The next day my D15 says is Daddy cheating on you? I sat her down and said, Yes, that is why Daddy has been acting the way that he has been because he knows he is doing something wrong. I told her that married people do not have boyfriends and girlfriends and that I did not want this and right now even though Daddy is leaving that I still want us to be married and will keep busy and work on myself and see what happens. I told her that Daddy and me were married for 21 years and I will not give up on my marriage after 3 months of bad behavior. I told her I was sad and angry about Daddy but I loved him.
Very, very well done, 3343. That is almost word-for-word what I told my S-then-14, and he too, already knew, as did my two adult daughters.
