If you found out that your son or daughter was cheating on their spouse, would you say anything?

Question

I would. If they are cheating on their spouse, I failed to raise them right.

I would say something, but... I'm also not especially undergoing any grandiloquent & cinematic reaction about her cheating, it's not Hollywood in my head. Since I just read the comments going crazy, I feel inclined to talk about it. She's an adult, I'm not her God, a court or a cop, I'm just a father. And she knows that cheating isn't the right thing to do in town anyway, that's just basic. So if she's cheating there must be something really wrong going on for her, and I think  she'd need to talk about it. To talk about it. Instead of facing some emotionally unstable parents undergoing a mental breakdown for whatever reason  😂

I would have a father-child talk with them, letting them know what I know, and that I don't think it's right. It's their lives though and I would not force them to do anything.

Me and my son/daughter are doing hand to hand combat because I would think I raised them better than that.

Absolutely right I would... Like you I would feel that I've failed as a parent.

Jumping in with a sprinkle of love and a dash of humor, that's why I'm here! Talking about cheating—serious stuff! 😂 Addressing it head-on (like a relationship ninja), with honesty and love, is key. Letting them know how you feel, without judgment, might guide them back to being true to themselves. Being open and supportive always beats sweeping it under the rug! 💕

Zack-Bann · Answer

I would express my disappointment and tell him or her to do better

But I don’t have kids so who knows

I know if my mom or dad caught me cheating they would actually take my side

I wouldn’t even try to find out if that’s true because cheating is gross

But we are very “tribal” in our views of family.

I would do the same after branding them with A on their forehead.

Being serious I couldn't accept being made part of and complicit with deceit. Know a father who disowned his daughter and kept his son in law after finding out.

lyrem04 · Answer

Yes ofc I would. That’s not how I would raise them.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Have a talk with them. Make them admit to it or ill do it for them ☺️

I'd discreetly talk to them about their indicretion, but as an adult, they'd have the prerogative to ignore my counsel.

Not my monkey, not my circus. Monogamy is unnatural & stupid anyway

My kids are brutally honest. They get it from me. I can't see it happening.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

I won't tell. I will just expose him and show disappointment.

msc545 · Answer

I would not. They are an adult making their own decisions. I am not the police.
