Search Results: how do explain cheating

I just heard about a story from a man in his 60s. His daughter got pregnant, and she told her boyfriend. The boyfriend then spoke to the man and told him that he plans to propose and do the right thing.

One day the boyfriend turns up to the man's house with the daughter. He doesn't say a word. He brings her suitcase to the door and drives off, leaving her. Through tears she explains that she cheated on him while he was away and that the baby isn't his. He only found out because one of her friends told him so, otherwise she was going to continue to let him think that the baby was his.

Upon hearing this her Dad said nothing, but he was disgusted. Her mother comforted her. The man then said that he was shocked to hear what the mother, his wife, had to say about the situation.

The mother said to the daughter that she'll find someone better, and that the man clearly wasn't man enough to stay with her. She basically defended her daughter's actions and painted the now ex-boyfriend, the guy she cheated on and tried to trick into raising the other man's kid, the asshole.

I've heard similar stories. I think that most men will be disgusted by this, but women? It seems that some are disgusted, just like the girl's friend was. While others defend the woman and attack the man. Some maybe just keep quiet and let her do whatever she's gonna do.

Who's the asshole here?
