Well that's sweet. :D She'll probably need someone to vent to for a while. Try to keep her from feeling like the whole family has suddenly up and abandoned her.

@337,645 (A) > Boohoo, father is being happy after 20+ years of staying with mom so we could have a father growing up.
Grow the fuck up, he already did what he had to do, now it is his time to be happy.

It is a 2 way street, if the father is not happy why stay with the mother if he already raised his children? This are not 10 year olds we are talking about; as OP said, the youngest of 3 kids is 23 years old.

Monogamy is a lie. False expectations usually result in butthurt.

While I agree monogamy is problematic, you're an ass if you agree to it and can't follow through.

Monogamy is a fantasy, because our eyes wander & we get excited and then follow through. Have you once looked at the divorce rate where you live?

I don't practice monogamy and I'm not outright upset about the divorce.
I'm upset about the disrespect and deception.

Deception is SOP when Married and messing around. Deception is necessary if one is Married and is messing around.

I don't see what your point is. Had he come out and told your mother to her face he wanted to fuck other women, you'd say that was "disrespectful." This is the kind of shit that emerges as a result of living a lie.
You're disrespecting your own father's need for sexual and emotional fulfillment. What are you a god damn cockblocker or something? Do you think he should live unhappily to make your life easier? You seem like an ungrateful little shit to me. You should be grateful to have a father in your life at all. Forgive him and get the fuck over it.

I didn't ask for your opinions. I didn't give you the full background information because you're not my therapist and I'm not looking for your views.
You're just interjecting with your own experiences and worldviews. While those are valid for your lives, they're not applicable to mine.

OK Deal is you are expected to feel bad. Hope after the grieving period you feel better.
Edison said "As a cure for feeling bad, work is better than whiskey."
Me I say a little whiskey helps.
