If I wasn’t living with them. I’d tell them and let them handle it. The other deserves to know. If I was living with them, I’d wait POSSIBLY, just to buy myself time as an offspring who would be trying to make it in life.
Everyone knows a household that lacks peace is disturbing to growth and focus.
For the children it’s survival of the fittest. They can’t play Doctor if they’re not getting paid for it and let their parents decisions affect the children. Just not fair to them.
Thats my piece on this matter. 👐

In Highschool I caught my then girlfriends Dad cheating. He used to constantly give me a hard time. I worked part time washing dishes at this restaurant. One day I was bringing out a tray of glasses & there he was with another woman.
He did a double take then pretended not to see me. I was oblivious at the time to what he was doing & walked over to say hello. He acted very short & nervous wouldn’t make eye contact.
After work I stopped by my girlfriends asked where her Dad was. She said he had to stay late at work 😑
Guess who didn’t bother me ever again after that.
I never caught my mom cheating, but I had my suspicions. It seemed like she was a lot happier at the time though, my dad isn't/wasn't a very nice person to her, and I didn't really have the evidence to substantiate my claims, so I just kept it to myself.
To be totally real, I also have a pretty strong suspicion that my dad was stepping out on my mom. My dad finds these weird little logical abstractions where he can justify whatever behavior he wants though, so I have no doubt that he wouldn't have seen it as cheating.
I hyperventilated and had my first panic attack. Anyways I then made the decision to tell my mum what I had heard. I then spent the next 8 years paying fir that decision. She punished me in a way I never thought she would.
She'd known my father was a cheat but wanted to keep it a secret for as long as she could...

Record it and anonymously send it to the other parent. I wouldn't record someone having sex but if they’re kissing someone and stuff yea i’m getting pics, videos, voice recordings etc. I’d be sending letters like “i know what you did last summer”
I would tell them, "tough luck... now you have to be a bit more honest"
and come forward, lol... there's no way I would ever just ignore it or cover, for no reasonNot possible one has passed away. But my parents would have NEVER cheated on each other. While they fought like any couple, I think they both realized they could NEVER find a better partner.
I think this is the dividing line between my parents and couples of today. I don't think my parents ever considered divorce even as an option.
I think this mentality filters down to all my siblings they're all married, the shortest being 17 years so far to 36 years so far. It's also why I think I'll always be the only one who's single. I see how loyal the women in my family are to thier spouses. And I just don't see that in the general woman population. I don't know whether this is a curse or a blessing🤣
My mom admitted to me that she cheated after my Dad died. It was a little bit surprising because she tended to be goodie-two shoes about stuff like that.
But, also she was a particularly attractive older woman and cheating is not only more common than people think but also is most often prevented by a lack of opportunities.I would keep that for myself. I'm good in keeping secrets, especially if there is no benefit for me to reveal them. I doubt there would be any benefit to destabilize my parent's relationship.
Say nothing. I have. Both of them. One had to pay the other got paid (and yes I was watvhing their finances)
Say nothing. I'd hate it but that's between them.
My dad did cheat on my mom but I'm not the one who found them, thank goodness.I would be absolutely mortified and beyond consoling.
Probably go blind people no child should be subjected to witnessing parent sex in any form 🤮
Well I went to college in the 70’s in south Florida, my Dad came down to visit me a few times and I always hooked him up and got him laid, my mom never found out. It was a different time. Funny thinking back
I lived through this. I kept my fathers secret, It was a horror show.
I’d tell the other one and prob hate the unfaithful one
Honestly dont know. Would be class as cheating if your dad passed away 10 years ago.
I'd tell the other parent immediately
Not my problem. These degenerates made their bed and have doomed themselves.
Nothing. Not my business.
