But, unlike a stolenlunch, the aftermath of cheating is messier than that family group chat argument.

Sounds solid, right?
Our guy was absolutely wrecked.
But the OP wasnt about to make any rash moves.
Now, lets pause for a second.
Imagine youre the wife here horrified, right?
At first, the daughter seemed okay-ish.
No dramatic door slams, no Ill never speak to you again!
But, over time, things got…weird.

Yeah, they werent having it.
They were firmly in the Dude, too far camp.
They argued that dragging thedaughterinto their marital mess was unnecessary and, honestly, kind of cruel.
And you know what?
Im with them on this one.
Oh boy, theyre walking emotional rollercoasters as it is.
Learning about a parents infidelity can mess with their trust and give them a pretty cynical view of relationships.
Add bad communication to the mix, and its a recipe for sleepless nights and constant tension.
