My Dad is cheating, what should I do?
Sorry this is going to be a bit sad, but I’d really like some help.
I’m at my parents house for a few days while my partner is away, we live together on the other side of town so I don’t see my family often, and this morning my Mum was out at the physio and Dad asked her to pick up lunch. While she was out Dads phone dinged and I assumed it was Mum texting to say ‘what do you want?’ or something so I checked his phone for him (he was outside listening to the radio gardening) I pulled down the notification screen (if that’s what you call it?) and saw that the message was an email saying ‘lady has responded to your priority mail’ (I won’t give away the actual screen name). It was from a website called “Ashley Madison”. I put the phone back and went to talk to my sister to ask her opinion, (I’m 23 she’s 16) she said that it’s most likely spam as Dad is always home (though he often goes away for scrabble tournaments, now I’m wondering if they really are). I also called my partner and he said the same. Now, I’m not proud of this next part, and most of you will say it wasn’t my place but I went through my Dads phone. Upon further investigation, I found not only does he have profile but he’s had one for an entire year. Messages, photos of himself, an entire profile description. I’ve told my partner but haven’t spoken to my sister yet. I’m at a loss, what should I do? Confront my dad? Tell my Mum? She loves him so much and has done so much for him, it would break her heart. Have any of you been in a similar situation? Any advice? Yes, I know I shouldn’t have looked through his phone, but I wanted to be sure and I wasn’t going to do nothing. I could really use some guidance. Thanks.
