UPDATE: I [22F] am getting married soon. My mom had an affair 5 years ago and destroyed our family. We are slowly rebuilding a relationship but it's not close. Dad just told me if she's at the wedding he can't come. Help me!

Completely bullshit God I hate society today.

For fuck sakes your mom cheated. CHEATED. I don't care if she didn't love or anything she agreed to marriage.

Please OP tell me honestly how you'd feel if Steve cheated.

Yes. Your Dad needs to get over it. But he loved her with everything he has. He needs therapy as well to move on.

It doesn't make sense. I guarantee if the man had been the one who cheated and the woman had been moping around you would've taken the mothers side. That's how it is nowadays. Women can basically deal with less when doing wrong.

Sorry OP but I think this is really shitty on your part. No disrespect but your mom should be out of your life. This is what she gets for cheating on your dad. She basically said she didn't care about you or your brother when she cheated. She cared more about an affair rather than the family. She honestly puts her boyfriend above all of you and if it came down to it would choose the boyfriend over any of you.

Yes your dad isn't completely off the hook because it has been 5 years. But you really don't see where he's coming from.

Women today are just cancer. Your mom is disgusting for cheating. None of it is justified and she's a hoe to me.

I guarantee if the opposite were to happen you'd still take your moms side. You really don't see why your dad feels this way and don't understand why it's tough.

Let Steve cheat on you after 18+ years and tell me how you feel.

Your dad feels like he wasted his life on a woman who could give him up so easily.

I'm done. Get help. So much for religion.
