Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?

If you are this allergic to nuance, I recommend staying away from threads that require logical/rational breakdowns of heavily-emotional topics.

You can’t just jump the gun (having fun blowing up families) about someone just because they answered OOPs question in an impartial manner.

So if you seriously cannot engage with this topic without resuming to attacks, I implore you to take a step back, reasess, and move on to something else.

Nah. Im allowed to do whatever I want.

And I want to call out people for excusing an affair. The dad could have done it the right way, like an actual adult. Asking for a divorce is hard, but immeasurably easier emotionally to the person you make a commitment to than sneaking around and finally getting caught WITH YOUR ASSISTANT

  No one is excusing an affair. People are merely trying to help OOP navigate an emotionally complex situation: wanting to keep contact with their father despite the circumstances, and wondering if their mother’s actions are justifiable or not.
  
  You can do whatever you want, but that does not absolve you of consequences.
  
  I only gave you genuine advice, taking breaks/disengaging is helpful. I cannot force you, ofcourse, there’s only so much I can do.
  
  So please consider above, and have a nice day

    Hey I know this guy just did one of the most deplorable things a man can do, but just continue having fun with him. It’ll be fine.

  Not from Kansas. Well traveled and have seen a bunch of relationships. I’ve seen people get divorced and I’ve seen infidelity.
  
  I have immeasurably more respect for those that get divorced no matter how hard it is. Breaking the vow through being a cheater is about as low as you can go.
  
  Sorry you don’t hold marriage to sanctity it shoudl be

    Says the man posting from lemmynsfw. Things in your second marriage must be going super well
    
    If you held marriage to any standard, a man breaking his vows to sleep WITH HIS ASSISTANT should be pretty deplorable. And recommended an atleast young adult to just brush past that like it’s just another mistake is insane.
    
    Yeah, just look the other way that he figuratively slapped your mom across the face. Atleast he’s cool though
