Hi everyone,
I (F18) recently found out that my mom has been cheating on my dad. I know her account details for a trip booking service, and she recently booked a trip with another guy in rooms with only 1 bed. However, in the past, my dad has also cheated on my mom and they reconciled and got back together with the idea of staying together for the kids. I am the youngest child of the family so technically there are no more “kids” to stay together for. In the end I just want my parents to be happy.
I would not say they’re the happiest married couple and kind of just do their own thing. Clearly they’ve had many problems in the past too. My dad doesn’t really “spoil” my mom the way girls want to be spoiled and I think she feels neglected. Also I feel like because my dad cheated she should be able to do her own thing too. It just feels wrong that my mom’s cheating when they aren’t divorced yet. Maybe my dad’s still cheating, I don’t know. He occasionally will disappear for a few days and not tell us where he’s been.
I’m not sure how to approach this. Do I interfere at all? Talk to my mom? My dad? Talk about how it’s okay to divorce? I just feel really uncomfortable with the whole thing and maybe it’s not my place to say anything.
I don’t know if there’s a correct answer to this, but I know nothing about relationships and marriage and would love advice from anyone who is familiar with this. Thanks so much.
