What if you found out your dad is cheating?

I do not think it would be a good idea at all for her to tell the mother, Who is to say the mom doesn't already know, or maybe the mom won't want to know? It'd be some awkwardness between mother and daughter then. Nor should the daughter confront her father, I think the best thing to do is just let them figure it out, maybe he's not cheating...

Good day! If ever I saw my dad cheating on my mom, I would confront him as soon as he arrives home, without my mom knowing it. I would not tell my mom about it first. I will talk to my dad and make him explain whatever is going on. Whatever he says, I would just tell him that it makes me feel bad and that he should stop the relationship with other girl. If not, I have no choice but to tell my mom about it. I do believe that a father should be responsible for the mistakes that he make. After all if I caught him with another girl, it only means that I am not just the one saw him, maybe my neighbors do also, or my friends, or my friends' friends. It is just right to tell your mom about it once your father continues on cheating her.

Before she tells her mother any thing she must understand that many times the wife or husband knows they other person is cheating but for some reason decides to do nothing about it. If she has small children she may decide to stay for their sake. Especially if he is a good father. If she says something to her mother her mother will have to act and she may not be ready or willing. Why not get your father alone and talk to him? Tell him that if you know about it other people probably do to. Explain that you will say nothing but others might. Tell him you love him and don't want to be in the middle. Good Luck.

She should, because it is better to stop it as earlier as possible. But maybe she have to told her mom in a calm situation and stop judging first before they all know the truth. How ever, her father is deserve to make some explanation for that.

As hard as it would be, I believe she should report it to her mom. I understand such situations personally, and they seem to be on the increase everywhere. I think it is better to know the truth than procede in ignorance of it for so many reasons. Betrayal is always wrong, no matter who does it and it is very harmful to all involved. Hopefully, reporting it can put a stop to it.

hi, i think it would be better if your friends should tell her mother. for if not, she's also cheating her mother, and her father would continue the cheating issue.Once and for all, give her mother and father a peace of mind,,,tell your friend to tell her mother.

she should tell her mum because its not healhty for your friend to be stuck with this information and eat away at her. And also her mum has a right to know...her life is being wasted if she is loving someone who doesn't love her enough to not cheat on her

She can approach his dad so she can unravel the mystery, it should be a Dad and Daughter talk.

I think she should talk to her dad first to ask for her dad's explanation n then determine the best n wisest way to resolve their family problem.

Well, this is really unfair as dad is the backbone of the family. He has to be more responsible. I think you can tell this to your mom and advice your dad to take care of the family!

Oh, boy! That is not a good idea unless your friend wanted to start World War III and witness apocalypse up close and personal. Doing that could wreck the union. I suggest she confront her dad and give him ultimatum! Threaten him to tell the mother even though she does not intend to do so. Just a little bluff might him straight for life or at least for a while
