters nor I ever knew nor even suspected they had those issues in the past. If I had never ready dad's journal I would've never guessed.

I would keep it to myself because no-good can come. from it - just a lot of hurt.

[SarahS98]

Yes it'll be pointless telling anyone. They kept that to themselves all these years, never ratted on each other.
Once in a while I still wonder how it's possible to be a happy couple even though they cheated on each other in the past.
