Have any of your parents had affairs (that you knew about)?

Ive seen emails my dad sent to this one lady years ago when I was a teenager but didnt really think anything of it.. it was more flirting back and forth and im pretty sure she sent him nudes, i dont know if he returned the favor nor do I want to know. My mom also told me about some racy conversations she had with this one guy who was a family friend but Ive never met him and how he wanted to meet up with her. I dont think they have but again I dont want to know. My sister caught my mom and told my dad about it and she tried covering it up as jokes but I'm staying out of it. Parents have been married for over 30 years, my mom claims they havent had sex in quite a few years and she doesnt even have the urge to anymore. And they argue a lot. Sometimes I wonder why they are still together but I think its just easier for them so I just stay out of it.

Ive never really thought about how its affected me til this post right now actually. Ive had an affair on my husband before and he found out and decided to stay with me. Weve tried working things out and our relationship really isnt that bad of a relationship, I just have trouble getting turned on by him. He can get turned on by me easily but I cant even get wet with him.. I've had other affairs he doesnt know about and I have no trouble being wet with them, so I know its not an issue with my vagina.. I think I'm still with my husband because like my parents, its just easier. Im a horrible person... I know it. We've swung a couple times before and we both enjoyed it, but its hard finding a couple we are both attracted to and now hes deployed so thats on the backburner again. Ive thought about divorce a lot. But i also dont want to leave him screwed or myself screwed. And I know if we do divorce, without both of our incomes together, wed be screwed.
