I am very sure my dad is cheating on my mom...AGAIN. read!:(
Question Posted Thursday June 14 2012, 7:19 pm
I am very sure my dad is cheating/ being unfaithful to my mom.....AGAIN! from what I know this would be at least the 4th time. My mom and I went to go pick up my father from work yesterday. He asked me to come inside his job to help him carry a few things out, so I did. I was introduced to his boss, he seemed very friendly and comfortable with this man like they are friends. I then started walking ahead of them and I heard them laughing his boss said "please introduce me to your wife, so I can tell her all ur antics and the things you do around here!" My dads whole mood changed after he said that, he became nervous and uncomfortable and said" you dont need to go there, no you do not need to go there." I could tell he knew I heard what his boss said. I tried to act like I didn't hear it..it bothered me a lot. The way his boss said it made me think he is messing around with the females at his job. Considering my fathers past. He has cheated on my mom before. My mom was devastated by it, but yet she still stands by him and is still in a relationship with him. Should I tell her what he said? would it even make a difference..
If I was your dads boss and was aware of his past, especially with you with in hearing range, I would have never have teased him this way. I doubt your dads boss would have either.
I teased my coworkers and later employees this way because I respected them and liked the work they did. Unlike children most adults, especially people in authority, only tease the people they like. The others they either simply ignore or if they cannot ignore them are just as polite as the curcumstances call for.
Yes you heard what you heard. Though since you are aware of your dads past you put two and two together and this time I believe 2 and 2 made 7. I believe dad's boss was just teasing him so leave it at that. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

As a child, you have to be independant in this. It's unhealthy for you to take sides. The problem is between your father and your mother. Your mother was obviously devastated before, and if you say what you heard, you will worry her again. It's understandable if his boss said "let me tell you wife about how you've been having an affair", but he didn't. He said "your antics" - that can be anything: not working properly, joking around with friends, making jokes etc.
The possibility of breaking them apart is not worth it. They have to discuss it out alone.
You could approach your dad about it though. Just ask him what he meant. This way, at least he knows you know, and may tell your mother himself (IF he has been cheating), and they can sort through whatever problems they are having. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
